TUAT Measures in Response to COVID-19

　We are looking forward to a fresh start as we welcome another new year. However, unfortunately, the number of new positive cases of COVID-19 in Japan is on the rise. While keeping a close watch on the positive cases of COVID-19 and responses of the national/local governments, at TUAT, we would like to secure opportunities for interaction and communication among student themselves and among students and faculty/administrative staff members to a maximum extent. Furthermore, important university events such as graduation dissertation presentations/dissertation reviews and university entrance examinations will be held between January and March, so we must try to prevent occurrence of COVID-19 clusters, etc. on campus. Therefore, here we present the TUAT measures on university activities from January till the end of March.
　We ask all students to continue to take thorough infection prevention measures and to “protect yourself from infection and prevent infection transmission to others”.

• In general, lectures will be conducted face to face after thorough infection prevention measures are taken. However, please follow the policies of the Faculty/Graduate School you belong to.
• As we will be frequently posting up-to-date information on how the lectures or university events, etc. will be held at TUAT, please check the Google Classroom, Web Bulletin Board for students and TUAT website, etc.
• Laboratory activities can be carried out after thorough infection prevention measures are taken. However, please ensure to follow the policies of the Faculty/Graduate School you belong to.
• If there are students who wish to avoid commuting to university, etc. due to concerns on infection transmission, we will take account of their situation if possible. Please contact the education/student life committee or your supervisor/advising professor immediately.
• At each campus, infection prevention measures are taken and we are working to create a safe environment for study and research, where the students and researchers can pursue their study and research without much concern about the infection transmission, etc. Please cooperate in wearing non-woven masks, cleaning your hands and disinfecting your desks with alcohol, etc.
• Please take good care of your health. If you feel unwell, please refrain from attending university or going outside the house/residence, and consult a doctor first. If you have not been vaccinated for COVID-19 yet, we recommend that you consider getting vaccinated proactively.
• About extra-curricular activities, please refer to “新型コロナウイルス感染症発生状況下でのサークル活動について” (Extra-curricular activities under the occurrence of positive cases for COVID-19) dated January 11, 2022.
• Keep social distancing and refrain from talking without a mask in various situations regardless of whether you are on campus or off campus.
• Please refrain from social gatherings (farewell parties, etc.) on campus.
• Please take great care and attention not to contract the virus from off-campus activities (including part-time jobs and volunteer activities).
• When gathering to eat or drink with others, make an appropriate decision by yourself based on the policies, etc. of the national or local government — regardless of whether the participants belong to TUAT or not; whether the venue is in a restaurant or in someone’s private house/residence, etc.
• When going on a domestic business trip, give adequate thought to the situation of the destination as well before proceeding with the trip.
• In general, students’ overseas business trips, etc. will not be approved. However, there are some cases that overseas trips may be permitted; for example, if the trip is deemed to be required as part of an outbound study abroad program based on an inter-university cooperation agreement, etc. Please consult the Student Support Office, etc. of the Faculty or Graduate School you belong to well in advance of planning the trip.
• If you are confirmed with COVID-19, taken a PCR test or identified as a Close Contact to a COVID-19 positive individual, immediately report it to the University.
• Please act according to the information or guidelines provided by the national/local governments.
• We may make a new announcement even before March is over if there is any change to the guidelines of the national or local government.
• If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Student Support Office, etc. of the Faculty or Graduate School you belong to.
