Pre-Registration of Preferred Courses

• The Pre-Registration of Preferred Courses system allows students to register their preferred courses at any time during the designated pre-registration period, up to the maximum number of credits they are eligible to enroll in. If the number of students who pre-register a course is less than or equal to the enrollment cap (quota) set by year level or for the overall course, all students will be enrolled in the course. If the number of pre-registrations exceeds the quota, only 20% of the quota (by year level or overall) will be enrolled through a priority-based lottery. Accordingly, if some courses are successfully enrolled in advance during this period, the number of courses that must be applied for during the main course registration period may decrease, which can help reduce the burden of course registration. The Pre-Registration of Preferred Courses period is generally held in early February for the spring semester and in early August for the fall semester.

• First-year students participate in Pre-Registration of Preferred Courses starting from their second semester after admission.

  (For the first semester, newly admitted students may register for courses beginning with the new student course registration period in late February/late August.)
