For early admission, there is no minimum academic achievement requirement on the College Scholastic Ability Test, and applicants are not required to submit a self-introduction letter.

This year, the Department of Cultural Contents and the Global Studies Division have been newly established. Admissions are categorized into student record-based screening, comprehensive student record screening, and practical skill-based screening, selecting 951, 401, and 34 students respectively. The student record-based screening includes general academic screening (862 students), basic and lower-income group screening (24 students), specialized high school graduate screening (17 students), rural student screening (42 students), and disabled student screening (6 students). Selection in the student record-based screening is based on school records (90% academic grades and 10% attendance).

The comprehensive student record screening includes general comprehensive screening (270 students), regional talent screening (74 students), equal opportunity screening (43 students), and social integration screening (14 students). Selection is conducted in two stages: first, school records (academic and extracurricular activities), and second, interviews for those who pass the first stage. No additional documents such as self-introduction letters are required when applying for the comprehensive student record screening.

The practical skill-based screening includes practical skill screening and special talent screening. Departments operating practical skill screening are the Department of Music (4 vocal music students, 6 piano students, 4 orchestral music students), selecting students based on school records and practical exams. Departments operating special talent screening include the Department of Fine Arts and the Department of Physical Education (men's canoe 3 students, men's kendo 4 students, men's basketball 4 students, men's volleyball 4 students, inline roller 3 students). The Department of Fine Arts selects students based on school records and competition achievements, while the Department of Physical Education selects students through school records, competition achievements, and practical exams.

In this early admission, applicants can apply to multiple programs (departments or divisions) up to two units, with up to three different screening types (duplicate applications within the same screening type are not allowed).

For example, a student wishing to enter the Department of Korean Language and Literature can apply simultaneously to the Department of Korean Language and Literature and the Division of Humanities. If admitted to the Division of Humanities, the student is guaranteed 100% admission to the Department of Korean Language and Literature upon entering the second year. The application period is from the 23rd to 6 p.m. on the 28th, and applications can be submitted through the Mokpo National University website.
