Partial amendment

To all students:

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Response Headquarter,
Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT)

From Monday, June 15, campus entry restrictions were lifted

?On May 25, the Japanese Government lifted the state of emergency in response to the novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) in all prefectures including the special alert prefectures; and on June 19, the government relaxed its recommendation against non-essential travel including that on cross-prefectural travel. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government as well lifted its business-closure request for almost all sectors from June 19. However, the spread of COVID-19 has not come to an end yet. For the time being, continued efforts are required to prevent the further spread of the virus.

?At TUAT, from Monday, June 15, the campus entry restrictions were lifted to allow students to attend school; and the classrooms, libraries, student welfare facilities, etc. have become/will become available for use step by step whilst taking infection prevention measures to avoid the three conditions (3 Cs) that facilitate the transmission of infectious disease (closed spaces, crowds, and close contact), etc.. All TUAT students should be aware of the policies of the faculty/graduate school/laboratory you belong to; the guidelines provided by the national and related local governments; as well as the contents of TUAT¡¯s Notice and Code of Conduct posted on the TUAT website on April 7. We request that our students take actions not to spread the infection, such as protecting themselves from the virus and preventing infection transmission to others.

• Acting with utmost caution not to lead to infection transmission and being aware of the latest information on the face-to-face lecture being conducted, prepare your study environment, such as coming to Tokyo from your parents¡¯ house.
• In the University and in its faculty/graduate school/laboratory facilities, we are taking infection control measures, and accordingly where possible, face-to-face lectures in classrooms have begun.
  
  
• For those who wish not to come to Tokyo or not to come to school due to concerns on infection, we will take account of the situation if possible such as by communicating with the student online and sending lecture video clips to the student. Please contact the student committee or your supervisor/advising professor.
  
  
• TUAT¡¯s correspondence for lectures in the first quarter (until July 31) and second quarter (August 17 - September 30) is as follows. Please check the WEB Bulletin Board or TUAT website, etc. regularly.

• Extra-curricular activities can be resumed after the campus entry restrictions are lifted, with the approval of the professor in charge of the activity, and if a "Request for Extracurricular Activities" is submitted to the office of the department and approved. However, please be sure to avoid the three conditions (3 Cs), such as by postponing new student welcome parties.
