If the compensation claim amount (amount received as the compensation) exceeds 100,000 yen or if you have physical impediment, submit the “(6) Medical Certificate (original or photocopy)” prepared by your doctor.
For information regarding the compensation claim amount, refer to “Paid compensation types and amounts” and “Calculation example for the number of treatment days/compensation claim amount.” The final compensation amount shall be determined by the university.
If the compensation claim amount (amount received as the compensation) is 100,000 yen or less and if you do not have physical impediment, the indemnitee (student himself/herself) must fill out the specified “(4) Treatment Report” in their own writing, seal it, and submit it along with the “(5) Receipts issued by the medical institute (original or photocopy)”.

The Student Affairs Section shall check the above documents and calculate the compensation amount.

After the calculation is completed, the university shall ultimately finalize the compensation amount. The compensation shall be transferred to the “account under the student’s name” by the university in principle. It normally takes approximately 3 months before the payment is made. However, this shall not apply to cases in which we conduct investigations with the hospital and the police for a major accident or documents are incomplete, etc.

We may also conduct investigations, site check, etc. depending on the details.
