Student Exchange Program
CUK offers a coeducational international program and welcomes students to study for one or two semesters as an exchange student at CUK. This program is open to undergraduate students enrolled as full-time students at our partner institutions. During the program, students will have opportunities to experience Korean culture, and develop "global competence" through the multicultural environment that CUK offers.
Exchange students are those nominated by partner institutions which have formal exchange agreements with CUK. Therefore, before applying for the CUK Student Exchange Program, students are asked to contact the related office of their home institutions in advance. Students are required to follow the process mentioned below.

Grading
Students will receive a letter grade ranging from A+ to F. The grade of “A” is given for excellent performance; “B” for above average; “C” for average; “D” for minimally passing performance; and “F” for failure. In addition, “+” and “0“ are used for further differentiation. A student’s performance with “+” indicates a superior performance in that letter grade, and “0“ indicates a slightly weaker performance in that letter grade. Other grades include “P” (pass) and “F” (fail). The grade will become a part of permanent record at CUK.
Transcripts
Credits earned at CUK can be transferred. Please consult with your study abroad advisor or academic advisor at your home institution for regulations concerning credit transfer. The official transcript will be sent to the home institution of an exchange student automatically. If you request more copies, you should pay for the transcript issuance fee and delivery fee.
