1. Class Placement Test
    • Before the start of each course, students will take a placement test to determine their class in accordance with their level of Korean language proficiency.
    • The placement test includes interview (speaking), reading, and writing sections and will take about an hour.
    • A student may appeal against the placement on the same day of receiving the result, but it will be not accepted after the start of the class.
2. Attendance Policy
  • 1) Attendance
    • Students must attend at least 70% (140 hours) of total class days to be eligible to re-enroll. Re-enrollment is not possible if the attendance rate is less than 70%.
    • Either three tardies or three early-leaves are equivalent to one absence (an hour), and both will be determined by the 20-minute standard.
    • Students who are absent for more than three days (12 hours) per week will receive an absence warning (individually notified). Students may be suspended if they accumulative three absence warnings.
    • Students who are absent for three consecutive days without permission will receive a first absence warning (individually notified) as well.
    • If unexcused absences are repeated for more than 3 days after the first warning, the student will be suspended automatically without a second warning.
  • 2) Excused Absence Policy
    • Up to five days (20 hours) of absences due to marriage are excused. Documentation related to the wedding ceremony must be submitted.
    • Up to five days (20 hours) of absences due to the death of a close family member are excused.
    • Absences due to illness are excused only if written confirmation from the student’s medical provider is submitted. However, this confirmation must be submitted within three days of the absence date, and confirmation from the student health center is not accepted.
3. Grading and Completion Criteria
  • 1) Grading
    • Areas of assessment consist of four sections, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing, and two rounds of exams (midterm and final) will be taken in one course.
    • GPA is determined according to the grade criteria below, based on students’ average points received in final exams.
      A(4.0)=90~100, B(3.0)=89~80, C(2.0)=79~70, D(1.0)=69~60. F(0)=60~0
  • 2) Passing the Class Level
    • Students must have an attendance rate higher than 80% in order to complete the program and advance to the next level.
    • Students must achieve an average score of at least 70 in their final exams in order to complete the class and advance to the next level. However, each subject score must be over 50.
    • Students may conditionally move on to the next class level after faculty deliberation.
  • 3) Failure and Academic Dismissal
    • Students will fail if their average score received is less than 70 points.
    • Re-enrollment will be not accepted if a student fails three times in a row at the same level.
    • If any of a student’s four test areas score less than 50 points despite having attained an average GPA of 70 points or higher, it will result in a fail in the course. However, the student can retake the exam, but this time, they will need to attain more than 80 points in order to take the next class.
    • If a student is caught cheating during an exam or found to have cheated after the exam is over, they will fail that area and not be able to take the next class.
    • Cheating in more than three exams during the school year can lead to suspension with a warning.
    • Committing an act that causes harm to the school’s reputation is subject to suspension.
