So when you have fully paid for your housing account and have given your health insurance evidence to Yonsei, they will send you an email saying that your enrollment has been completed. In this email, they will give you your student ID number. The student ID number is different from the initial admission number (SAY****) that was given to you for making an account for the housing application. Now if you have your student ID number, you can then log-in to the Yonsei portal web. The password for your Yonsei portal account will be your date of birth written in this form: YYMMDD

Take note that Yonsei has advised students to use Internet Explorer when doing the course registration. Apparently, the web page doesn't work well with Chrome, Safari and Firefox. Being the good follower I am, I used Internet Explorer to apply for my courses to avoid mishaps during the application period.
Just like the housing application, the course registration for classes is also very competitive. All of the classes in Yonsei will have a maximum amount of students that it can take. If you are late applying to a subject, then you will be put on a waiting list. The waiting list flow will be dependent on two things: other students dropping out or you personally asking the professor on the first day of class to remove you from the waiting list and register you for the class. I don't know the chances of you getting into the class if you've been placed in a waiting list, but just make sure to register for your classes on the day the course registration opens.
Pro tips:
- You can check the different courses available for the semester at the Yonsei portal under "Course Catalogue and Syllabus: Undergraduate and Graduate". This is the one that I drew a red outline on from the photo above. When you click that, another web page will pop out (pic below). It's pretty easy to manoeuvre so go ahead and search up your desired subjects.
- When you're searching up for the courses, there are three things that you need to watch out for: #1 the Purple boxed arrow which will contain the course information of that subject, #2 the time in which that subject occurs (just in case it clashes with your other desired subject) and #3 make sure that the reference doesn't have a "©: Offered at the International Campus" because that course is on a different campus and not in Sinchon.
- You are only allowed to take three business courses per semester. The course code for business courses starts with BIZ****
- An hour before the course registration period opens, log-in to the Yonsei portal and make a wishlist for all the courses you want to take. This will make it easy and fast for you when you're actually applying for the courses. To make a wishlist, click on the "Undergraduate Course Enrolment" which I outlined in blue from the photo above. Click on your desired course and add to wishlist.
The bidding system for course registration:
The bidding process for course registration slightly confused me considering that it wasn't a topic that many people talked about. Once you get your head around it, it's actually pretty straightforward. First of all, you must click the "Undergraduate Course Enrolment" from the Yonsei portal page and log-in to your account. Assuming that you have made a wish list, you can then, during the course registration period, assign "miles" to each subject that you have. Undergraduate students are given "72 miles" to distribute to the number of courses they're taking.
For example, I wanted to take four courses at Yonsei, so that's 72 miles ÷ 4 subject = 18 miles for each subject. So I distributed these "18 miles" to each of my subjects. You can bid between 1 to 36 miles for each subject. You can bid higher if that course is something that you must take, or if it's a really popular course and has got a low number of students it can take. For me, I distributed my miles equally because all the subjects I'm talking had the same importance and the max students for each class were quiet decent. You must make sure that the overall miles you allocated add up to 72 otherwise your whole course registration will not be valid.
A day or two after the course registration period ends, the result will be posted. You know you've been accepted to a course when it shows up under the "Confirmed List" row, but if not, it will be under the "Waiting List" row.
So that's pretty much it. If there are things that I missed feel free to ask me questions.
Until then,
