Policies on lectures for the third quarter is to offer lectures face-to-face, and for 1st year to 3rd year students in Faculty of Engineering, the third quarter lectures will be held in hybrid classrooms.
According to the student survey on vaccination, 90% of the students have been vaccinated twice or have made a reservation for vaccination, but 12% of the students do not wish to be vaccinated (1564 responses from the Faculty of Engineering). In addition, since there have been outbreaks of the new variant, please continue to take basic measures against infection for a while when you attend lectures.
(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.
