Policy for Conducting Classes for Academic Year 2020 (revised as of May 27)
The policy indicated above, which was revised on May 15, 2020, has been further revised as detailed below.
We maintain Level 1 of our Business Continuity Plan (BCP) in light of the BCP level of Tokushima Prefecture (reviewed every three weeks). In order to secure the health and safety of students, faculty members and other staff, it is absolutely necessary to take measures to prevent the spread of infection. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
We will consider our future response while being on alert concerning the status of outbreak, and will announce any revision to the policy in due course.
Target period: Until the University's BCP level becomes Level 0.
1. Classes
(1)From Monday, June 1, until the University's BCP level becomes Level 0, remote classes, etc.* will be recommended, and face-to-face classes will be conducted depending on the situation and characteristics of each faculty and graduate school, after taking thorough infection prevention measures. Please follow instructions from the institute of Liberal Arts and Sciences and your faculty or graduate school.
* "Remote classes, etc." refers to all forms of classes other than face-to-face ones, such as the delivery of teaching materials and the submission of assignments via Teams, Zoom, a live broadcasting system, manaba, etc. using a web environment.
(2) For students who do not have a sufficient web environment, we can provide classrooms where a web environment and infection prevention measures have been put in place. For more information, please see the maps on the website, “Wi-Fi and PC-installed Areas,Infection Prevention Measures in Place.”
2. Instructions for taking classes
(1)Always wear a facemask when you come to campus.
(2)Refrain from gathering with others in the situation where the Three Cs (closed spaces, crowded places, and close-contact settings) cannot be avoided.
(3)After class, do not stay long on campus but go home and prepare for or review your classwork.

(5)Take thorough infection prevention measures, such as disinfecting your hands and following the cough etiquette.
(6)Always be attentive to the information published by the University and act appropriately.
(7)Refrain from travel to areas previously designated as prefectures under specific cautions.*
When you travel to areas previously designated as prefectures under specific cautions due to unavoidable circumstances, notify the educational affairs office of your faculty in advance and without fail. If there is any special rule decided depending on the situation and characteristics of your faculty, etc., please follow such rule.
If a state of emergency is declared again in the future, and a need to travel to these areas arises, notify the educational affairs office of your faculty in advance and without fail, and stay home for 14 days after returning to Tokushima Prefecture to check your physical conditions.
* Areas previously designated as prefectures under specific cautions: Hokkaido, Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa
(8)If you have any health problems during the period until the university's BCP level becomes Level 0, please notify the educational affairs office of your faculty and act in accordance with the “Measures concerning the Novel Coronavirus (for Students).
(9)If students are unable to attend remote classes, etc. or face-to-face classes for reasons such as being required to stay home to check their physical conditions or being infected with COVID-19, they will not be treated as being absent from classes but will be provided with opportunities to take classes by alternative means, such as taking makeup classes, submitting assignments, and watching videos of classes, so that they will be able to earn credits. If you are in such a situation, please notify the educational affairs office of your faculty.
(10)In principle, we will send notices on classes and other matters to students via the “Course Management” system. Please register, check or update your telephone number, mobile phone number, and email address on the system.
