Grades & Transcript
  • As Korean Language courses are offered by an auxiliary organization within HYU ERICA, grades are only available as a form of physical transcript, not through HY-in portal. The scanned copy of the Korean course transcript will be sent to your home university coordinator and to you with the transcript of regular courses. Note Korean courses do NOT have their own course code, either.
  • The maximum number of credits students can take per semester is 20, and we acknowledge your Korean Language credits as a part of this limit.
  • You should also check if credits earned from Korean language courses are recognized by your home university.
