Payments

Prices are in Korean Won (KRW).
The rates and discounts are subject to change without prior notice due to currency fluctuations.
In cases where additional charges or refunds need to be settled on-site, the settlement can be made in Korean Won (KRW) based on the fixed exchange rate designated by the school. Please note that market exchange rates are not applied on campus.
Courses and accommodations are not secured until payment after invoice issuance, and reservations are completed in order of payment confirmation. Therefore, it is recommended to make a quick deposit as the course may end or the room may be full.
Even if a student submits an application after consultation, there may be changes to the class or accommodation status before payment, and we cannot guarantee that the class or accommodation will be confirmed before payment. If there are any changes after payment, the staff will inform the student.
In the event of delayed tuition fee payment, the student’s reservations for classes, accommodation, and pick-up services may be unavailable, and changes may occur.
The tuition fee payment deadline is within 7 days after the invoice is issued, based on the date of final payment received by the school, not the date of the wire transfer. Overseas bank transfers may take an average of 3-5 business days, and there may be delays in the processing by the recipient country and intermediary banks, so the student should directly confirm with the bank regarding this matter. We recommend using real-time payment methods such as WISE or PayPal.
Payments can be made by bank transfer, WISE, PayPal, or credit card. An extra 5% transaction fee and tax will be charged for PayPal or credit card. When making a PayPal payment, it is subject to a fixed exchange rate specified by RK.

In the case of bank transfers, a deficit may occur due to differences in exchange rates or bank commission fees. The surplus or deficit amount will be settled on campus upon arrival in Korea.
If the payment is completed after submitting the application, it will be considered an agreement to the RK Terms & Conditions.
If there is a shortfall, the payment must be completed within one week as of the start date. Failure to make the payment may result in difficulty attending the course.
When conducting transactions using exchange rates, the internal exchange rate set by the school will be followed to ensure convenience and prevent exchange rate risks.

Classes & Orientation

Classes

Depending on the level, students may be assigned to either morning classes or afternoon classes. Students cannot choose their class times, and class times will be announced in the notice one week before the admission date.
Courses run from Monday to Friday and are scheduled in the morning and/or afternoon depending on levels. RK reserves the right to change timetable structure. The classes may be held in various buildings outside the campus.
The course schedule may change depending on local circumstances. If you are unable to attend class due to personal schedules, RK is not responsible and students cannot request a refund or cancellation of tuition. It is recommended that you set your personal schedule after the course starts.
RK monthly curriculum for each level has a fixed schedule, and students must follow it. Various assessments, exclusive lessons, and activities may occur during classes depending on the starting date. It is important to note that RK cannot cater to individual requests for class content.
F.L classes are designed to provide a flexible and dynamic learning environment, differing from the structured morning courses. These classes may take place outside the traditional classroom setting and cover a wide range of topics, including creative and hands-on activities, to enhance students’ overall skills development. The location and content of S.F.L sessions may vary to support this flexible approach.
Outdoor classes may incur extra costs for transport and/or admission. All classes which include extra fees are optional and students may opt out if they choose not to pay the extra fees.
RK reserves the right to reduce the number of lessons in a class due to insufficient number of students.
During high season, the class size for each group may exceed 20
If students start the course in a week other than the first week of a month, you may be placed in an ongoing class.
If a student misses a group lesson, no make-up classes will be provided, nor will the course duration be extended.
All new students must attend the orientation. If a student enrolls on a different day due to personal reasons, a separate orientation will be conducted, and participation is mandatory.
On the first day, new students participate in orientation and class placement tests. There are no morning or afternoon classes on this day, and classes will begin the following day after class placement. No makeup classes are offered for Monday classes.
Orientation is held in the morning or afternoon depending on the number of new students. Information is provided in the first day guide information one week in advance.

