  • ■ Course Format of the Spring 2021 semester
  • Since it is unlikely that you will enter Japan during the Spring 2021 semester, the Spring 2021 semester will be conducted Online or On-Demand.
  1. Students can take the ESOP (Exchange Students from Overseas Program) and JLP (Japanese Language Program) classes of the Spring 2021 semester from their home countries online. Other classes will be conducted both online and face-to-face (hybrid flexible course format), but students who are unable to come to Japan can take all of classes via Online or On-Demand, if students get permission from the professor.
  2. In case students take online courses from their home countries, please be careful about the time difference.
  3. The syllabus of 21/22 AY will be released on March 24th. Hosei WEB syllabus-home (click here)

 

  • ■ Policy of Entering Japan (Spring 2021) 
  • Tokyo has announced a third state of emergency as Covid-19 cases rise.
    The third state of emergency runs from April 25 to May 11.
  • The Government of Japan immigration restrictions will keep continuing.
    Therefore, we have to decide our policies for the spring semester as follows.
    We are very sorry but have to announce we cannot accept ESOP students staying abroad to come to Japan during the spring 2021 semester.
    Students will have to take the courses online continually from overseas the whole of the spring 2021 semester.

  5. Cleaning and disinfection by using sterilizing chemicals.
  6. Maintaining social distancing by limiting the number of classroom seats.
