Korea National Sport University

Run by the campus, for the campus.

Korea National Sport University Consumer Cooperative is owned by the students, faculty and staff who use it. We run the dining hall, convenience store and café on campus, and return what we earn to our members.

About Co-op

What is a university co-op?

A cooperative is an autonomous association of people who join together voluntarily to meet their shared economic, social and cultural needs through an enterprise they own jointly and run democratically.

University consumer cooperatives bring that model onto campus. Faculty, staff and students all take part as members, and the co-op runs dining halls, convenience stores and cafés that support study and research. Thirty-four universities across Korea operate one today.

Korea National Sport University Consumer Cooperative was founded in 2010 by members of the university community. It operates under the Consumer Cooperatives Act, with the aim of improving member welfare, supporting the academic environment, and contributing to the surrounding community.

Investor Operator User

Every member is an investor, an operator and a user at the same time.

01

One member, one vote

Every member has an equal say in how the co-op is run, regardless of how much they have invested.

02

Not run for profit

Surplus goes back to members and into campus services rather than to outside shareholders.

03

Open to everyone on campus

Students, graduate students, faculty and staff are all eligible to join.

Good to know

  • Your Itsme membership barcode is your proof of membership at the till.
  • If you registered but have not paid your share capital yet, your application stays pending rather than being deleted.
  • If your share capital was transferred under a name other than your own, contact the co-op office so we can match it to your account.
  • You can withdraw at any time and your share capital is refunded.