Attendance & Test

RK requires that students maintain an attendance level of minimum of 80% to move to the next level and receive a program certificate or diploma. If attendance is below the required level, RK reserves the right to not advance a student and instead place him/her in the same level.
Students are assigned to a class through a preliminary online level test, and the class assignment is confirmed through an on-site speaking test (only if necessary) during the orientation on the day of admission. If students do not submit the online level test by the announced deadline or do not participate in the on-site speaking test for personal reasons, they may not be assigned to a class, and all responsibility for this lies with the student.
Students may request a level change from RK twice during the course period, and the level can be changed through a level test and interview with the instructor in charge. However, if there is no request from the student, RK is not responsible for dissatisfaction with the level from the previous class.
Regular tests for speaking, listening, and reading are held every month during class hours. Students must take the test according to the guidance of the instructor in charge. Depending on the level or class situation, the test execution time or content may vary.

Private Lessons

Private lesson cancellation is not available after payment.
Private lessons are dependent on availability of staff and classroom space and will be scheduled accordingly. These lessons can only be scheduled for afternoon hours.
There is a limited chance to change class hours or date. Private lessons can be changed once every 10 blocks.
In case of change, students must notify RK before 5 p.m. 2 days in advance of your lesson. Please be aware that modifications or cancellations on the day of the planned lesson will not be accepted under any circumstances. No refunds will be given if a student fails to attend class after the change deadline.
On the day of the lesson, it is not possible to change the lesson time, and if a student is late for the lesson, makeup lessons are not available.
Modifying or canceling classes on weekends or holidays is not possible. Notify RK by Friday 5 p.m. for Monday’s class.

Exceptions are made for One-to-One lessons, which will be made up. There is no refund for lessons missed due to a public holiday.
All published course start dates that fall on a Monday, however, if this day is a public holiday, the course will begin on the following day.
The annual public holidays are provided in the price brochure, and students must proceed with course registration after being aware of them. In cases where the schedule has not yet been determined, students will be deemed to agree to the lesson schedule being determined according to the public holidays of that year, and they may proceed with course registration.

Level

If you cannot read Korean, you must attend the class on the first week of every month. If it is difficult to adjust your schedule, you must study online in advance or register for a private lesson locally.
If you participate in the middle of the month, you may need additional study depending on the progress of the class. In this case, the student may need to study on his/her own or apply for a private lesson separately. Due to the level, it is not possible to cancel registration or request a refund.
RK determines students’ course levels based on their test results. Students enrolling 12 weeks or more are grouped together and may start at a specific level.
For Semester/Year students, the level promotion schedule for classes is predetermined, and all students are required to advance to the higher level according to this schedule. If a student’s academic performance is subpar and they fail to follow the guidance of instructors and staff, and consequently cannot meet the scheduled learning milestones, they may be moved to another appropriate level without their consent. If the criteria for promotion are not met, the student must either move to a suitable lower level or retake the same level.
Level changes are carried out every Monday, so requests may not be processed immediately.
A level test takes place during the class monthly. To qualify for an upgrade, a score of 80 points or higher must be attained. If you do not qualify for the next level, you may be required to repeat the current level.
When a class at RK has five or fewer students enrolled at the same course, we reserve the right to combine students from different levels into the same class.

Social Activities

The content and schedule of social activities are determined monthly based on local circumstances, and specific details will be provided on-site.
For students participating in afternoon classes, class times may overlap with activity times. In such cases, participation is optional and at the student’s discretion.
For activities, it is the student’s responsibility if any issues arise due to not following the guide’s instructions. All responsibility for any incidents, accidents, injuries, or damages that occur during social or external activities — whether inside or outside of RK premises — lies solely with the student. RK, its staff, and representatives shall not be held liable for any such occurrences, regardless of the cause or circumstance. By enrolling in or participating in any activity, the student acknowledges and agrees to assume full personal responsibility and waives any claims against RK arising from participation in said activities.
Transportation and meal costs for external activities are the responsibility of the student.
Students with food allergies must inform RK staff before every group meal or prepare appropriate food for themselves. If a student fails to do so and health issues arise, the student will be held responsible.
If a student has any health issues, it is recommended that they choose to participate in social activities that will not be harmful to their health. RK is not responsible for any health problems that may occur as a result.

