IGC Housing has two residence hall buildings that are divided by room type, single and double, and shared by students from all universities located at the IGC campus.
To ensure the safety and privacy of our residents, IGC Housing is gender-segregated. Each floor/wing is designated for either males or females, and we strictly prohibit entry into areas designated for the opposite gender, in accordance with IGC regulations.
The typical residency period is 15 - 17 weeks, and the rate for a single room is approximately KRW 1,900,000, while a double room costs KRW 1,200,000 per person.

We want to ensure that our residents feel comfortable and supported throughout their stay, so we carefully select students who will positively contribute to our community. If you would like to know more resident selection process, please read the following paragraph.
First-semester students will automatically be given a residency.
For continuing students, selection for IGC Housing is primarily based on the distance of applicants' residences from the campus and student classification, giving higher priority to those living farther from campus and lower-class students.
To confirm their address, all applicants must submit the required documents as per the guidelines outlined below:
Applicants will then be assigned to one of the 14 priority groups listed in the table below. Priority is assigned based on these groups, with Group 1 having the highest priority. Students in higher priority groups will be given a residency first. In case of multiple applicants within the same priority group, early applicants will be given preference.

About 4-5 weeks before the semester starts, you will receive information about submitting your check-in application online. This application will allow you to share your preferences on roommate, floor, and room type (single or double) as well as inform you of when you can check in to the IGC Housing. The actual check-in is typically available 5-7 days before the start of the semester.
In general, you are required to complete the payment during the check-in application or shortly after. You can check payment instructions on your check-in application screen. International students are allowed a grace period of 2 months after moving in to complete their payment. After submitting the check-in application, international students will receive an information email regarding payment to their Mason account.
Your residency may be canceled if you failed to pay by the deadline set by IGC Housing.
International students are allowed a grace period of 2 months after moving in to complete their payment.
IGC Housing only accepts domestic wire transfers. And, due to various banking limitations for international students in Korea, we recommend students pay for housing with cash. We also recommend considering using Western Union services to send/receive cash safely in Korea.
Once you have the fee in cash, you can make remittances at the IBK bank branch in Songdo without having to open an account with the bank.
You should bring:

You can check in to the IGC Housing and move into your room during the designated check-in period.
In general, the check-in period starts 5 - 7 days before the semester starts. The exact date and time will be shared with the prospective residents during the check-in application.
During check-in, IGC Housing will inform your room number and grant you access to pass the security measures.
You MUST bring the following materials for check-in. Otherwise, you will NOT be able to check in and need to come back another day when you are ready to submit the materials.
Please note that the requirements are subject to change. You can check the IGC Housing Notice Board to find up-to-date check-in requirements.
It is crucial that you adhere to the designated check-in period. IGC Housing enforces a strict check-in policy, and failure to check in during the assigned time without prior notice may result in the cancellation of your residency application. If you are unable to check in on time, you must submit a late check-in application in advance.
The university will create a list of students who have filed late arrival requests and share it with IGC Housing. Students must be on this list in order to be allowed to check in to IGC Housing after the regular check-in period.
