• Can I apply for more than one application type?
  Yes, if you meet the application qualifications.
• How many words do I have to write for my Application Essay?
  The Application Essay should be between approximately 400-500 words in English. Please make sure to read the question carefully and be specific in your answers.
• Are only applicants who have achieved or are above the standards of activity/achievement listed in the Undergraduate Application Handbook eligible to apply for the "Admissions by Activity Evaluation"?
  No, the standards listed in the Undergraduate Application Handbook is only a guide and is not a criterion for acceptance or rejection. For example, in the evaluation of activities in the field of sports, the size of the competition, position (role) within the group,etc will also be considered. If the applicant has achievements and accomplishments in more than one activity, the evaluation will be based on the combined achievements and accomplishments of multiple activities.
• Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, competitions and certification examinations, etc. have been cancelled or postponed. What should I do in such cases?
  If you wish to include in the “Extracurricular Activities Report”, information on competitions or qualification examinations that have been cancelled or postponed due to the spread of new coronavirus infection, please prepare and submit documents objectively showing that you were planning to participate in or had prepared for such competitions or qualification examinations, in addition to the fact that they have been cancelled or postponed.
• I studied abroad at a school in a foreign country during my high school. Is there an application type that allows students to take advantage of their overseas experience?
  Yes, "Admissions for Returnee Students" is designed for students with experience studying outside Japan (returnee students). You can also use "Admissions by Activity Evaluation" as this application type also evaluates international experiences such as study abroad. As both of these application types accept April and September admissions, you can choose the timing that best suits you.
• We would like to know about the required documents and preparations for the Admissions by Activity Evaluation.
  The high school transcript is one of the required documents for the application. Details of the documents required for application are listed on p. 43 of the Application Handbook. For the Admissions by Activity Evaluation, proof of activity is also required for the activities described in the Activity Report (Form B).2024 Enrollment Undergraduate Application Handbook >>
• Would an internship be counted as one of my activity achievements?
  The University is unable to answer whether or not this will be counted as an achievement in your activity appeal. Please use your own judgment and include this information in your activity report. If you have a certificate, you can include it in the report.
• Under the section on how to submit scores for English external certification tests as proof of English proficiency, it is written that for the Eiken S-CBT, you should upload a certificate of passing or a certificate of Eiken CSE score for the level you have passed. On the other hand, in the English Proficiency section of the Admissions for Activity Evaluation, it says that the score will be evaluated according to the EIKEN CSE2.0 score regardless of whether the applicant passes or fails the EIKEN S-CBT or EIKEN S-CBT. If the score of the failed EIKEN Level 1 is higher than the score of the passed EIKEN Level 2, is it correct to submit the score of the failed EIKEN Level 1?
  Thank you for your question. You are correct in your understanding. If your Eiken Level 1 score is higher, please submit that. (The test date must be after October 1, 2021 to be valid.)
