The petition must be approved by SUNY Korea with consultation of the relevant SBU office (by
end of March). When students are out of sequence due to such delay, the university cannot
guarantee the offering of adequate courses for their extra semesters in Korea before their visit to
SBU. Students under exception are strongly encouraged to consult with the staff of the
Academic and Student Affairs.
3. Students, after appropriate approval, will receive an I-20 from SBU for the application of the U.S.
