Petitions for relief concerning the college application system failure can be submitted from 9:00 a.m. on September 14 to 6:00 p.m. on September 16. Applications can be made through the relief petition board, which will be set up on the homepage of 'UwayApply', the company handling application processing.

The Korean Council for University Education extended the application deadline from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., but applicants still experienced significant confusion.
