Study Guide
Support Anywhere: Application / Change Procedures
Please check the Study Guide for the actual amount of tuition and fees.
The amount differs depending on your year of entry and student status. Please make sure to check the applicable Study Guide for your own tuition and fees.
The Study Guide is available from Study Guide.
Basic Payment Method
Tuition and fees are, in principle, paid by automatic debit transfer.
Please note that even if you have already registered a student’s personal bank account, tuition and fees will not be debited from that account.
For payment of tuition and fees, you must separately register a tuition payment account.
Registration of a Tuition Payment Account
In principle, the tuition payment account should be registered through the University’s online procedure.
At IPS, students may also be able to receive guidance on the registration procedure at the office using a cash card.
If you are unsure how to complete the registration, please contact the IPS Office.
Payment Schedule
As stated in the Study Guide, the usual payment schedule is as follows.
Regular students
- In the case of automatic debit transfer
Spring Semester: May 5
Fall Semester: October 5 - In the case of payment by payment slip
Spring Semester: April 15
Fall Semester: October 1
* If the scheduled date falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment will be processed on the next business day.
For Students Enrolled Beyond the Standard Number of Years
Students enrolled beyond the standard number of years have a different payment schedule from regular students.
Students enrolled beyond the standard number of years

For students enrolled beyond the standard number of years, tuition and fees may be handled differently depending on the applicable conditions.
Please be sure to check the relevant section of the Study Guide for details. The Study Guide is available from Study Guide.
If You Wish to Pay Online
If you wish to pay online, for example by remitting money from overseas, please contact the IPS Office in advance.
After confirming your situation, we will provide the necessary guidance.
If You Wish to Pay by Payment Slip
If payment by automatic debit transfer is difficult for unavoidable reasons, payment by payment slip is also possible.
However, the University requests students to use automatic debit transfer as the general rule, so please consider registering a tuition payment account first.
Changing Your Student’s Personal Bank Account
Your student’s personal bank account is the account used by the University when money is transferred to you, such as scholarships or refunds.
This is different from the tuition payment account used for payment of tuition and fees.
If you wish to register or change your student’s personal bank account, please log in to MyWaseda and proceed from “Check / Change Personal Information” in the left-hand menu.
For detailed instructions, please refer to Support Anywhere: Application / Change Procedures.
Changing Your Address or Phone Number
If you need to change your address or phone number, please log in to MyWaseda and submit the change through “Check / Change Personal Information” → “Change Student Basic Information”.
Your address information is used not only for postal mail, but also for matters such as the sticker on the back of your student ID card and commuting-related procedures.
If you move or if your registered address changes, please update it promptly.
For detailed instructions, please refer to Support Anywhere: Application / Change Procedures.
Changes Related to the Tuition Payer or Tuition Payment Account
If you need to change the address or phone number of the tuition payer, or if you need to make a change related to the tuition payment account, a procedure different from the ordinary address change may be required.
If you are not sure which procedure applies to your case, please first check
Support Anywhere: Application / Change Procedures
and then contact the IPS Office.
If You Have Difficulty Making the Payment
As stated in the Study Guide, students who fail to pay tuition and fees may lose their student status.
If you are concerned about making the payment, or if it may be difficult for you to pay by the deadline, please contact the IPS Office before the due date.
Request from the IPS Office
