About the Co-op
Used together, decided together,
with the benefits returned to our members.
A co-operative is an association of people who unite voluntarily to meet their shared needs through an enterprise they own together and run democratically. The KNOU Consumer Co-operative applies that idea on campus: students, faculty and staff join as members, and the co-op runs stores and services that support university life.
Co-operation
Members take part in running the co-op and in the decisions it makes.
Welfare
Goods and services at fair prices and consistent quality.
Mutual benefit
What the co-op earns is shared back with members and the campus.
Membership
Who can join
Undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff of Korea National Open University.
