In order to avoid confusion about how your absences (official, health related, unofficial) are being recorded on NEIS (internet portal used by most schools for communications and administrative issues) or on paper in your "duty records book," we have provided a list of typical classifications in Korean and English and how they are used. Note that some of these affect your vacation time, so it is important to keep your own records for your absences to make sure you and your school are on the same page. Also, it's important to look these over and understand when each classification is used, so you aren't surprised later on down the line.

Check out the NEIS attendance chart classification below.
