Dear Students, Congratulations on your admission to the Graduate School of International Studies at Yonsei University . We will do everything possible to make your days here as memorable and enjoyable as possible. We believe you will enjoy , Yonsei University , and our program as much as your predecessors. This letter will try to clarify what’s left for you to do and also give you some options on various matters such as your visa and health insurance. It is extremely important that you follow these instructions to avoid any possible delays in beginning your studies. VISA Non-Korean citizens must obtain a student visa (D-2) from the Korean Embassy or Consulate if you are abroad or from the Korean Immigration Office if you are currently in . You need to take care of this before the semester begins. Otherwise, you can be heavily fined. D-2 Student Visa You will need the following: 1. Completed visa application form (obtainable from any Korean consulate or at the immigration office) 2. Valid passport 3. Official Admissions Letter from the Yonsei GSIS (Certificate of Admission) 4. A processing fee To avoid making unnecessary trips to the Korean Embassy or Immigration Office for your visa application, you should consult the nearest Korean Embassy (or Korean Immigration Office) to confirm the list of required documents. If you are currently in Korea and under a different type of visa other than D-2 or are planning to acquire one, you must contact the Korean Immigration Office (Website: http://www.hikorea.go.kr/) directly to check whether you need to change your visa status or obtain a study permit. In any case, you must obtain the necessary visa or permission before the semester begins. Otherwise, you may be subject to heavy fines and penalties according to relevant laws. ORIENTATION Orientation will be held in New Millennium Hall (NMH, 새천년관:â€Sae-Cheon-Nyeon-Gwanâ€) on August 25, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. New students will be briefed on Yonsei University and the Yonsei GSIS program. Upperclassmen will be present to help you with any questions, registration, course selection, etc. TUITION PAYMENT Tuition for the 2009 Fall semester is yet to be decided. For your information, the tuition for 2009 spring semester was ￦6,876,000 (approximately US$ 5,300 including the entrance fee)). Please note that the tuition and fees are set in Korean Won and usually increase on a yearly basis. The amount in foreign currency is subject to change due to exchange rate fluctuations. You can choose to wire transfer the fee or go to a Korean bank in person to make the payment. If you are planning to go to the bank and pay in person, you can bring bank checks or international money orders and cash it to make the payment. Personal checks, traveler’s checks and credit cards cannot be accepted. Tuition and mandatory fees can be paid only during the designated period (Aug. 21 ~ 28). Detailed instructions on how to make a payment will follow by email around mid-August. Failing to pay the tuition during the designated period will result in the cancellation of the admissions offer. If you need to pay tuition before the designated period for visa application purposes or for any other reasons, please let us know. STUDENT ID CARD To apply for a student ID card, an international student need to submit a copy of his/her national ID card or a copy of his/her credit card in addition to the copy of his/her passport to Woori bank Yonsei branch for verification. So, please bring your national ID card (picture included version) or a credit card with you when you come to Korea. CHANGE OF MAJOR International student who wishes to change their majors, are allowed to do so, but only within one week after their first semester starts. In order for a student to change his/her major, approval must be obtained from the chairs of the programs. HEALTH INSURANCE The Graduate School of International Studies requires all students to possess health insurance coverage. The GSIS office will need to verify that you possess health insurance by receiving the copy of your insurance card or certificate within the first week of the semester. We understand that this may cause an additional burden in studying abroad. However, to guarantee a minimum level of safety, this measure must be followed. To ensure your safety while studying in , it is essential that you make these arrangements prior to entering the school. The GSIS Office provides information on private health insurance that covers foreigners with a reasonable price. You will be provided with more detailed information at orientation.

Yes, you are accepted. The first sentence tells you that and congratulates you. Allow me to congratulate you also. The rest of the letter tells you things you have to do now that you are accepted. 1. You need a student visa if you are not Korean. You get this from the Korean Embassy. 2. You need to attend an orientation on August 25. 3. You need to pay tuition, but they don't know how much yet. 4. You will need a student ID card. 5. You need health insurance. And I guess there were other things but you reached the posting limit.
