{(GPA for the two semesters ago x No. of credits) + (GPA for the previous semester x No. of credits)}/ A total number of credits for the two semesters

8. Email domain address “hanmail.net” gets marked as spam often; thus please use a different email account. Email domain address “naver.com” cannot receive emails that are sent to more than 25 people; thereby you may not be able to receive emails sent by the host university. We highly recommend you to use a different email account. A portal email (korea.ac.kr) also can be marked as spam mail or is unable to access based on a country. There is a high chance that you may have to change your portal email to different one after the internal selection. Also, domain address “hotmail.com” sometimes blocks spam emails to certain universities.
Therefore, please use “gmail” as it is the safest email account for now. (If you need to check other emails from different account, use the import service to receive emails to your original account. Please use a gmail account while applying for the student exchange program).
