Entry requirements

The registration guide requires completed high school education and excludes expected-graduation, provisional graduation, GED and homeschooling certificates. Course pages state age 18 or older, while the general registration guide says there is no age limit; confirm the age rule before applying. For the on-campus D-4-1 route, register and pay for at least two terms, submit the category-specific documents and arrange the visa application yourself. Online application alone is insufficient: supporting documents must arrive by mail or in person within the period. Mainland-China education verification and bank-certificate rules differ from other cases; ask IIE for your exact checklist. Do not send an irreplaceable diploma because submitted documents are not returned. Admission, Certificate of Admission and visa approval are separate steps.

Course fees

Published from Fall 2026: KRW 1,850,000 tuition per regular ten-week term and KRW 120,000 application fee, charged once at the first application. The older per-term application-fee rule applied through Summer 2026. Textbooks, including hardcopy and e-book, are separate; ask about accommodation and other costs. The application fee is non-refundable. Confirm the invoice, tuition cancellation terms and your required number of terms with IIE; a two-term D-4-1 requirement is not a separate course or a visa guarantee.

Intake

Winter 2026 classes run 14 December 2026–25 February 2027; the published application period is 7 September–30 October 2026, with placement/orientation on 24 November. Spring 2027 classes run 29 March–9 June; applications are listed for 7 December 2026–22 January 2027, with placement/orientation on 16 March. Supporting documents must arrive within the application period. Country-specific earlier processing and visa requirements need confirmation; exact cutoff time/timezone is unstated. Confirm summer placement separately because two official pages give different dates.
