Course Management |
|
* Note: The SNU Portal Services is a web-based system that extends the academic, administrative and interactive services of SNU to the online world. Through this system, faculty members can manage their classes: uploading syllabi, course evaluations, and grades. Unfortunately, the current system is only available in Korean. However, provided below is a guide to assist your utilization of the SNU Portal Services regardless of your proficiency in Korean. Upon additional language or technical difficulties consult your department’s administrative office to guide you through the system. Available there are the SNU Portal Services, as well as the Integrated Administrative System, another web-based system for faculty and administrative personnel, to provide you with the tools to manage your courses.
