NoticesMon, 03 Mar 2025 09:00:00 +0900Important: Revision of Fees for Immigration Procedures
The Immigration Services Agency of Japan has announced that fees for immigration procedures, such as changing the status of residence and extending the period of stay, will be revised starting April 1, 2025.
Please refer to the list of revised fees in the file above.
Key Points
The revised fees will apply to applications received on or after April 1, 2025.
For applications received by March 31, 2025, the old fees will be charged, even if the permission or issuance of your residence card is granted after April 1.
Applications for the extension of the period of stay can be submitted up to 3 months before the expiry date of your residence card.
Many international students apply for an extension or change of residence status in March. Therefore, we prioritize applications based on the earliest expiry date of the residence card. This means that if you submit your application documents to the Office of International Students in mid-March or late March, there is a possibility that you may not be able to apply for the extension or change of residence status in March.
While we check your application documents, you must submit them in person at the immigration bureau.

For course registration, confirm in advance whether the courses for which you will register require general registration or advance registration.
Of particular note are the advance registration courses which will be provided in the autumn semester but whose application will be accepted even during the advanced registration period of March and April. Note that if the number of applicants reaches the capacity during this period, there will be no registration call during the advanced registration period of September.
2.Announcements on Classes
In addition to changes in class types, as mentioned above, details of the implementation online classes (e-learning) and combination of face-to-face and online classes will be announced through the message function of DUET between the completion of course registration and the first day of the relevant course. In addition, the faculty members in charge of the registered courses or other staff might contact you through the message function of DUET. In this regard, you should develop the habit of checking DUET frequently in order not to miss important information.
3.Changes in Class Types and Syllabuses
Depending on the course registration situation, the class types for courses are subject to change, and any such change might result in the revision of the syllabuses for the courses. In the case of a change in class type or syllabus, the faculty member in charge of the course will explain in class or via DUET message. If you wish to withdraw your application for the course due to such change, please complete the application withdrawal procedure within the above application withdrawal period. However, please note that even if you withdraw your application for a course, you cannot register for additional courses during the spring semester. (Please register for additional courses during the registration change acceptance period for autumn semester courses.)
Please note that depending on the future situation of novel coronavirus infections (COVID-19) and other factors, the class types and syllabuses might change even after application withdrawal.
Until Sunday, May 7, 2023, follow the flowchart of whether you are allowed to come to the campus. In case of attendance suspension, contact the university immediately in the manner indicated in the flowchart.
From Monday, May 8, 2023, the university will provide reasonable accommodations for students absent from classes or examinations due to COVID-19, as well as those with influenza (excluding avian influenza and pandemic influenza), so that they will not suffer disadvantage, as long as they have completed the designated procedure. Details of the procedure will be provided in the Consideration regarding Infectious diseases section at a later date.
*
In AY2022, we provided the following three types of students with reasonable accommodations for ensuring sufficient learning and taking examinations, but we will not do so in AY2023. If you need reasonable accommodations for your study, contact the Division of Student Diversity and Accessibility Support.
Students at high risk of serious complications due to an underlying condition or chronic illness, if infected with COVID-19
Students living together with family members at high risk of serious complications due to an underlying condition or chronic illness, if infected with COVID-19
Students who cannot enter Japan due to immigration restrictions
Infection Control Measures in Class
As an infection control measure, we set the capacity for each classroom at approximately 80% of its seating capacity. We will endeavor to ensure ventilation at the appropriate timing by installing a carbon dioxide meter in each classroom, opening classroom doors and windows, and operating ventilation equipment.
*
Wear a mask if necessary at your own discretion not only against COVID-19, but also against hay fever, colds, etc. You may be required to wear a mask during, for example, a class which involves speaking in a situation where social distancing cannot be ensured.
*
We will ensure that hand sanitizers remain available, for example, in the corridors in front of classrooms, so follow proper hand hygiene by using such sanitizers, washing your hands, or taking other appropriate measures.
*
If you are engaged in an off-campus activity as part of a regular curriculum, such as practical training, field work, or a seminar training camp, please observe the infection control manual or other guidelines set by the facility for that activity. If you travel to the facility by means of public transportation, act appropriately depending on the situation, such as wearing a mask in a crowded train.
6.Wi-Fi Study Rooms for Students
At the university, there are study rooms where Wi-Fi is available so that you can take online classes (e-learning) on campus in your spare time. (Existing classrooms are used for this purpose.) However, since each study room has only a limited number of seats, we cannot guarantee sufficient space for interactive (real-time) online classes to be provided in the designated time slots in accordance with the timetable. For the classrooms to be used as study rooms in the spring 2023 semester, check Announcements from University on DUET or the link below.
7.Announcements from University
The university will make announcements basically through Announcements from University on DUET, the Doshisha University Web Portal, or the websites of the university, your faculty/school/graduate school. Remember to check back frequently.
Depending on the spread of COVID-19 in the future, there might be a full switch to online classes (e-learning) even in the middle of the semester, in some cases, such as if the national government or Kyoto Prefecture take measures to strengthen their COVID-19 prevention measures.
*
Note: For classes provided by the Law School and the Graduate School of Business, separate notices will be released by the Law School Office and the Office of Graduate School of Business, respectively.
Classes for the spring 2023 semester begin on Saturday, April 8 in line with the academic calendar. Please continue to regularly check the Announcements from University on the Doshisha University Electronic Tutorial System (DUET), the Doshisha University Web Portal, the websites of the university and your faculty/school/graduate school, etc., in order not to miss any important information or necessary notices from the university.
For classes for the autumn 2023 semester, the necessary announcements will be made later before the classes for the semester begin.
1.Class Type for Each Course (Face-to-face/Online [e-learning]/Combination of Face-to-face and Online)
The following three types of classes are provided at the university: face-to-face; online (e-learning); and combination of face-to-face and online.
For the class types for courses available in the spring 2023 semester, please check the relevant syllabuses on or after Wednesday, March 15. If “face-to-face” is indicated on the syllabus of a course, the course is to be taken in a classroom.
Depending on the course registration situation, however, the class type is subject to change. (For example, there might be a switch from face-to-face to combination of face-to-face and online or to online learning [e-learning], or from combination of face-to-face and online to online [e-learning].) In case of such a change in the class type, the faculty member in charge of the relevant course or other staff will contact you through the message function of DUET. Be sure to check DUET during the period from the end of course registration to the first day of the relevant course.
