2029 academic year's college admission special form for farming village students, who have been allowed to move their residence before graduation, will continue to be granted admission even after graduating from high school. The Korean University Education Conference announced the basic rules for the 2029 college admission system on the 27th.

These rules state that farming village special admission candidates can change their residence before graduation and still be admitted to college. Currently, farming village special admission requires students to complete elementary, middle, and high school education in their local schools and live in the same area until graduating from high school.

However, cases of admission cancellation after students moved residence before college entry have continued, leading to ongoing litigation. In response, the Korean University Education Conference decided to grant an exception for admission approval to be recognized as long as the candidate meets the residency requirements until the registration date.

Students who have already graduated from high school and apply for farming village special admission will still need to meet the residency requirements from the time of admission until graduation. The conference emphasized that it is important to clearly inform students about the procedures and methods for handling registration and cancellation of enrollment, as well as the process for handling cancellation requests.

There have been instances where second-choice applicants have lost their admission opportunities, and double enrollment or incomplete graduation issues have arisen due to a lack of specific rules on these procedures and methods. To address this, the conference also provided measures to prevent problems caused by system failures, such as delayed submission of documents, during the application period.

Starting from the 2029 academic year, universities will be able to establish their own admission management committee and fairness committee to provide assistance for late submissions of documents, among other measures. Additionally, the rules also include provisions to prevent relative disadvantages for small and rural schools and farming village students due to the implementation of a GPA system.

These students often take courses offered by online schools or joint education programs where schools struggle to offer classes. The conference recommended that universities consider the efforts made by applicants based on the education and training system of their originating high schools when setting course offerings. The Korean University Education Conference also announced the schedule for the 2029 college admission process.

The early admission process will run from September 22, 2028, to December 18, 2028, with the notification of the college entrance exam results (December 8) serving as the starting point for the standard processing period. The regular admission process will be divided into three groups (A, B, and C) with each group having an 8-day period to allow for a smooth operation of the entrance exam procedures.
