This handbook was created in order to make your orientation to Korea University, its Institute of International Education and the International Summer Campus a little easier. Inside you will find policies, procedures, living arrangements and miscellaneous information concerning your stay in Korea. Korea University Originally founded as Bosung College in 1905, Korea University (KU) is widely acknowledged as one of the three “Ivy League” universities in Korea. KU offers a rich variety of courses in liberal arts and science as well as in all professional fields including law, medicine, and business administration. The three KU campuses cover over 182 acres and are home to more than 31,700 students from all over the nation and the world. Anam campus (the main campus and your teaching location) is located in Anam-Dong (Anam Ward), Seongbuk-ku (Seongbuk District) Seoul. Ten minutes away on foot is the Science campus. The third campus is located at Seo-Chang, 140km south of Seoul. The IIE is located on the Anam campus. The students of KU are among the nation’s brightest and KU has an excellent academic reputation. More information about KU can be found at: http://iie.korea.ac.kr/koreauniversity/ku.php The Institute of International Education (IIE) The Institute of International Education, located in Room 126 on the first floor of the International Studies Hall, was established in 2003 as part of Korea University’s accelerated drive to enhance its role not only as one of not only Asia’s but also the world’s elite universities. The Institute is the administrative body for the International Summer Campus program and is responsible for your stay at KU. IIE Administration
The Korea University area code is 3290. Dial 9 to call outside Korea University. Inquiries Institute of International Education’s Mobile Office (Branch) located at LG-Posco Business Hall (Room 201 Career Center) More information about the IIE can be found at: http://iie.korea.ac.kr International Summer Campus (ISC) The International Summer Campus is designed to be an annual interdisciplinary program integrating both international and Korean perspectives and teaching methodologies. The presence of internationally renowned faculty from diverse fields offers an excellent opportunity for both faculty and students alike to participate in an intellectually dynamic environment. Specific course listings and tracks are given in Section II: International Summer Campus Programs (see below) II INTERNATIONAL SUMMER CAMPUS PROGRAMS Overview The International Summer Campus (ISC) offers students the opportunity to experience courses taught by an international faculty in English. By participating in the program, Korean students will broaden their educational experience and have a stronger appreciation for international studies. The ISC offers a range of 55 to 60 courses in six academic areas: Economics and Business, Political Science and Public Administration, Sociology and Cultural Studies, Humanities, Korean Studies and Korean language. Students may take up to three courses. The courses form components of specific tracks (essentially a mini-program). Students successfully completing three courses in a designated track may obtain a certificate in that track. Students may also propose their own individualized track, subject to approval by the IIE Administration. Students wishing to design their own track should speak to Ms. Unju Rah in room 126 in the International Studies Hall. Inquiries If you have any questions concerning the program during your lecture times at LG-Posco, please visit the Institute of International Education’s Mobile Office (Branch) located at LG-Posco Business Hall (Room 201 Career Center) instead of going to the headquarters at the International Affairs Hall (Room 126).

Although to some this may appear like a light load you should keep in mind that ISC is a six-week session and is equivalent in credit hours to a 16-week semester. Also, you will probably be involved in many extracurricular activities like the Cultural Workshops, field trips, and language exchange. So choose your courses with this in mind. Grading & Attendance Policies Student academic performance is assessed according to four different criteria: exams, assignments, attendance, and class participation. Korea University's academic regulations state that class attendance of at least 70% is required to earn a passing grade. Generally, course performance is graded on the following 100-point scale:
Add/Drop Procedures Students are allowed to drop and add courses only during the following designated period: June 24, 2004 (until midnight) However, dropping and adding courses is generally advised against during ISC because of its short duration. Since the courses are condensed, adding another course in the middle of the ISC Program results in a substantial amount of missed material covered in the class added. You should carefully check their course registration confirmation form for any mistakes and to see what classes you are officially registered to take. Note: If you did not originally take the Korean language placement test, you may not add a Korean language course. Withdrawing From Courses If you decide to withdraw from a course after June 28, you must out a course withdrawal form which can be obtained at the ISC office. Transcripts If you are not an auditor your transcript will also be sent to your home address and official school registrar's office (which you provided on your online application). More copies can be obtained at the ISC office. Dismissal Students engaging in academic misconduct, such as but not limited to cheating or plagiarism, are subject to dismissal from the program. Students may also be dismissed for behavior that tarnishes or undermines the integrity or reputation of the program, such as criminal or dishonorable behavior. III ARRIVAL Pre-Departure Visas Make sure you obtain any necessary visas before arriving in Korea. The IIE will send you the necessary documents upon your admittance to the program. Arrival Accessing Central Seoul For those visiting Korea for the first time, arrival can be daunting. However, the transportation system in Seoul is generally well-marked in English and Incheon International Airport has many English-speaking staff who can guide you to busses or taxis to downtown Seoul. Incheon International Airport (IIA) Taxis Korea has several taxi types: notably deluxe (black) and ordinary (gray). Regular taxis from the airport to downtown Seoul are approximately 50,000 ~ 60,000 Won. Regular taxi fares start from 1,600 Won and black deluxe cabs start at 3,600 Won. Incheon International Airport Limousines To Korea University: Immediately outside the ground floor of Incheon International Airport are 23 bus stops. Go to bus stop "6A 12B" where limousine bus #602 (5,500 won) will take you to Cheongryangni, a final destination and train station close to Korea University. Get off the Cheongryangni and take either a taxi or bus #38. The taxi fare from Cheongryangni is 2000 Won.

