[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] The Gyeongnam Office of Education announced on the 1st that it will accept applications for the 2021 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT).

Applications will be accepted from the 3rd to the 18th, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at high schools in the province and at seven education support offices in the test districts of Changwon, Jinju, Yangsan, Geochang, and others, excluding Saturdays and public holidays. During this period, changes to the application details are also possible.

It is a principle that applicants must submit their applications in person. However, for persons with disabilities, inmates, military service members, hospitalized patients, and those currently residing overseas as of the application date, direct family members such as parents may submit the application on their behalf.

In particular, this year, those in self-quarantine or confirmed COVID-19 cases are also included among those eligible for proxy submission. Proxy submission is possible upon submission of supporting documents verifying the relationship between the proxy and the applicant.

Applicants wishing to submit their applications must bring the application form, application fee, identification card, and two passport-sized photos, and those applicable must submit additional supporting documents.

The photos attached to the application must have been taken within six months of the application date, i.e., after March 4. Accepted identification includes resident registration cards, valid resident registration card application confirmation certificates, driver’s licenses, passports before expiration, valid youth IDs, and student IDs with the school principal’s seal.

Additionally, starting this year, the Office of Education has fully improved the CSAT application fee payment method from cash payment to virtual account payment, reducing the workload for schools.

Hong Jeong-hee, Director of the Curriculum Division, said, “This year’s CSAT will be the first to apply the 2015 revised curriculum and simultaneously the last to apply the current CSAT system. We will thoroughly implement quarantine measures so that examinees can safely visit application centers during the application period.”
