2. Important Notices
Cumulative GPA Confirmation
To consider and respect as much as our partners’ diverse grading system and to meet the qualification of theHanyang University exchange program, we would like to request a confirmation from the student’s home
university for the cumulative GPA. There will be a part on the nomination form to confirm that the student’s
cumulative GPA is over 60% based on home university grading system, and it should be confirmed by the homeuniversity coordinator in order for the student to be qualified to apply for the Hanyang exchange program.

National Health Insurance
The Korean government is mandating all long-term sojourn foreigners to be registered for the National Health
Insurance (NHI) since March 2021. Exchange students will be subject to the registration after applying for theForeign Registration Card. The monthly amount of the NHI will be approximately 76,000 KRW from January2024. Please note that the individual health insurance will be still required, as the NHI will not be valid until theforeign registration card is issued, and it may not cover some unexpected matters related to international
students, such as hospitalization and etc. Note those eligible for NHI Registration Exemption can apply for
exemption on their own, and further information will be shared later.

Exchange students are allowed to take courses from different departments upon availability. The most up-todate course list becomes available a month prior to the beginning of semester. Until then, students should referto the previous year’s course list. (e.g. 2024 Fall semester applicant should refer to 2023 Fall semester courselist). But note course list may differ every year. The previous English-taught course list (https://bit.ly/3TpzL6N)

and the number of graduate courses to take can be highly limited.
