1. Can I get an official Letter of Admission?
- Once all your documents have been reviewed and approved, you will receive an email “Letter of Admission” with information regarding tuition payment and visa.
- If you need an official letter, after you pay your tuition and have completed every step, you will be able to access and download the letter under [Application Details] > [Application Status] on the WAY application system.
2. Does the course survey ensure my course registration? Do I have to take the course I signed up for on the application form?
- The course survey in the application is just to see students’ preferences/interests. It does NOT guarantee your course registration. All the courses must be enrolled during the official course registration period later on through the Yonsei Portal system. Detailed guidance on course registration will be provided to admitted students by email.
First Course Registration (Early Bird only): 2025 November 5, 10:00 KST – 2025 November 6, 17:00 KST
Second Course Registration (All students): 2025 December 3, 10:00 KST – 2025 December 4, 17:00 KST
3. Is it possible to take two morning classes or two afternoon classes?
- All morning classes are from 9:30-12:00 and afternoon classes are from 13:30-16:00, so it is impossible to take two during the same period, but you can take online courses.
Please refer to our Academic Information.
4. When can I get a refund until?
- We provide full refund until December 28, 2025 KST and no refund will be given as of December 30, 2025. Application fees are non-refundable.

- Our commencement ceremony is on Friday, January 16th, 2026 after classes, around 4:30pm. Students who wish to attend will be asked to RSVP in advance.
6. Do I need to apply separately for scholarships, or are they applied automatically?
- It depends on which scholarship you will receive. As mentioned on our website, the early bird promotion and APRU & AEARU scholarship will be automatically deducted from the tuition. Re-Enrollment Benefit will be applied to students who submitted their YISS/WAY student ID in the application. As for the Yonsei Alumni Scholarship, students will need to submit required documents through the application system. It will either be deducted from tuition or refunded if tuition is already paid.
- Scholarship information is available on our website: Scholarships.
Other scholarships or financial aid must be sought independently by the students.
**You can check the APRU scholarship under the “Promotion” section when paying your tuition fee.
If you are also eligible for the Early Bird benefit, it will be combined and displayed together with the Early Bird promotion amount.
If you receive the Yonsei Alumni scholarship, the amount will be reflected later under the “Scholarship” section in the [Tuition Payment] menu.
7. What kind of visa do I need? Can I enter with a K-ETA?
Visa requirements may vary depending on your nationality and the Embassy/Consulate where you apply. We strongly recommend that you check with the nearest Korean Embassy/Consulate in advance.
For detailed information on the visa application process (particularly the D-2-8 Short-Term Study Visa), please refer to our visa guidelines, which will become available once you are accepted into our program under the [Visa] > [Visa Application] menu.
