Examinations may take various forms, including regular (scheduled) examinations and in-class examinations. For regular examinations conducted during the official examination period, the schedule and other information will be announced via K-Support. For in-class examinations, please check with the course instructor directly.

Semester-end examinations are held at the end of each half semester or semester. Refer to the academic calendar for the examination period. Please note that the day, time, classroom, and other details of the examination may differ from those of the regular class schedule.

Examination Timetable

Students can check their exam schedules at SFC on K-Support after the examination timetable is announced.

Students need to contact the Office of Student Services (Academic Affairs) at least one month in advance if they have any requests to take examinations for some reasons like health problems.