IV REGISTRATION & ORIENTATION Registration Day Procedures First of all, the International Summer Campus extends a warm welcome to you. Now that you are reading this, we assume that you have successfully found your way to LG-Posco Business Hall. What you need to do at this point is to register. Follow the directions posted. Step 1: Collect Student ID Pick up your student ID at the registration counter. We can't stress enough the importance to keep your student ID on you at all times to participate in school activities or use student facilities. For example, you need your student ID to borrow any book or reference material in any of the university libraries. * Make sure that all borrowed library material is returned before the graduation day; otherwise you are ineligible to participate in the graduation ceremony and no certificate will be issued until you are cleared.

VI KOREA UNIVERSITY FACILITIES Note: Refer to Korea University Visitor’s Guide (KUVG) International Studies Hall (KUVG #136) This 5-story building hosts both the Institute of International Education (IIE) in Room 126 and the Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS). The airy, modern building shares the first two floors with the adjacent 7-story Institute of Foreign Language Studies. The two-building complex contains two cafeterias on the first floor. The nearest station is Anam/Korea University Hospital (Line 6) Student Union Building (KUVG #109) This large white building includes an inexpensive cafeteria and hair salon (cost W3,000 for students) in the basement. The building also houses numerous student clubs and organizations. General Plaza Building (KUVG#140) Located immediately above the Korea University Subway Station (Line 6), this building hosts a number of shops, including the KU Bookstore, computer and electronics shop, florist, travel agency, optician, photography shop, mobile phone shop and fast-food restaurant. All shops are closed on Sunday. Post Office (KUVG #113) The Post Office is conveniently located near the General Student Division Building. The office sells various types of packaging and envelops. Hours are from 9:00 to 5:00 weekdays and 9:00 to 1:00 on Saturdays. Central Square This underground complex, located just beyond the main gate, contains a Popeye’s Fast Food outlet, a Korean fast food restaurant, convenience store, Internet room, university store and coffee shop. Libraries Korea University is home to several of the finest libraries in the country, providing a wealth of resources and support services to graduate as well as undergraduate students. In addition to specialized libraries (e.g. Law School), there are four main libraries: the Main Library (KUVG #116) and Graduate School Library (KUVG #112) located on the Main Campus, the Science Library (KUVG #216) on the Science Campus and the Medical Library (KUVG #303) at Korea University Hospital. Their combined holdings currently total over 1.4 million volumes and is expected to rise to two million volumes by the year 2005 As of March 1995, 80% of the libraries' works had been electronically catalogued on the University's AIMS system, which allows students to quickly and efficiently search for books and periodicals by author, subject or title. The AIMS system is supplemented by a CD-Net with sub-servers located on each campus. Students also are assisted by expert library personnel in the reference, circulation and other library departments. Specialized libraries include the United Nations Depository Library, with over 320,000 volumes and periodicals published by various U.N. organizations, plus journals published by the OECD. The European Union Literature Center houses studies and other materials published by the EC and serves as a resource for research on the EC and European unification. VII DAILY LIFE Eating If you stay at the international dormitory meals are provided if so desired. In addition, there are many on-campus student cafeterias offering a variety of Korean food at a fraction of the cost offered off-campus. These cafeterias are located in the Student Union Building (basement and 1st floor), Alumni Building (basement), and Science Library. During your stay here in Korea you will probably have numerous opportunities to eat out. Seoul offers many establishments offering international cuisine. But if you want the full Korean experience, you shouldn't miss out on traditional Korean food. Because of the sheer variety of Korean food offerings, it's hard to list them all. Some favorites are kalbi (marinated beef ribs), bulgogi (marinated beef), bibimbap (mixed vegetable and rice), chapchae (vegetable with vermicelli noodles), and jajangmien (vegetable and noodles in thick brown sauce). This is just the tip of the iceberg so go out, explore, and experience for yourself. Meal costs vary and typically, international cuisine costs more. Cost per Korean dish is usually between 3,000 won to 8,000 won. Finances Banking It is possible to open an account with Hana Bank on campus. In order to open an account you will need your passport and a nominal amount of money (5,000 won). You may also apply for an ATM card as well. Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) ATMs are located at various points on campus (IFLS, campus bank branch, etc) and at almost every bank branch around the city. Most have an English-language menu (those that do not can be frustrating).

