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 your nominated students' names, dates of birth, gender, and email addresses.
Our system will then generate an ID and password for each of your students and send emails to the addresses you provided.
*Please be careful when inputting students’ birth dates as those will be used as passwords for your 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 in 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, one for CONASEP.
CONASEP accounts will always begin with CO-XXXXXXX.
No slots available?
Send us an email to exchange@hufs.ac.kr so we can fix it for you.
STEP 4 - Have STUDENTS APPLY
Student Applications
HUFS Online Portal: https://wis.hufs.ac.kr/src08/jsp/fexchange/index.html
Students complete their online applications by October 30/April 30 using the login ID and PW (their birthdate in YYYYMMDD format) generated by our online application system from your nominations.
Send them our Student Application Tutorial Video
STEP 5 - Have students Submit Requred DOCUMENTS
Google Form Document Submission: https://forms.gle/UaGHn9AgJhRCU8dn9
- Demo Video
We have developed a new document submission method using Google Forms where we are asking students to provide some basic information in addition to their documents. Please review our video tutorial where we demonstrate what this process looks like, and how easy it is. Many of our students and partners already use Google Suites at their institutions or have personal Google Accounts so we believe there should be minimal disruption to your outbound support in this regard.
If students cannot make a Google Account easily (e.g., students in China), please have them fill out this form but skip the document submission portion- these can be emailed to us: exchange@hufs.ac.kr.
STEP 6 - Receive AdmissioNs/Visa Package
Processing
