Q: How can you know that I sent the money if I don't write my name as a sender?
A: The accout number you have is only for you. If you send the moeny to that account, the money will automatically be matched with your information.
Q: Can't I pay the dormitory fee with credit card? Isn't there any other method to send money other than transferring?
A: Paying with credit card is impossible. You can only pay with the account transferring. When you send the money, please send enough moeny to cover all commissions. If it's overpaid, the overpaid amount will be refunded after you come to Korea. So please pay enoughly. Also after you pay, please send the receipt to dormitory email address(dorm@skku.edu) so that we can know that you have paid and the money is on transferring.

| Q |
Can I get a receipt for payment of the dormitory fee?
|
|
[RE]
The dormitory price is subject to neither income tax deduction nor tax refunds, so a cash receipt would not be of any use. Therefore, the dormitory does not issue cash receipts, but can issue a confirmation of payment. This can be done when you send the dormitory fee from a bank or ATM by requesting a form confirming that the money has been sent.

| Q |
Payment of deposit after leaving
|
|
[RE]
<Payment of deposit after leaving>
-August 2021 - Present-
1. Handling deposits
① Students: Login to GLS → Menu → Application/Qualification management → Application about student life → Dormitory refund account and photo registration → Refund account, refund bank, account holder → Save
② Management office: The facilities team and cleaning team will check the room and see if any deductions are to be made. Any damage costs will be deducted and the accounting office will be notified of this.
2. Precautions when entering your account into GLS. See below.
① This account will be used for deposit refund and anything else related to dormitory refunds.
② Confirm that you have registered the right bank account.
③ You are responsible for any delay or confusion resulting from an error in the registered bank account.
④ When doing a group wire transfer, we cannot confirm the owners of the relevant accounts, so if the account number is wrong then the payment will go amiss. Please make sure you enter the account number correctly.
3. Required time
After payment, the deposit and refund will be transferred to the accounting office, so it will take about 3 weeks from the application date (not including holidays). In the event of your failure or mistake in registering a refund account, the refund may be delayed or go missing, so please register before the leaving date. The dormitory will contact residents who have entered details incorrectly before attempting a second round of refunds. The bank does not allow us to check the bank number with the account holder, so please input the correct account number.
