Room Type
Students will be asked to choose between double and single room as a part of the housing application process. When it comes to selecting the room type, it is important to note that availability is limited, and therefore, it is possible that you may not be assigned to the room type you chose during the application.
Preferences
Students are encouraged to leave their preferences on lower/higher floor, kitchen, roommates, and etc. in a comment section. It is essential to understand that due to limited resources, it may not be possible to accommodate all students' preferences.
Application Result and Payment
University Life and IGC Housing will announce the housing application result shortly after the end of the application period. The result announcement will sent to your university email address.
Students selected to live on campus for the term must log in to the IGC Housing website using their IGC account credentials and access My Page to check the following details;
- Approved room type (single or double)
- Payment process
Because IGC Housing only accepts domestic wire transfers, international students are allowed a grace period of 2 months after moving in to complete their payment. IGC Housing will send out payment instructions shortly after check-in. Once you have payment information for the IGC, follow one of the methods below to complete the housing payment.
Method 1: Creating a Bank Account
This is the method especially recommended for students planning on staying in Mason Korea longer than one semester. If you choose to create a bank account, you must visit a local bank near campus with the following legal documents:
- Passport
- Alien Registration Card or Certificate of Alien Registration
- Certificate of Enrollment (issued by the MK Academic Affairs office)
- Proof of Residency (issued by IGC Housing)
Once you have created your bank account, you may pay your required housing fee amount through wire transfer. You will need the following additional documents to make the remittance.
- Housing Fee either in cash or deposited to your IBK account
- Housing Virtual IBK Bank Account Number (issued by IGC Housing)
Method 2: Without a Bank Account
This is the method recommended for students staying not more than a semester in Mason Korea. Due to various complications and limitations in banking for international students in Korea, we recommend short-term students paying for housing using cash without creating a bank account in Korea.
If you choose not to create a bank account, you can withdraw cash with your international credit card. The most accepted credit cards in Korea are Mastercard and Visa. You can also use one of Korea's Western Unions prior to your arrival in Korea to access cash from your international bank and pick up cash upon arriving. The closest WU branch to campus is Industrial Bank of Korea (IBK).
Once you have withdrawn your required housing fee amount in cash to the bank and make your payment there. You will need the following documents to make the remittance.
- Passport
- Certificate of Enrollment (issued by the MK Academic Affairs office)
- Proof of Residency (issued by IGC Housing)
- Housing Fee in cash
- Housing Virtual IBK Bank Account Number (issued by IGC Housing)
