(Aim of the System for Extending the Period of Registration)
With the aim of further increasing opportunities for diverse students to learn, the system allows a student to follow a degree program in a planned manner when they apply to complete the program over an extended period of time (Master’s program: three or four years, Doctoral program: four or five years) rather than the standard years after an individual review.

(Eligible applicants)

(1) Having an occupation
(2) Needing to take care of family members, such as children or the elderly
(3) Having a disability
(4) Any other person when it is considered that there is a justifiable reason to apply
