3. Students not dual concentrating should ask an advisor if they need an additional elective credit to
meet minimum credit requirements for graduation.
4. Students are unable to fulfill HUB units through courses taken at Seoul National University.
5. IS concentrators should discuss their course plan with the IS concentration faculty advisor if it
