Planning your Arrival

• Get the accommodation address in advance from our HR team (will be sent at least 2 days before the flight) 

• There are 2 ways to get to Daejeon from Incheon airport:

1. By bus: The bus ticket can be purchased at the bus ticket counters between Exit 9 and Exit 13 at Terminal 1 and between Exit 1 and 2 at Terminal 2. When you buy your ticket, be sure to ask for a seat.

2. By Train: You have to purchase two train tickets: (a) from Incheon airport to Seoul Station and (b) from Seoul Station to Daejeon Station. It is more complicated because of the transfer, so we recommend you to take the bus.

3. When you arrive at Daejeon, take a taxi to the accommodation (show the taxi driver the address)

Faculty ID and Accounts

When you submit the required documents, you will be issued a Faculty ID, an email address (you can customize the "someone" part in someone@solbridge.ac.kr), a Zoom account (if necessary), a Turnitin account (if you need to use a plagiarism checker), and a MySolBridge account.

Notes for Special/Guest Lecturers:

If you are a guest faculty member or special lecturer teaching only one or two courses for SolBridge:

• You likely won't have your own SolBridge faculty ID or Zoom account

• Your course will be loaded under a regular faculty member's account

• You can access SAIS, Smart LMS, and the attendance website using the shared ID and password provided to you

Using Zoom (special/guest lecturers)

• If you already have a licensed Zoom account, please use that.
  You can post a meeting link on the Smart LMS.

• We recommend not using use a personal Zoom account.
  Free accounts are limited to just 40-minute meetings. Ending and restarting a Zoom meeting in the middle of class is quite disruptive.

• If you don't have access to a licensed Zoom account, we will provide with one shared with another professor.
  We will try our best to avoid overlap between the classes of professors sharing the account. Please do not schedule extra classes or student meetings using this account without first making sure that it is not being used by someone else.
