2) Method of defense: Considering COVID-19 situation, Online / Offline / Online+Offline defense are all possible with approval of committee members.
– In case of Offline / Online+Offline defense, the room should be able to accommodate 2 times of the number of people participating.
ex) 6 people in the defense -> Room (classroom/meeting room) should be able to have over 12 people
3) Not getting the committee member’s signature in person, you could get online signature (make sure the online signature is not too blurry)
4) Uploading publication information through portal:[Portal]-[Academic Affairs]-[Activities]-[Publication Information]
