These guidelines have been revised from the “Handbook Support for Students with Disabilities for Meiji University for Faculty and Staff” issued in March 2019 to comply with the amended Disability.
Discrimination Elimination Act (effective from April 2024) and to promote support for Students with Disabilities at the University. They specify matters that faculty and staff should be aware of, specific measures to be taken, and points to note.
The purpose of this document is to deepen understanding of the interpretation of laws and Meiji University regulations as well as the implementation of support for students with disabilities, and to enhance common understanding among faculty and staff.
We hope that not only faculty and staff involved in supporting students with disabilities, but also every member of faculty and staff will deepen their understanding of disabilities and promote support for students with disabilities by utilizing these guidelines.

Japan is among countries in the world prone to earthquakes and other natural disasters. It is extremely important to regularly consider what kinds of diffi culties
students with disabilities may encounter in the event of a disaster and make preparations.
Information on what to do, how to communicate, and how to gather information in the event of a disaster while at Meiji University can be found in the “Meiji University Disaster Prevention Guidebook” (see P.13). However, this handbook focuses on students with disabilities and provides information on creating individual evacuation plans, what to do in an emergency, and how to make preparations during normal times.
We also hope that students and faculty and staff members without disabilities will read this handbook so that they can provide assistance to students with disabilities when needed.
