SNU Gwanak Residence Halls Undergraduate Dormitory

Changes in 2019

□ Changes in Changes in selection method and standard for undergraduate

students

A. Background of the change

Until 2018, Gwanak Student Dormitory has been selecting undergraduate students
by the method; to randomly select freshmen, and to delegate each department to
select existing undergraduate students. Since the issue of selection criteria
disclosure and equity have been raised, we have set standards for selection criteria
for undergraduate students which is fair and transparent.

B. Changes

• Enlarged types of priority groups

• Enlarged location of parents’ for application
• Set integrated standards and discolse the criteria
