Eligibility

Requirements

1) The student is an international student residing in Japan and enrolled at Toyo University.

(regardless of whether expenses are government or privately paid, or if is during periods of

absence from school)

2) The student has completed international student registration procedures within the

period designated by the university.

3) The student is enrolled in a health insurance scheme (such as national health insurance).

・Rescue Expense Insurance (4,000,000 yen)

Premium Free (Insurance premiums are borne by the university.)

Effective Period The period of enrollment (Also applicable to periods of absence from school.)

3. Comprehensive Coverage for International Student Housing

Comprehensive coverage for international student housing consists of two components: overseas travel

insurance and a guarantor's compensation fund. This system provides coverage in the event of an

accident requiring compensation and alleviates financial burden on housing guarantors.

International students that enroll into this compensation plan may have the university act as a joint

guarantor (within the designated scope of compensation) when they are seeking housing. It should be

noted that premiums for this compensation plan are to be borne by the international student himself or

herself.

○ Compensation (joint guarantee) terminates when the student's "Student" status of residence ends or he or she becomes no

longer enrolled in the university due to graduation or withdrawal.

Recognition of Previously Earned Credits

For Transfers (hennyugaku or tennyugaku) to the Second Year

(1) Of credits that were earned at a university or other institution prior to transfer (hennyugaku or tennyugaku) to

Toyo University, Toyo University will recognize up to 32 credits as credits earned in the first-year subjects of its

Faculty of Global and Regional Development Studies.

(2) When it is deemed that subject credits earned prior to transfer (hennyugaku and tennyugaku) to Toyo

University match with the subject name, lecture content, number of credits, and other items in the Faculty of

Global and Regional Studies’ Curriculum Table, Toyo University will recognize credits individually for each

subject by matching the studied subjects with the subjects of the faculty.

(3) However, when subjects cannot be recognized individually as subjects of the Faculty of Global and Regional

Development Studies, the university will recognize the number of credits as a lump sum for each subject field.

(4) After transferring (hennyugaku or tennyugaku), students will earn the credits still needed to satisfy conditions of

starting graduation research as well as graduation requirements in accordance with the number of recognized

credits and course instruction in the department.

asked to submit a certificate of graduation (certificate of withdrawal) and academic transcript (issued on or after
