   • Undergraduate exchange students need to take at least six classes per week for one semester to satisfy the requirements of their visa.
   • Graduate exchange students need to take at least one class.
3. Belonging to a graduate school, choose one of the two paths mentioned below:
   • Subject Study Path (for exchange students who wish to take Japanese language subjects, subjects related to Japan and a wide range of specialist subjects, rather than conducting research in their major field):
     • While the student will belong to a graduate school, they are permitted to take subjects at undergraduate and graduate level without restriction. However, they are required to take at least 6 subjects per semester including at least 1 subject in the graduate school to which they belong.
     • No research supervisor will be allocated to such students.
     • In the case that the graduate school a student wishes to enroll in does not accept “Subject Study Path” exchange students, then the student must either choose another graduate school or belong to an undergraduate faculty instead.
   • Research Focus Path (for exchange students who wish to focus on conducting research activities intheir major field):
     • A student will be accepted if allocation of a research supervisor, based on the contents of the submitted Research Plan, is deemed possible.
     • At the conclusion of their exchange, the student must submit a report outlining the results of their research.
     • The student must enroll in at least 1 subject in the graduate school to which they belong.
4. Undergraduate Exchange Students along with graduate exchange students who select the Subject Study Path must take at least 6 classes/semester (1 subject = 100 minutes/week, 600 minutes per week in total) to maintain eligibility for their student visa.
5. Graduate exchange students who select research focus path will need to spend more time on research activities and therefore do not have to follow the above rule. However, we request they register for at least 1 class in the graduate school to which they belong.

7. Insurance information

1. Exchange students who have been selected and granted institutional nomination by the university must submit their exchange admission application to the host university in accordance with the language requirement under which they were admitted (JLPT, IELTS, or TOEFL iBT).
   For example, students who obtained exchange eligibility based on JLPT results must apply to the host university’s regular exchange student program (i.e., courses taught in Japanese). Students who obtained exchange eligibility based on IELTS or TOEFL iBT results must apply to the host university’s English-taught exchange student program (usually English-taught courses offered by international or global studies faculties specifically for international students).
2. Exchange students who have been selected and nominated by the university may not request changes to the admission conditions after receiving admission approval from the host university, nor may they request to reapply under a different set of conditions if their exchange application is rejected by the host university (including, but not limited to, changing from a Japanese-taught program to an English-taught program). Any such cases will result in immediate cancellation of exchange eligibility and will be subject to penalties and fines.
3. If the host university offers two or more exchange student programs in different languages, the exchange quotas are calculated separately. Applications for exchange admission under different language requirements are also reviewed by different committees at the host university.
