Paperwork for New Faculty

Please fill out the following two forms so that your documents can be processed in a timely manner. Scroll down to see detailed explanations of the necessary steps.

These are the steps for processing your paperwork and arrival:

1. Contract: 

•  You will provide the required documents. HR will prepare a contract.

• If you are happy with the terms of the contract, you will send a scanned copy of the signed contract.

2. Visa Number

   • After receiving your signed contract, HR will issue you a "Visa Number". You will need this number to apply for a Korean Work Visa at the Korean embassy in your country.

3. Visa

   • It takes between 2-3 weeks for the Korean embassy in your country to issue the visa.

4. Apartment

   • If you are an international (non-Korean) faculty, the school will provide you with accommodation. The size of the apartment depends on availability and family size. Click here for some pictures of sample apartments.

5. Faculty ID

   •  HR will issue you a 8-digit Faculty ID which is necessary to access the Learning Management System (LMS), Attendance System, and several other systems used at SolBridge.

6. SolBridge Email

   • HR will also create a SolBridge email address for you. Please use this email for all official communication (e.g., with the school's administrators, faculty members, and students). You can choose the 'something' part in something@solbridge.ac.kr. The option to choose your email ID is in this form.

7. Zoom Account

   • When your SolBridge email is activated, you can use it to create a Zoom account. The Zoom account you create with your SolBridge email has an Education license and has no time limit on the meetings. Click here to see how a Zoom account with Education license looks like.

8. Listing in Faculty Page

   • You will be listed as a faculty member in this page. Please fill out this form to provide the relevant information.

9. MySolBridge Account

   • After you get your official SolBridge email, please contact Prof Daniel Corks (danielcorks@solbridge.ac.kr) who will create an account for you on MySolBridge (click here). This is a platform we use to manage our interaction with students (e.g., providing updates about events, setting up office hours and interviews, etc).

10. Resident Registration Card 

    • Normally, the visa that your embassy issues is valid for a single-entry. Once you arrive in Korea, you will apply for a "Resident Registration Card" (formerly know as "Alien Registration Card", ARC) which will allow you multiple entries without any restriction.

    • After your arrival in Korea, it takes 3-5 weeks (depending on how busy the immigration office is) to get your Resident Card.
