1. Overview
A. Purpose: To establish detailed standards for issuing the Certificate of Admission (CoA) required for issuance of a student visa (D-2)
 

* In case of returning students, issuance is allowed only for students whose study period remains at the time of application for Return to School after a Leave of Absence
** In case of Research students (those who have completed taking course credits but registered for an extra semester), issuance is allowed only for students who entered bachelor’s up to 6 years, master’s up to 5 years, and doctoral’s up to 7 years from admission
B. Reason for Change: Previously, a Certificate of Admission is not issued to Research Students based on the answers from Immigration Office that allows them to enter the country with a short-term visa (C-3). However, Immigration Office confirmed that it is acceptable to issue it if setting the study period on the CoA for 6 months