The nearest subway station is Hoeh-yon (Line 4). Insadong Centrally located just north of Chongno in the center of Seoul, Insadong hosts many boutiques selling traditional Korean crafts. The street itself is bustling with activity as it is closed to traffic. Traditional objects ranging from prints and ceramics to furniture are on sale. The nearest station is Anguk (Line 3). Itaewon For those seeking the comforts of home, Itaewon is the place. Leather goods, luggage, souvenirs of all sorts and unusual esoterica, western-style restaurants, etc., can all be found here. The nearest station is Itaewon (Line 6). Seoul City Attractions Though it is a bustling modern city with a population of over 11 million, Seoul is also the repository of more than 600 years of Korean culture. The most resplendent testaments to Seoul's cultural heritage are the large and small palaces that dot the city. Kyongbok-kung, National Folklore Museum &National Museum Located at the northern strip of Sejong-ro (the main avenue running through the center of the city), Kyongbok-kung was the largest palace of the Choson Dynasty. The 40-acre palace complex is divided into a formal section and a separate area for living and leisure. The largest and most imposing palace building, Kunjong-jon served as the throne chamber and audience hall, the site of important state ceremonies. The palace's informal structures center on Kyonghoe-ru, a unique pavilion overlooking a graceful lotus pond. The palace is surrounded by a covered stone wall and four gates. Today the eastern and southern parts of the palace are used to house the National Folklore Museum and the National Museum respectively. Here, in Korea's largest museums, 5,000 years of culture and art can be experienced. The palace is worth a full-day's visit. Toksu-kung and Modern Art Gallery Toksu-kung was built as a royal villa early in the Choson Dynasty. The palace survived the Hideyoshi Invasion in 1592. Among the palaces in Seoul, Toksu-Kung has the only Western-style building, called "Sokjo-jon," currently used as a modern art gallery. The palace complex is dotted with interesting structures. This palace is worth a half-day or one-day visit, depending on your interest in contemporary art. Changkyong-kung Ch'angkyong-kung was recently restored to the full glory and beauty of the Choson Dynasty architecture and landscaping. Nearby is another attraction, the Taehang-no or "College Street" (see below). The area is worth a half-day to one-day visit. University Quarters Among famous university "quarters" are Sinchon and Taehang-no. Ewha Womans, Yonsei, Seokang, and Hongik universities are all located in the Sinchon area. Catering to students of these four universities the area has developed a distinct flavor. The area is known for its variety of shops, restaurants, and drama centers well-tuned to the preferences of the younger generation. Always crowded with young people, it leaves on both visitors and natives the image of a jovial feast. But it is also the place where students' anti-government demonstrations occur most frequently. Subway Line 2 goes through Sinchon and Edaeap (front of Ewha Womans University) stations and Bus No. "7" goes from Korea University to Sinchon. Taehang-no or "College Street" got its name because the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences of Seoul National University had been there until 1975. On weekends the street is closed to motor traffic and becomes the stage for various cultural activities. The street has lots of exhibitions, drama centers, restaurants and shops. Subway Line 4 goes through Hyewha station, which is very close to the street. A newly emerging university quarter is just a 20-minute walk from Korea University. The area around Songshin Women's University and Hansong College offers a variety of restaurants, cafes, etc. It is developing into a small Sinchon. If interested, ask the resident tutors for directions. Myongdong and Namsan What Myongdong is to Seoul is what Ginza is to Tokyo. As one writer puts, its "magical magnetism" is "multidimensional." For more information, read Gary Rector's "Multidimensional Myongdong" included in the tour guide package. Near Myongdong stands Namsan, the pine-clad mountain park. The peak of Namsan, 265 meters above the sea level, can be reached by cable car or the two-lane road winding up the slopes. On the peak commanding a panoramic view of the city in all directions are an octagonal pavilion and 236-meter high Seoul Tower, which serves as a radio transmission point and an observation room for tourists. Korea House (http://koreahouse.or.kr) For people who want to take home memories of authentic Korean food and a traditional show but rather short of time, the most ideal place to visit is the Korea House (Address: 80-2 P'ildong 2-ga; Tel: 2266-9101). Korea House is noted particularly for its Korean meals, music, and dance. Here the visitors sample a little bit of almost everything in the traditional Korean performing and culinary arts. The National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts (http://www.ncktpa.go.kr) This national institution (Address: 700 Soch'o-dong, Soch'o-gu; Tel: 580-3333) may be the best place to sample authentic Korean traditional music and dance. The July performances are scheduled on Saturdays.
(http://www.lotteworld.com) Tel: 411-2000 This huge complex located in the southeastern part of Seoul is composed of department store, a tourist hotel, a large supermarket, a large shopping mall, a roofed miniature of "Disney World," and sports facilities. Seoul Grand Park (http://grandpark.seoul.go.kr) The expansive Seoul Grand Park is located at the foot of Mt. Ch'onggye in the southern outskirts of Seoul. The 6.4 million square-meter wide park is a major recreational attraction of the city. The complex includes a zoological garden, a botanical garden, the National Museum of Contemporary Art, an amusement park, and other facilities.
