- Printed ([참고 2]): 고려인 living in Russia, Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan file an official paper proving that status; a 호구부 split into several books needs a kinship certificate from the police station
THE BANK BALANCE IS KRW 16,000,000 (USD 13,000) OR MORE. The document table says: issued within 30 days of the standard admission letter date.
The same guide's [참고 3] says: in the guarantor's name, USD $13,000 or more, issued within 30 days of the application date, or a domestic remittance or exchange certificate.
[참고 3] adds: a certificate with a validity period is accepted to that date, but only if issued within 6 months of the application deadline.
Application fee 100,000 won (the graduate school's domestic guide prints 50,000 won for its own track). Not refunded once received; part or all (less the 원서접수 수수료) can be refunded for a disaster, illness or accident not of your making.
ENTRANCE FEE 637,000 WON, ONCE, in its own column beside first-semester tuition (2026 rates; 2027 may change). Tuition is billed per 1학기 (first semester) in the table.
Round 1 admitted students file a registration pledge (등록확약) 1 to 4 December 2026 on the international office site; everyone pays tuition 4 to 8 January 2027; the standard admission letter follows in January.
Expected graduates who do not file the graduation certificate before entry fail, and the fee is not refunded. Forged papers cancel the admission and paid tuition is kept.
NO DORMITORY FEE IS PRINTED. Capacity: Jeonju campus 우석헌 1,500 beds (office 생활관); Jincheon campus 우석헌 232 beds and 학사마을 flats 252 beds (office 학생복지센터).

A correction on the application form must carry your own signature; papers and the fee are not returned. The school may ask for papers beyond this list (guide p.7).
The forms pack (from PDF p.18) also holds a doctor's certificate of health (chest X-ray, hepatitis B, tuberculosis, measles and more). The document table does not list it: ask whether to file it.
The application form asks for a photo 3 cm x 4 cm taken within the last 3 months. Its English page says a student should buy a health insurance policy for the stay; no price is printed.
