   （５） Notes
   • The screening will be based on academic performance and household status up to the previous semester, so the screening results may differ for each period. In addition, since the reduction of taxes is carried out within the limited budget, it may not be exempted even if the examination criteria are met.
   • The application qualifications and application procedures for the spring semester at the time of enrollment (1st year) are different from the above (excluding international students). Details will be announced via e-mail, bulletin board, website, etc.
