Once you have received the nomination from MIX, you are able to apply to Yonsei Unversity. Yonsei will send an email with your log-in information and a link to the application. Like the MIX application, the Yonsei application is straightforward.
For the most part, the Yonsei application is very simple. Some issues that you may come across are the Photo ID, transcript and health insurance document. Photo ID: The application requires you to upload a picture that will be used for your student ID. It has pretty strict requirements like your ears must be showing, must be a certain size, etc. Just make sure to follow these requirements and you should be good! Transcript: You will be required to attach an official transcript for your application. To get this, you must put in a request at QLC. Once received, open the envelope and scan it in (Usually, we are told to not open the envelop as it can show that it has been tampered with, but it is okay to open it).
If you study abroad, you will have to get health insurance. However, I did not want to buy it until I had full confirmation that I got accepted to study abroad by Yonsei. Because of this, I talked to Kathy from MIX and she let me know that all I had to do was write "Health insurance to be provided upon admission" in a word doc and submit that. After getting accepted by Yonsei and buying insurance, I then uploaded my official health insurance letter. IMPORTANT: I will be mentioning this a lot during my pre-departure section but it doesn't hurt to reiterate it. deadlines, Deadlines, DEADLINES.
Till next time!

Before you even start applying, you first need to figure out which program you would like to study abroad with. At UHM, there are two international exchange options: Study Abroad Center and Manoa International Exchange (MIX). Personally, I decided to study abroad through MIX, mainly due to them offering study abroad in South Korea. Regardless, both are great options, it just depends on which program suits your needs the best.
Here are links for the two: Study Abroad Center: www.studyabroad.hawaii.edu/ Manoa International Exchange: http://manoa.hawaii.edu/mix/ Once you decide which program you would like to participate in, you will have to apply to it. The MIX application is very straightforward and simple. All you need to do is fill out a MIX application online. You can find more information and the application here. Once you submit your application, and are nominated, then you will be able to apply to your school. Tips for applying: 1. DEADLINES
2. RECOMMENDATION LETTER
