SUBJECT: Authorized Absences Granted to Students

Tokyo Tech will officially accept requests from students for authorized absences (effective 4th Quarter, 2019) as per the attached document. This comes in response to a proposal published in the 2018 Student Survey. The Office of Education and International Cooperation developed the necessary terms and conditions following careful deliberation and reference to procedures at other universities.
Note that authorized absences will be granted only when absolutely necessary. All other decisions will be made at the discretion of course instructors. There may be cases where authorized absences are not permitted due to the specific nature of the course.

Please refer to the following  for the procedure.
