Abstract
University admission through cross-entry admission is active and expected to accelerate further. However, due to this, it is expected that more students will drop out due to maladaptation to their department. Accordingly, universities must prepare systematic management, including the academic counseling necessary for students entering the Liberal Arts and Sciences Cross Application. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the current status of cross-application and the needs of cross-entry students in 2021 and 2022 at S University. Academic counseling was planned and conducted to help students‘ academic achievement and school adaptation. Primary research was conducted to help students with liberal arts and science cross-entry status to have a successful college life. First, in the 2021 school year, most of the cases involved students who completed liberal arts courses in high school and had applied to university science courses for reasons that were advantageous for employment. On the other hand, in the 2022 school year, science majors in high school applied to the field of liberal arts for reasons of admission to universities with a higher pass estimate. Second, among the 2021 cross-entry students who entered the science field, there was a phenomenon in which female students cross-applied again to the liberal arts field in 2022. Third, in terms of satisfaction with the department entered, compared to students enrolled in 2021, the satisfaction level of students enrolled in 2022 was lower at a statistically significant level, indicating that students who cross-applied for liberal arts have greater difficulty adapting to their department than students who cross-apply for science. This shows that the combined test for cross-application among liberal arts and science students can cause difficulties in their adaptation to college. This study sought and suggested alternatives for successful college adaptation for newly admitted students who requested academic counseling. This study also serves as primary research for universities to better help them understand and prepare their cross-application entrance exams.
