STEP 3 - NomiNATE STUDENTS
Nominations
Nominate your students through the HUFS Online Portal: https://wis.hufs.ac.kr/src08/jsp/fexchange/index.html
First time?
Please read our Online Nomination System Guideline's Portal Instructions.
Enter the information (names, dates of birth, gender, and email addresses) of nominated student(s).
An email containing students' ID and password will be sent to all nominated students privately by email.
*Please be careful when inputting students’ birth dates as those will be used as passwords for students’ online applications.
Please enter email addresses in two steps: [email name] @ [email identifier]. This is a somewhat old way of collecting email address information in Korea and we know it is not common elsewhere. However, if you combine them as is customary elsewhere, students will not get an automatically generated email with directions and login information.
If your university doesn't appear on the online portal, this is likely because you are a relatively new partner and have not sent students to us before. Please contact us so we can activate your account.
In certain cases, your university may have two accounts: one for a bilateral agreement, and one for CONASEP.
CONASEP accounts will always begin with CO-XXXXXXX.
