Meiji University

 

In response to the lifting of the government's declaration of a state of emergency, Meiji university has been implementing measures to restrict entry into the university since June 1, setting Meiji University Activity Restriction Guidelines at "Level 3". However, after comprehensively assessing the occurrence of new coronavirus infections and the appropriate response for the continuation of education and research activities, we have decided that from July 1, Meiji University Activity Restriction Guidelines will be lowered to "Level 2".
* "Level 3" will continue to apply until June 30.

If the policy of the central government or the Tokyo Metropolitan Government changes, there is a possibility that the level of Meiji University Activity Restriction Guidelines will change accordingly. Such information will be posted on our HP, Oh-o! Meiji etc.

The guidelines for each activity at Level 2 are as follows.

1 Classes and Educational Activities
As a general rule, classes will be conducted online throughout the Spring Semester. Regarding the possibility of face-to-face classes when transitioning to Level 2 of the Meiji University Activity Restriction Guidelines, announced on May 22, it has been decided to partially start face-to-face classes in a range of subjects from July 1.

Each department and graduate school will inform you of the details of the subjects for which face-to-face classes will be started.
With regard to face-to-face classes, taking into account the individual circumstances of the students taking the classes, in addition to face-to-face classes, we will give due consideration to students who wish to refrain from coming to the campuses by allowing methods such as online class delivery, and will implement classes in flexible ways so that students may avoid being on campus, if they so wish.

2 Research activities
To prevent the spread of infection, academic research activities are permitted with due consideration to the research environment.
Participation in and sponsoring research meetings such as academic conferences are prohibited in principle.
When conducting research activities, be sure to check the following guidelines.
