Niigata University conducted non-face-to-face classes for the first semester of AY 2021 in principle, giving the first priority to the prevention and control measures against the novel coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19).

As of August, 2021, it is still uncertain when the situation about COVID-19 will be settled. As we continue to be under an unpredictable situation during the second semester for AY 2021, Niigata University will strive to enhance the educational effectiveness and student life by conducting face-to-face classes only in classes which need to be conducted face-to-face, while observing the future situation about the infection.
