Students of Chinese origin will be provided with a Certificate of Visa Issuance (CVI). For detailed information about the visa issuance, please refer to the “Visa” section above.
Prior to the international students’ arrival at POSTECH, an e-mail which contains important announcements for the program, such as check-in/check-out dates, housing fee, and orientation information, will be sent to the students including the following following documents:
1. Pre-Arrival Survey for International Students
2. Housing and Insurance Information
3. Guidebook
4. Medical Clearance Form (for international graduate students only)
These documents are required to be submitted prior to their arrival at POSTECH, approximately three weeks before their arrival for the smooth preparation for the program and their arrival.
All international students will automatically be assigned to the on-campus accommodation at POSTECH close to your arrival date. For research exchange/visiting students, they will also receive an e-mail introducing their lab mentor at least one week prior to their arrival date. Assigned lab mentors will help them check into the dormitory/graduate apartment upon their arrival at POSTECH. Detailed information about the on-campus accommodation and lab mentor can be found on “Upon Arrival.”
