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.

I. When Your Transcript Becomes Available

Whichever option you choose, your transcript can only be issued after your final grades are confirmed.

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.

How to send
Step 1. Log in to the Yonsei Portal — portal.yonsei.ac.kr
Step 2. Go to 'IT SERVICE' > 'Online Transcripts & Certificates'
Step 3. Select 'ELECTRONIC CERTIFICATE (PDF File)' and issue the certificate
Step 4. Complete payment (KRW 3,000)
Step 5. Go to 'Unissued' > 'Email Transmission' and send it to your institution

IV. Option 3 — Printed Hard Copy Shipped by DHL (KRW 60,000)

If you need a printed transcript mailed to an address, use the request form. Choose this option only if your home institution requires a physical document — if an electronic copy is accepted, Option 2 costs far less and involves no shipping.

Additional copies to the same address: +KRW 1,000 per copy.
Example: 3 copies to one address = KRW 60,000 + KRW 2,000 = KRW 62,000.

How to submit a request
Step 1. Click the 'Request Form' tab and log in with your Yonsei Portal credentials  (https://oia.yonsei.ac.kr/inbound.php?mid=m03_10)
Step 2. Select 'Hard Copy' and enter the recipient information
Step 3. Click 'Submit'
Step 4. Complete payment via Flywire — the payment button appears on the Request Status page

Recipient information you will need
• Recipient name
• Mailing address (street, city, state or province, and postal or ZIP code)
• Country
• Phone number (include the country code for international numbers)

Sending to more than one institution?
Submit a separate request for each recipient. The reduced fee for additional copies applies only when the copies go to the same address.

Not sure which option to choose?
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)
