Important information if you wish to apply to Korean universities or reapply to the UK and USA once you have graduated from NLCS Jeju.

Students accepting a place at a university in another country will not subsequently be supported with applications to Korean Universities.

Students wishing to re apply to university again, once they have graduated from NLCS Jeju, must contact their UGC by September after graduation from NLCS Jeju.

For the UK, students reapply as an independent applicant. The application is not linked to the school. UGC provides references upon request from UCAS.

For the USA, UGC provides the final transcript and copies of Teacher and Counsellor Letters of Recommendation if these were previously requested and are stored on file. It is important to contact UGC early in the application cycle (September) so that new Cialfo accounts can be created in good time.
