Infection Prevention and Safety Initiatives

1. Use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to implement a "For the Students" strategy across the entire university, and to make back-ups (ex: online student consultations, online career consultations, etc.).
2. As a general rule, classes are held in-person, while upholding our infection-prevention policies.
・With the exception of some classrooms, the maximum number of seats shall be limited to the classroom capacity. (There is no limit to the number of seats.)
・Wearing masks during class is left to the discretion of each student, and will not be enforced.
・Hand disinfection practices upon entering classrooms as well as the use of ventilation in classrooms will be continued.
・Those who have been diagnosed as having a new type of coronavirus infection or those who have had a close contact with the virus must report their absence from class in the same manner as for other illnesses such as the seasonal flu.
3. Hand sanitizer will be placed throughout campus to help prevent the spread of infection. Professors will (continue to) wear masks.
4. Part-time job information will (continue to) be provided to international students who may be seeking new work due to a variety of circumstances.
