Notice on Campus Entry Restriction

A total of ten students have been tested positive of COVID-19 between March 25 (THU) and April 3 (SAT), after the first confirmed case was discovered on March 25 (THU) from Gonzaga Hall. Fortunately, no further cases have been reported ever since, and most of the students who were hospitalized at the time have now been discharged.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the members of Sogang community for your efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 during the past two weeks. Especially, we would like to show our profound appreciation for the tenants of the dormitories, who have went through hard time due to COVID testing and self-isolation.

The situation on Sogang campus seems to have settled down. However, the number of newly confirmed cases is still on the rise nationwide, and this is indeed a serious situation requiring attention. The Committee has therefore decided to implement the below requirements in terms of accessing the university campus.

- Only the members of Sogang Community can come on campus, with Sogang ID.  (Must show ID at the gate to gain entry)

- Both pedestrians and cars can enter through the front gate.

- Pedestrians can enter through the back gate from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.(Cars still cannot use the back gate)

- Non-Sogang personnel/vehicles will still be locked out of the Sogang campus.

- On-campus courses which were switched online due to campus lockdown can be delivered back on campus from April 12 (MON)

Above requirements will remain active until further notice. We thank you once again for your cooperation to the university’s strict policies. We kindly ask that you comply with the Government’s sanitary guidelines such as the level of social distancing.
