With a view to giving the first priority to enhance the educational effectiveness and the quality of student life, classes for the 2^nd semester AY2022 are to be conducted face-to-face in principle.

How to conduct classes:

Classes will be conducted face-to-face as a general rule; however, the classrooms seating of classes for G-code subjects, including Q-code subjects, are to be limited to around 80-percent of seating capacity, as the classes are mainly attended by freshman and sophomore, and conducted in a large classroom, which makes it difficult for class instructors and students to monitor the number of attendees.

Classes for G-code subjects, including Q-code subjects, at around 80-percent or more seating capacity are to be conducted non-face-to-face as a general rule; however, a hybrid style that combines both non-face-to-face and face-to-face measures might be adopted depending on the situation and other factors.

In case it is essential to enhance educational effects or it is difficult to take infection control precautions, the measures of non-face-to-face, or the combination of non-face-to-face and face-to-face classes will be adopted based on the decision by Dean of each Faculty or Graduate School.

Points to Note

• Classes conducted non-face-to-face from AY 2020 to AY 2022 due to the precautions against COVID-19 are to be treated as interview classes as an exceptional measure. The credits of the classes will not be counted in the limit of 60 credits, which is stipulated in University Establishment Standard in Article 60, Paragraph 2 of Niigata University Regulations.
