Issuance of Certificates (Currently Enrolled Students)
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, students coming to the University to have a certificate issued are required to take appropriate preventive measures (wearing a face mask, disinfecting hands and so on).
Currently enrolled students may request the issuance of certificates free of charge; after graduation, you will be required to pay 500 yen per copy. However, students who go on to graduate school or from a master’s to doctoral course at the University within one year from graduation or course completion may have a graduation/enrollment certificate issued free of charge. Please note that issuing these certificates online via the University’s website (“Issuance of Certificates (Graduates)” page) costs 500 yen per copy in all cases.
