If an applicant has a record of school violence, they will face significant disadvantages in JBNU admissions. Depending on score adjustments, this can result in outright rejection. In last year’s JBNU admissions, all five applicants with confirmed histories of school violence (four in early admission, one in regular admission) were rejected.

JBNU has applied consideration of school violence disciplinary measures to evaluations in the Comprehensive Student Record early admission and in the regular admission process starting with the 2025 academic year admissions.

In fact, last year’s admissions results showed five applicants with recorded school violence disciplinary measures—four in the Comprehensive Student Record early admission and one in the regular admission—and all were rejected.

This policy will be further strengthened in this year’s admissions. According to the government’s April 2023 "Comprehensive Measures to Eradicate School Violence" and the "2026 Academic Year University Admissions Guidelines," from the 2026 academic year the consideration of school violence disciplinary measures will be mandatory for all universities.

Accordingly, JBNU has expanded the scope of consideration beyond the existing Comprehensive Student Record and regular admissions to include the early admission student record (curriculum-based) track and practical performance-based arts and physical education admissions.

JBNU has detailed the point-deduction criteria for cases with school violence disciplinary measures. Measures Nos. 1–3 incur a 5-point deduction, Nos. 4–5 a 10-point deduction, Nos. 6–7 a 15-point deduction, and Nos. 8–9 a 50-point deduction. For the Comprehensive Student Record admission, disadvantages are applied through qualitative evaluation rather than quantitative point deductions.

Ahn Jeong-yong, Vice-President of the Office of Admission at JBNU, stated, "School violence is an act that cannot be tolerated for any reason, and it is being strictly reflected in university admissions. We will continue to thoroughly verify and manage school violence disciplinary records to lead the establishment of a fair and responsible admissions culture."
