[Important]Guidelines for Student Conduct and Extracurricular Activities(revised as of June 22)
The Guidelines indicated above, issued on May 26, 2020, have been revised as detailed below. All students are reminded of their responsibilities as students of Tokushima University and are requested to act accordingly. 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 guidelines in due course.
1. Target period: For the time being
2. Safety Precautions
- (1)About prevention of infections
Although the first wave of infection is under control in Tokushima Prefecture, we must stay alert for the second wave of infection.
Avoid thoroughly the "Three Cs" (Closed spaces, Crowded places, Close-contact settings). Take measures related to health management (temperature measurement etc.) - (2)About moving out of the prefecture
The prohibition on travel to areas previously designated as prefectures under specific cautions is now lifted. Students who travel to these areas are not required to notify the educational affairs offices of their faculties.
With this in mind, individuals should consider whether or not it is appropriate for them to make a trip after fully checking the situation in the area of the destination, and take necessary infection prevention measures if they decide to make a trip.
However, students who receive education at medical care facilities should follow the instructions given by their facilities. - (3)About working part-time
Please refrain from part-time jobs that are considered to be problematic in terms of infection prevention, such as being unable to avoid the "Three Cs" (Closed spaces,Crowded places,Close-contact settings) and being instructed not to wear a mask.
The Student Support Association has a "student safe" system for financial support of students. It is a system where you can receive a loan of 100,000 yen (maximum) without interest. - (4)About meeting people
Please refrain from participating in welcome parties for new students and drinking parties with multiple people regardless of whether these parties are in restaurants or at home. - (5)About overseas travel
Please refrain from traveling overseas privately. If you return from abroad, you will be required of 14 days of self-isolation and observation of your physical condition.
3. Notes on extracurricular activities
- (1) Extracurricular activities
Extracurricular activities are totally prohibited, in principle.
However, students may engage in extracurricular activities if they take note of the following points and obtain permission in advance by filing an "application for resumption of extracurricular activities."
?Indoor activities
Indoor activities are permitted on condition of thoroughly taking infection prevention measures (e.g., avoid crowded spaces and close-contact settings, wash hands, gargle, and wear face masks), paying due attention to the health of participants, and dividing the participants into groups of the minimum necessary number of people. Do not participate in activities if you have a fever or any other symptoms.
When engaging in group activities such as music circle activities, keep a sufficient distance between participants, ventilate the rooms from time to time, and take measures (e.g., prohibiting talking during activities) to avoid the Three Cs.
?Outdoor activities
Outdoor activities are permitted on condition of thoroughly taking infection prevention measures (e.g., avoid crowded spaces and close-contact settings, wash hands, gargle, and wear face masks) and paying due attention to the health of participants.
If federations to which sports clubs are affiliated have guidelines for activities, the members of the clubs should fully check and comply with the guidelines. - (2) About events, etc.
When holding or participating in events and meetings which could involve a high risk of cluster infection due to closed spaces, crowded places and close-contact settings, thorough measures to prevent infection must be taken. Special caution is called for in the case of events and meetings requiring nationwide travel of participants.
If you hold or participate in an event, make sure to fill in an "event/meeting notification" and submit it to the Student Support Section no later than one week prior to the event, with a list of participants and an outline of the event.- ① Events hosted by student groups
For indoor events, the number of participants must be limited to 1,000 at maximum per event, filling 50% or less of the capacity; for outdoor events, the number of participants must be limited to 1,000 at maximum, with a sufficient distance (desirably 2m) secured between participants.
Events may be held as long as the number of participants can be controlled and their names and other information can be identified. - ② Contests and events hosted by other organizations
