Please review the following information if you are writing a thesis.

1. Deadline for Submitting Theses: May 4 (Thursday), 2006

Please submit your thesis to your thesis supervisor prior to the deadline above. Once your thesis supervisor has approved your work, please submit it to Ms. Hye-Jung YANG (yhj@kdischool.ac.kr), in accordance with the following specifications:


2. Items to Submit:

3. For International Students not currently in Korea,

- Certain situations may prevent you from directly submitting your thesis to the Academic Affairs Office. In these cases, students are encouraged to consult with their thesis supervisor. If possible, it may be best to ask your supervisor to sign and submit the recommendation form to Academic Affairs on your behalf.

- If it is impossible for you to submit 3 hardcopies of the thesis, send me an e-mail and attach the thesis. I will make the 3 copies. However, this option is only open to those who are abroad and have extended difficulties in regular submission. Also, you should only send me a finished copy of your thesis after sufficiently consulting with your thesis supervisor.
