From February 2019, as part of initiatives to promote diversity, the University is encouraging the inclusion of a notification text for those who require accommodations on promotional materials for lectures, events, etc. organized by the University, and the provision of reasonable accommodation upon request throughout the University.
Attendees who desire accommodations (PC speech-to-text interpretation; sign-language interpretation; guidance at venue; securing of seats), including those bringing children, should inform us at least three weeks before the date of the event. Upon consultation, we will accommodate your request to the greatest extent possible.
The following are examples of anticipated questions and how to accommodate. Please implement the following when organizing a lecture, event, etc. If you have uncertainties regarding accommodation, please consult with the Office for Promotion of Equality and Diversity. We will offer an accommodation method after inquiring about the request and the organizer’s circumstances.
For PC speech-to-text interpretation or sign-language interpretation for those with hearing disabilities, please complete the procedures outlined in the “Procedures for Requesting PC Speech-to-Text Interpretation or Sign-Language Interpretation Services (Japanese)”
