- [2026 YISS] How to Get Your Official Transcript
- 2026 YISS · NOTICE How to Get Your Official Transcript This notice explains how to obtain your official transcript. It applies to all 2026 YISS students — both 4-week and 6-week courses. There are three ways to get your transcript. Before you choose, ask your home institution what they accept — that decides which option you need. Option What You Get Fee 1. Self-Download You download and print it yourself Free 2. Electronic Official PDF emailed to your institution KRW 3,000 3. Hard Copy Printed transcript shipped via DHL KRW 60,000 per destination I. When Your Transcript Becomes Available Whichever option you choose, your transcript can only be issued after your final grades are confirmed. Courses You Took Transcript Available From 4-week courses only Grades confirmed July 30 (Thu) July 31 (Fri), 2026 Already available now One or more 6-week courses Grades confirmed August 13 (Thu) August 14 (Fri), 2026 Not yet available Took both 4-week and 6-week courses? The August 14 (Fri), 2026 date applies to you — not July 31. Your 6-week grades must be confirmed first. II. Option 1 — Self-Download (Free) You can download your official transcript directly from the Yonsei Portal at any time — no request or fee required. Check before you use this option. Some institutions do not accept self-downloaded transcripts. Please check with your home institution whether they require a transcript sent directly through an official system. If they do, use Option 2 or Option 3 below. How to download Step 1. Log in to the Yonsei Portal — portal.yonsei.ac.kr Step 2. Change the language to ENG (top right corner) Step 3. Go to 'Academic Information System' > 'Grades' > 'Exchange Student Grades' Step 4. Your transcript is displayed — save it as a PDF or print it out Cannot log in? Reset your password using the [RESET PW for SAY/YISS/WAY] button on the log-in page of the Yonsei Portal. III. Option 2 — Electronic Transcript Sent to Your Institution (KRW 3,000) If your home institution requires a verified transcript sent through an official channel, you can send it directly via the Yonsei Portal's certificate issuance system. This service is available for all SAY, YISS, and WAY students. The portal screens involve several extra steps. Follow the full guide with screenshots before you start: View the full Digital Copy Guide Type Delivery Method Fee Electronic Official PDF sent via email through the Yonsei Portal system KRW 3,000 How to send Step 1.

Ask your home institution one question: do you accept a transcript I download myself, or does it have to come directly from Yonsei? • Accepts a self-downloaded copy → Option 1 (free, immediate) • Must come from Yonsei, electronic is fine → Option 2 (KRW 3,000, link sent via email) • Must be a physical printed document → Option 3 (KRW 60,000, DHL) Questions?

It's your first chance to meet new friends, feel the Yonsei spirit, and get excited about the unforgettable summer ahead. YISS Shuttle Bus A free shuttle bus runs for YISS students, connecting the dormitories and the main campus. Use it for an easy commute to and from class. Before you ride: Please arrive at the bus stop a few minutes early. The shuttle may depart up to 5 minutes ahead of or behind schedule, and it cannot wait for late arrivals. View Full Shuttle Bus Schedule → 2 Entry Documentation Must-Have Items (Carry On You) These items must be completed and/or obtained prior to departure and carried on you: Your passport valid for at least 6 months after the program end date Copy of your acceptance letter from Yonsei University Paper with typed housing address on it Tip: Pack these items in your personal/carry-on bag so you can always easily access them. Make extra copies to leave with a family member or friend you trust. e-Arrival Card (Complete Before Departure) As of 2026, Korea has transitioned to a digital-first entry system. The e-Arrival Card is an online entry declaration form that replaces the traditional paper arrival card previously filled out on the airplane. We strongly recommend all students complete the e-Arrival Card before departure. Starting 3 days prior to entry, you can submit your e-Arrival Card through the official government website. This is completely cost-free. The form requires: e-mail address, passport information, travel information, address in Korea, etc. Submit e-Arrival Card (Official Gov. Site) → Health Entry Requirements (Q-CODE) ⚠ Please Note: These requirements may be extended to additional travelers at any time. It is important that all students review this information prior to travel. On December 30, 2025, the Republic of Korea (ROK) government updated its list of locations from which travelers require an electronic Q-CODE or paper health declaration form when entering South Korea. Travelers who have visited, stayed, or transited through certain regions — including the U.S. states of New Mexico, Washington, and California — must submit a new Q-CODE or health declaration form each time they enter South Korea. Review Full List of Locations (KDCA) → All other travelers are encouraged to register their travel and health information through the Quarantine Information Pre-entry System (Q-Code) before traveling to Korea to streamline the airport arrival process. Submit Q-CODE → Disclaimer: This information is current as of May 1, 2026, but is subject to change at any time without warning. It is your responsibility to ensure that you adhere to all requirements and stay current with any changes. 3 Pre-Departure Checklist Book your flight and check your arrival date Apply for a visa if required (depending on your nationality) Make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months Complete e-Arrival Card at e-arrivalcard.go.kr Submit Q-CODE if required for your travel route Check your housing address and check-in instructions Bring some cash (KRW) or an international debit/credit card Notify your bank of international travel to avoid card blocks Share your itinerary with family or friends ⚠ Important: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date! 4 Transportation from Incheon Airport to Seoul Arrival Information General Arrival Guide: Airport Guide Public Transportation: Transportation Options 1.

Can I arrive after the program starts? We recommend arriving before orientation on June 26, or by June 29 at the latest. Being on time is important for attendance and your overall experience. 2. Do I have to report my flight details to the YISS Office? No reporting is required. You're free to book and plan your arrival as it suits you — just make sure to arrive before the program begins. 3. What are housing check-in documents? It depends on your accommodation type. For YISS dormitories, check directly with the dorm office. For off-campus housing, ask your host or provider what's required. 4. Do I need to buy my own travel insurance? No need! YISS provides health insurance coverage for all enrolled students during the program. See the "Health & Insurance" section for more info. 5. Do I need to exchange money before arriving? Cash is rarely used in Korea. Bring a small amount of Korean won for emergencies, but most places accept international debit/credit cards. 6. How much money should I bring for staying in Korea? For 4-6 weeks, a budget around 800,000-1,500,000 KRW ($700-$1,200 USD) will be suitable, depending on your lifestyle. 7. Can I use my SIM card from home in Korea? Check with your provider first. Most students use prepaid SIMs, eSIMs, or rent pocket Wi-Fi at the airport. 8. What should I wear in Korea during summer? Korea has hot and humid weather (28-33°C / 82-91°F). Bring light, breathable clothes and a thin jacket for indoor A/C. 9. Will I get a student ID and YISS T-shirt? Yes! After the orientation on June 26, you'll receive your YISS student ID and a YISS T-shirt at the Information Desk in Baekyang Nuri. Don't miss it! Please note: internship students will receive theirs on their Internship Orientation date, and CIEE and UCEAP students will receive theirs separately. 10. I'm arriving on June 29 and will miss orientation. Can I still get my student ID and gifts? If you miss orientation, you can find all the details in the Student Handbook on the YISS website.
