There is no school-wide system of excused absences from class, and all considerations related to attendance will be determined by your instructors. However, if you are unable to attend classes due to either a “Designated Infectious Disease” or a “Bereavement Leave,” your affiliated office can issue a “Notification of Absence.” However, attendance considerations will be determined by your instructors in each class, and therefore, submitting these documents does not guarantee that your absences will be excused.
For more information, please refer to the following pages:
◆Guidelines When Students are Diagnosed with Designated Infectious Diseases
◆Granting of Special Consideration to Students on Bereavement Leave
Due to University events or unavoidable circumstances of the instructors, classes may at times be cancelled. In such cases, an announcement will be posted on the CJL bulletin board and through My Waseda. Inquiries by telephone or email will not be answered. In addition, class cancellations may take place because of Tokyo metropolitan area transportation (JR and others) strikes or due to severe weather conditions.
If classes are cancelled, in principle, follow-up classes will be held afterwards.
Please follow your instructors’ directions in such cases.
