Niigata University will combine face-to-face and non-face-to-face classes effectively for the first semester of AY 2022, keeping an eye on the infection situation of COVID-19, and the prevention measures taken by the Japanese government and Niigata Prefecture. We will strive to enhance the educational effectiveness and student life by conducting face-to-face classes as much as possible.

Points to Note

• We will notify you of the information, including how to conduct each class of the first semester for AY 2022, through Niigata University Syllabus Search and Student Web System. You will also receive notifications from your faculty and class instructor. We ask you to check the information carefully.
• Upon taking face-to-face classes, you are required to follow the instruction from your class instructor as well as to be responsible for your health management by wearing a mask and checking your body temperature.
• Please be noted that there might be changes in conducting classes, such as ceasing face-to-face classes depending on the situation of the infection.
• In case the coronavirus infections are confirmed on campuses and it becomes necessary to identify the persons who have had close contact with the infected person, we ask you to take a seat with a QR code when you attend classes, as it traces the information of classroom seating. When you enter and leave the lecture rooms, be sure to read the code with the smartphone app called “Mamoru Biz.”
• Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare recommends the use of "COVID-19 Contact-Confirming Application (COCOA)", which enables you to receive notifications about possibility of contact with someone infected with COVID-19. In order to install COCOA, please see HERE.
