(1) Policies on lectures for the third quarter
| 1) | Basic infection control measures (Please take your own temperature before coming to the university, ensure good ventilation, disinfect your hands, wear a mask (in principle, non-woven masks should be used), and do not attend university if you are not feeling well.) |
| 2) | If you are not feeling well, you are allowed to change to online participation from home. In that case, please apply for "Notification of Absence for Specified Reasons" (Authorized Absence System) to your lecturer. Reference: Web bulletin board “About the Authorized Absence System (Including online lectures)” |
| 3) | Face-to face lectures will be held with the examination capacity. (In the classroom, please be seated in a zigzag pattern with both left and right sides open. Follow the seating guide.) |
| 4) | For classes offered in the third quarter, it is possible to take all classes online completely from home by submitting a request for consideration to participate classes online (instructions on exams will be provided separately). There is no disadvantage in taking lectures under this system. However, this system applies when you wish to take all your lectures online, and does not apply when you only want to take online lectures for a part of time or for some lectures.
