  ▶ Required Documents

※Note2: Submit Thesis Draft (Additional Notice - Please Be Sure to Read Carefully!!)

  1) If you are able to submit your draft to the Administrative Office within the application period

    - Once a student submits their draft to the Administrative Office, the office will forward it directly to the committee members. However, please note that the Administrative Office will not forward the draft to the advisor; therefore, the student must submit the draft for review to their advisor directly.

  2) If you are unable to submit your draft to the Administrative Office within the application period

    - The student must directly coordinate a submission deadline with the committee members, complete the "심사용 논문제출 확인서" form (see attached file), and submit it to the Administrative Office within the application period

    - When submitting the draft at a later date, there is no need to submit it to the Administrative Office; students must deliver the draft directly to the committee members, including the advisor.
      (Students should discuss with the professors whether to deliver the thesis in person or via email.)

    - Students must submit it well in advance of the deadline for the committee members to enter their evaluation results, taking into account the time required for the review process. If the draft is submitted close to the deadline for entering evaluation results, the review may not proceed due to insufficient time, and in such cases, the thesis may be deemed unsuccessful.
