・ It is also possible to reserve and allocate the paid tuitions and fees for the payment of tuitions and fees at the time of your postponed entrance to the University. If you wish to do so, please inform us. Also, please be acknowledged that if there is any change in the amount of tuitions and fees at the time of the postponed entrance, the remaining balance may be subject to additional payment.

2. Payment of tuitions if the application for permission to defer enrollment is accepted:
If the application for permission to defer enrollment is accepted, you will have to pay the tuitions applicable to the semester you postpone to.
(ex.) If you postpone your entrance to April 2012, you will have to pay the tuitions for new students of April 2012.
3. If you have been admitted into a scholarship program:
・ Please talk to the administrative office of your graduate/undergraduate school.
4. If you have been admitted to enter a student dormitory:
・ If you have been admitted to reside in our student dormitory from April, you can move in the dormitory, regardless of changes to commence classes from May. However, the moving-in date will be rescheduled according to the commencement date of the classes (or freshman guidance). Further details about the dormitory fee for this period will be announced later.
・ Basically, if you postpone your entrance to September 2011 or April 2012, your eligibility for the dormitory will lapse. Please apply again when we start accepting applications from new students of September AY2011 (scheduled around mid July 2011).