According to the contents above, the RK instructor or staff in charge has the right to give individual attention to the student or make the student follow the regulations, and if the student does not follow the instructions, RK has the right to stop a student from taking a course or move them to another class.

RK is committed to supporting students to the best of our ability in accordance with our regulations to ensure their safety and a satisfactory study abroad experience. We expect students to interact with our caring staff respectfully when making inquiries and requests. Staff may decline unreasonable requests from students. If a student persistently makes demands beyond what is feasible for personal reasons (such as requesting refunds outside of policy, changes to schedules, or course modifications) or if such actions interfere with our operations, we reserve the right to dismiss the student from the program. In such cases, we are not obligated to provide services for the remaining period and no refunds will be provided.

Force Majeure

RK shall not be responsible for any failure to comply with any of its obligations if the failure is occasioned by any cause beyond RK’s reasonable control and despite the exercise of reasonable diligence and without incurring additional costs, cannot be prevented or avoided. Force majeure events shall include but shall not be limited to, act of government, war, threat of war, riot, civil strife, general labor disturbance, such as a boycott, strike, lockout, or ‘go slow’ directives’, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, unusually adverse weather conditions, closure of an RK, infectious diseases, viruses, plague, epidemic or pandemic health crises (caused by viruses such as Ebola, H1N1, H5N1, Zika, COVID-19, and other communicable diseases), or any action taken by a government or public authority, including prohibition of entry into a country or region of a country, promulgation of quarantine measures, ordering the “lockdown” of the whole or part of a country.
It is acknowledged that the epidemic health crisis in connection with COVID-19 and any related quarantine and actions of a governmental authority shall be considered a force majeure event for the purpose of these RK Terms and Conditions, even though the health crisis has arisen prior to the effective date.

Damage to Property

Students must pay the full cost of any damage they cause to property. Damage deposits may apply to certain accommodation options. These are payable upon arrival, or the first day of school. Identified special needs are affecting the student’s ability to participate, learn and achieve in an RK program and/or where the law requires us to do so.

Liability

RK and its staff and representatives will not be liable for loss, damage or injury to persons or property howsoever caused, except where liability is expressly imposed by law. RK will not be liable in the event that any service contracted to be supplied by RK becomes impossible to supply for any reason or any cause outside the control of RK.

Health Declaration

At the time of booking, it is recommended that students choose to disclose any mental or physical illness, allergy, disability or condition that may interfere with their ability to successfully complete their program, that may impact the wellbeing of any other student or staff member, that may require monitoring, treatment or emergency intervention during the student’s period of enrolment, or that may require special accommodation.
RK reserves the right to terminate a student’s enrolment if the student’s participation represents a risk to their, other students’ or staff members’ health and safety, or if, notwithstanding reasonable accommodations, in the opinion of RK, the student’s physical or mental condition makes the student unable to successfully complete their program. Refunds will be provided based on refund schedules as per terms and conditions.
All students registering with RK must sign a medical waiver. RK courses are intended for students who can engage in activities without physical or mental discomfort, and registration is only possible for students who agree that there may be limitations in course activities due to personal reasons, and that the responsibility lies with the student.
RK reserves the right to expel or repatriate students for health reasons, and in the event that a student wishes to cancel their enrollment for health reasons, it will be processed according to the general cancellation and refund policy with no exceptions, which the student agrees to.

Service Provision Agreement

Terms and Conditions

RK Terms and Conditions are updated every year. If the year changes during the course period, students will be subject to the updated terms and conditions and the schedule and content of the course may change. The current RK Terms and Conditions supersede any previous Terms and Conditions that were applicable at the time of student’s booking.
Upon submitting the application, the student is considered to have agreed to these Terms and Conditions, and it is the individual’s responsibility to familiarize themselves with the terms.
