TUAT Measures in Response to COVID-19

?

¡¡We are looking forward to a fresh start as we welcome another new year. However, unfortunately, the number of new positive cases of COVID-19 in Japan is on the rise. While keeping a close watch on the positive cases of COVID-19 and responses of the national/local governments, at TUAT, we would like to secure opportunities for interaction and communication among student themselves and among students and faculty/administrative staff members to a maximum extent. Furthermore, important university events such as graduation dissertation presentations/dissertation reviews and university entrance examinations will be held between January and March, so we must try to prevent occurrence of COVID-19 clusters, etc. on campus. Therefore, here we present the TUAT measures on university activities from January till the end of March.
¡¡We ask all students to continue to take thorough infection prevention measures and to ¡°protect yourself from infection and prevent infection transmission to others¡±.

• In general, lectures will be conducted face to face after thorough infection prevention measures are taken. However, please follow the policies of the Faculty/Graduate School you belong to.
• As we will be frequently posting up-to-date information on how the lectures or university events, etc. will be held at TUAT, please check the Google Classroom, Web Bulletin Board for students and TUAT website, etc.
• Laboratory activities can be carried out after thorough infection prevention measures are taken. However, please ensure to follow the policies of the Faculty/Graduate School you belong to.
• If there are students who wish to avoid commuting to university, etc. due to concerns on infection transmission, we will take account of their situation if possible. Please contact the education/student life committee or your supervisor/advising professor immediately.
• At each campus, infection prevention measures are taken and we are working to create a safe environment for study and research, where the students and researchers can pursue their study and research without much concern about the infection transmission, etc. Please cooperate in wearing non-woven masks, cleaning your hands and disinfecting your desks with alcohol, etc.
• Please take good care of your health. If you feel unwell, please refrain from attending university or going outside the house/residence, and consult a doctor first. If you have not been vaccinated for COVID-19 yet, we recommend that you consider getting vaccinated proactively.
