We offer a tutorial system for new foreign students during their first year to help them get accustomed to student life in Japan quickly and to enrich students' study and research.

Tutors are generally Japanese students and will give individual advice on problems related to language, academic issues, and daily life. (Guidance on and off campus, accompaniment to government offices, shopping, assistance in finding housing, etc.)

Extracurricular classes (Notice) are held in the Group Work Room 1 of the Welfare Facilities from 9:00am to 11:00am every Monday and Tuesday.

We offer two courses under guidance of instructors:

1. Introductory Course for new foreign students (twice a week)

2. Pre-Intermediate Course (twice a week)

Please refer to the list below of Japanese textbooks we lend out for free.

Learning Japanese is essential for living in Japan. Participation is free and we recommend taking courses on a regular basis.

If you are planning to travel outside Japan, you will be required to submit the following forms to the International Office:

[BEFORE Traveling] "Notification of overseas travel"

[AFTER Traveling] "Return Notification" should be attached with a copy of the page with a re-entry stamp in your passport.

You will be issued your student ID card when you attend the university guidance session. Be sure to always carry it with you as well as your residence card.

This is the procedure required when changing the status of residence, such as when a person who has been in Japan under "Dependent" residence status changes his/her status of residence to "Student" when enrolling in our university.

This procedure is required for those who will stay in Japan with the same status of residence for a longer period of time than planned at the time of entry, such as those who have completed the doctoral course at the graduate school and become a continuing research student.

This procedure is required for those who stay under the status of residence "Student" to take a part-time job in Japan.

• Non-Academic Activities (Part-time Job)

This is about the procedure when an eligible person re-enters the country within one year.

This procedure is required when a child is born to obtain residency status for the child.
