Aug 4, 2020 UPDATE
May 29, 2020

 

To: All Students of Graduate School of Engineering and Faculty of Engineering
From: Dean, Graduate School of Engineering

 

As the state of emergency in response to the novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) was lifted in Japan on May 25, 2020, we have announced a notice regarding TUAT’s policies for COVID-19 control on May 27. According to this, the campus entry restrictions will be lifted from June 15. Based on the TUAT’s policies for COVID-19 control, Faculty/Graduate School of Engineering established “Policies of Faculty/Graduate School of Engineering on Activity Restrictions for Preventing the Spread of COVID-19” on May 27. In this, we have clarified the policies on activities for each restriction level in terms of research activities, lectures, students’ extra-curricular activities, etc.; and the restrictions can be lifted or tightened step by step according to the conditions of COVID-19 spread. Currently, the activity restriction level is Level 4; and on/after Monday, June 1, we plan on lowering the level to Level 3.
Our correspondence for research activities, lectures, students’ extra-curricular activities, etc. is as follows.

1)  Research activities

From Monday, June 1, restrictions on research activities will be relaxed according to the activity restriction level. For example, at Level 3, in principle, students who can commute to school without using public transportation will be affected; at Level 2, students who commute by public transportation while adopting staggered hours of commuting will be affected. Regarding resuming the research activities, students’ concerns will be taken as top priority. Resuming of research activities will be allowed on the premise that the supervisors/advising professors accurately explain to the students the measures, etc. on avoiding the three conditions (3Cs) that facilitate the transmission of infectious disease (closed spaces, crowds, and close contact); and that the students take “Survey on Resuming Research Activities” online. Until Sunday, June 14, a “Campus Entry Permit” signed by a supervisor/advising professor is still required when entering the campus, as announced before.

2)  Lectures

According to the conditions of COVID-19 spread, part of the description of “Lectures” at “Restriction Level 1” of “Policies of Faculty/Graduate School of Engineering on Activity Restrictions for Preventing the Spread of COVID-19” will be changed to enable hybrid lectures (combination of face-to-face lectures and online lectures) to be held from the 3rd quarter (October 1st).

We will inform you of the specific implementation methods for the 3rd quarter on our website in/from mid-September.

3)  Extra-curricular activities

Restrictions on extra-curricular activities, etc. involving Faculty/Graduate School of Engineering will be lifted conditionally if the activity restriction level becomes Level 2 or lower. According to the Notice announced by TUAT Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Response Headquarter on May 27, extra-curricular activities can be resumed if a "Request for Extracurricular Activities" is submitted to the office of the Faculty/Graduate School of Engineering and approved, with the approval of the professors in charge of the activities. However, please be sure to avoid the three conditions (3Cs), such as by postponing the new student welcome parties.

 

As explained above, at Faculty/Graduate School of Engineering, restrictions on research activities, lectures, students’ extra-curricular activities, etc. will change step by step, by reflecting on the conditions of COVID-19 spread and activity restriction levels. Details of the activity restriction levels will be uploaded on the Faculty/Graduate School of Engineering websites. Please check for your reference.

The teaching/administrative staff at Faculty/Graduate School of Engineering will continue to support your study as a team. If you have questions or would like to consult with someone, etc., please contact the supervisor/advising professors of your department/major, Board of Education, Student Committee, research supervisor/advising professors, or Student Support Office, etc.. For concerns or mental health issues, please contact Health Service Center.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
