For classes/final examinations that have already started or about to start at the time of the issuance of the warning, the university will decide whether or not to cancel them with due consideration of the level of urgency of the warning.
An emergency warning is issued when the area concerned is in very dangerous situation. Students staying in the warned areas must immediately take necessary actions to protect themselves, regardless of the type of emergency warning. However, those who are on campus at the time of the issuance of the emergency warning should act as instructed by the university. Those who are at home or during commuting in an area where the emergency warning is issued should do what they consider is best to protect themselves.
If the warning is withdrawn and safety is confirmed, the rest of the classes for the day will be held according to “2.Time of withdrawal of warning and classes/final examinations start time,” except for cases where the university makes a separate announcement depending on the situation.
