-  Learning support program for management of academic warnings (low GPA)

-  Participate in programs in levels 1-4 during the semester

-  Upon the program completion, the academic probation process is withheld for one semester by the "Department of Academic Probation and Accumulation of Low Grades

*   If the academic probation was withheld 3 times in a row or a total of 4 times, the student becomes a subject for academic probation

*   Program completion is possible multiple times, but in the system, it will be counted as one time during enrollment

Foreign students who are subject to academic probation from the previous semester (2022 Fall Semester), and any student who received an academic warning and have TOPIK level 3 or lower.
