Course registration process
- 1 Students can register for their courses by logging in to the course registration system on the University website (using the same ID and password required for SAINT login) during each semester’s course registration period. A course registration banner is created on the website.
- 2During the registration period, students must check the courses offered for the semester through the course registration guide issued each semester and the “Information on Courses Offered” page on the website. This process allows students to decide what to pursue across core courses, pre-major courses, and required/elective major courses to meet their curriculum requirements. Before registering for courses, students are advised to choose courses that are suitable for their year and semester and refer to the “Course Registration References” in the “Information on Courses Offered” page.
- 3In particular, graduates must check their course completion status from the “Course Completion List” in SAINT to ensure that they have completed all the required courses for graduation.
Course registration ( number of credits)
- 1 Students are allowed to register for a minimum of nine credits and a maximum of 19 credits, including repeated courses, per semester. Note that this is 12–21 credits for students admitted in 2009 or earlier, but in their eighth semester, such students can register for a minimum of nine credits.
- 2Students who have completed an average of 17 credits (18 credits for students admitted in 2009 or earlier) per regular semester and whose cumulative GPA (CGPA) is 3.75 or higher (3.5 for students admitted in 2021 or earlier) as well as students selected for the bachelor’s–master’s program can register for up to 22 credits (24 credits for students admitted in 2009 or earlier).
- 3Graduates who have accumulated at least 102 credits (98 credits for social science/economics/business program students) can register for up to 22 credits, while students who were admitted in 2009 or earlier and who have accumulated at least 110 credits can register for up to 24 credits.
Classroom allocation
- 1 Information on classroom allocation for each course becomes available before the start of the semester on the University website’s “Information on Courses Offered” or through SAINT (Academic Management > Courses/Grades > Course Registration Inquiry).
Important notes regarding course registraration
- 1Returning students must apply for return to school at the One Stop Service Station during the leave of absence/returning to school application period in order to register for courses.
- 2Regarding the courses offered for Communications and Art & Technology majors, only students in the relevant majors are allowed to register for them during the initial course registration period. However, students in other majors can register for these courses during the course confirmation and change period.
- 3Regarding the courses offered for Sogang Business School (SBS) program majors, only students majoring in the SBS program (including students taking the SBS program as their second or third major) can register for these courses.
- 4To register for courses requiring prerequisites, students must complete the required prerequisite(s).
- 5Regarding courses that are reserved for certain groups of students (e.g., courses for retakers, first timers, students with student numbers ending in a specific number, and beginners), students who do not belong to these groups are strongly discouraged from registering for these reserved courses to avoid potential penalties.
- 6After the initial course registration, lecture schedules and classrooms may change due to course cancellations, course section adjustments, newly opened courses, and faculty members’ personal circumstances. Therefore, students must regularly check the website for notices and the latest course-related information.
- 7Courses can be cancelled when the number of registered students is less than 60 for major courses, less than 20 for required core courses, and less than 25 for core electives and general education electives.
Permission to attend course
- 1Students who are unable to register for an intended course due to course restrictions (e.g., quota restrictions) can be granted permission to attend the course by submitting an application to attend courses (a designated form) and securing approval from the professor in charge of the course. However, students cannot be granted permission to attend courses in excess of their maximum allowable credits, including repeated courses.
- 2The application for permission to attend courses, approved by the professor in charge, should be submitted to the college administrative team of the student’s first major during the course confirmation and change period. Students must visit SAINT and ensure that their application has been properly processed.
