Student Consultation

Information about student consultations and consultations with student support representatives.

Student Consultation

There are student consultation offices on both campuses where students and teachers can talk freely. You can discuss anything at these offices, including academics, careers, human relations and your life.
You can find teachers from each department in the offices, so feel free to ask simple questions about classes and the like. If necessary, we can also tell you about outside consultation organizations. Private matters that you bring up during consultation are naturally kept strictly confidential. The student consultation offices are here to help you lead a peaceful and secure campus life.

Counselor schedules are posted on the bulletin board.
See the Student Support Representative page.

Harassment

The Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology defines harassment as “inappropriate speech or action that is motivated by discrimination or takes advantage of power in a relationship and results in disadvantage or damage, including mental and physical effects, relating to study, research, work or the like.” Harassment includes sexual, academic and racial harassment, as well as harassment related to alcohol, smoking, instant messaging and telephone communication.
To prevent and address damages caused by all forms of harassment that impair individual dignity and academic freedom, the university has established a Harassment Prevention and Countermeasure Committee and a Harassment Consultation Office as an intermediary agency for consultation and solving problems. The president appoints these specialized counselors after they complete special training.
The problem-solving methods used include cautioning and warning perpetrators, investigating the facts, arbitration between the parties involved (at the request of a counselor), and, upon deliberation, compulsory measures such as committee recommendations and sanctions. In all of these cases, counselors respect the will of the counselee and protect the counselee’s reputation and privacy. Counselees can withdraw their complaints at any stage. There are also cases that only involve consultation.
