Student Services
Counseling and Guidance
Student life at Handong is based on a holistic concept in which each student is viewed as an intellectual, emotional, spiritual, physical, and social being. Individual guidance is provided for students in areas of personal difficulty or adjustment, interpersonal relationships, emotional stress, academic issues, and vocational choice. Each student is assigned an academic advisor and a team professor to assist with academic development as well as spiritual and career guidance. ¡¤


Medical Care
Medical care is available on the first floor of dormitory #3. Each student is expected to provide for his or her own immunization protection. Several hospitals are located in the Pohang area. Handong does not provide a group medical plan for students to cover sickness and accidents while attending the university, so that students should provide their own. ¡¤


Dormitory Residency
Dormitory residency is required of all freshmen and sophomores. Rooms are designed to hold 3 to 4 students. Aside from basic dormitory facilities, each residence hall is equipped with a study room.
Through dorm life, students can learn to understand and respect one another. Most students enjoy dorm life and they think of their dorm as their home. Students mature by living in the dorm, learning to be in charge of their own lives and to be independent in their thinking, planning and goal setting.
There are six dormitories, and one is exclusively for senior students. Laundry facilities are located on each floor. Many students use the meeting rooms located on each floor for fellowship, watching TV and sharing together.
Students develop life-long friendships and relationships while being involved in activities, clubs, and dorm-life. Students have access to various computer labs on campus and can participate in a physical fitness program using a local sports facility or the exercise room located in one of the dormitories. The reading and prayer rooms are for students' use anytime during the day or week.
Students are required to be inside their dormitories by 11:00 p.m. unless otherwise permitted by the residence hall management. Visiting between men's and women's residences is permitted only during "Open House" which takes place during the festivals. The consumption of alcohol is not permitted on campus, and smoking is restricted to designated areas.
Student Conduct - A desire to give a positive testimony should be the guide and motive for student conduct. To walk in truth requires a complete spiritual commitment in every phase of life. Students are expected to follow the standards established by the university and dorm policy. The university reserves the right to require withdrawal of students whose standards of conduct conflict seriously with those which the University seeks to maintain. ¡¤


Social Service Center
The Social Service Center organizes and manages the student program for helping the poor, the sick and the elderly within our local community. Students are required to serve on a weekly or monthly basis depending on the type of service they choose. Through this program students learn responsibility to their neighbors and community, how to use their time and talents in the service of others, and what true servant-leadership is all about. Students grow in character, mature in Christ, frequently learn new skills, and gain confidence in their interaction with others who may have different backgrounds and life experiences from their own. ¡¤


Student Government
The student government seeks to foster harmonious relationships between students and university personnel. They plan, sponsor, and are involved with student activities such as the Spring and Fall festivals and HanST (Freshman Orientation). Elections are held each fall semester for the upcoming school year. ¡¤


Handong Press
The Handong Press publishes the monthly school newspaper. The paper focuses on issues of relevance to the university, the nation, the world, academia, and more. "I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people." ( Luke 2:10). The Handong Press also seeks to highlight good news and to be a source of joy for the university community. It frequently testifies to God's grace in leading and supporting our school. ¡¤


Bands, Clubs, Drama Teams, etc.
Student clubs display their talents by performing during university festivals and other special events. Through several active clubs on-campus, students can develop new interests, acquire new skills, and simply enjoy some much needed leisure time with friends. ¡¤


Intramurals
Soccer, baseball and basketball, to name a few - Intraschool competition, which promotes friendly relations with one another through games and periodic competition.
