As a student, you must be experiencing physical and mental discomfort in various aspects of life and schoolwork. We have many ways to assist you with your class activities and also to provide you financial support or mental care. We keep updating our Campusmate Student Portal to bring you all the important information as the situation with the novel coronavirus changes.
As we adapt to the "new normal" brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, Kyushu University has formulated the "Student Safety and Security Plan With & Beyond COVID-19" to ensure our students can study with peace of mind. As we enter the fall and winter terms of 2020–2021, we must remain wary of the current situation and devise new ways to secure learning opportunities while ensuring infection prevention. We are committed to maintaining excellence and the highest standards through a hybrid approach of distance learning and in-person classes on the assumption that some students may not be able to come to campus due to issues related to COVID-19.
We are implementing measures to provide immediate support to students whose parents’ worsened economic situation or decreased income due to the coronavirus has a major impact on their lives.
We will grant an immediate exemption for those affected students who are not eligible for the “New system for study support” of MEXT/JASSO but otherwise meet the tuition exemption criteria of the University. (For undergraduates and graduates, including international students.)
We will grant 30,000 yen per person on an application basis to those students whose parents have been seriously affected and need financial support in the current situation. (For undergraduates and graduates, including international students.)
Please see the link below for the support means and special fixed benefit payments provided by MEXT/JASSO.
