We announce the following academic operation plans for the Fall semester of 2021. 


1. The basic direction of academic operations for the Fall semester will comply with the government's quarantine rules.


  A. During the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd level of social distancing, the basic rules are zoom lectures assisted by limited face-to-face lectures.


1) For student safety, in order to secure distancing between students, face-to-face lectures are permitted with limit to number of participants. The permitted personnel for face-to-face lectures are 50 for university level and 20 for graduate school level. This is applicable for all theory, experiment and practical lectures, and if the lectures are segmented as different classes, the following standards are applied class-base. 

For classes that meet the personnel standards, whether the class is taught offline is decided by faculty in charge before the start of the semester for lecture room designations. This procedure does not take into account student permission. 


2) For university lectures with above 50 personnel, or graduate school lectures above 20 personnel, lectures could be held both online and offline basis. (Nemo class) 


3) In order to minimize on-campus congestion and student inconvenience due to offline lectures, we designate the following dates to go to school for different grades. 

-Freshmen and sophomores are designated Mon/Wed/Fri, juniors and seniors on Tues/Thurs, based on the first numbers on your class number. However, the standards are not based on the grade of the student enrolling. Also, some offline lectures may operate differently than standards due to major circumstances. 

-Graduate school are not officially designated going-to-school dates. However, we encourage majors to designate certain dates according to major circumstances.
