About commuting

Commuting to Omiya Campus, Umeda Campus

School commuter pass

A student commuter pass is a commuter pass with a special discount for students to use for commuting to school. Therefore, the commuting distance is the shortest distance from your current address to the university. If you use a student commuter pass to commute to school, you must always carry your student ID card and show it whenever requested by a staff member.
You can purchase a student commuter pass by filling out the necessary information on the application form available at the station and submitting it at the station counter along with your student ID. (However, the purchasing method may differ depending on the station.) Be sure to fill in the shortest distance from your current address to the university in the commuting distance section on the back of your student ID. Each transportation company stipulates that the shortest distance is the distance for which a student commuter pass can be purchased.
Please note that purchasing tickets for any route other than the shortest route is considered fraudulent. If fraudulent use is discovered, not only will you have to pay three times the normal fare as a retroactive penalty, but you will also cause great inconvenience to other students at the university.
 
If you change your commute route, please update the back of your student ID card at the Welfare Division, the Faculty of Faculty of Robotics and Design Office, or the Faculty of Information Science and Technology Office. If you are changing your commute route due to a change of address, please apply for a change of student registration information in advance on UNIPA (smartphone site) and then visit the division or office after changing your address.
Please see here for how to change it.

 
*Commuter passes are not available to non-degree students (research students, non-degree students, etc.).

Commuting to school by car or motorcycle is completely prohibited

At the Omiya Campus of the Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Intellectual Property(hereinafter referred to as the "Omiya Campus") and the Umeda Campus of the Faculty of Robotics and Design(hereinafter referred to as the "Umeda Campus"), students are completely prohibited from commuting to the university by car or motorcycle (including the prohibition of commuting from home to the nearest station by car or motorcycle). However, permission may be granted upon application only in cases where students have a severe physical disability or wish to commute by car or motorcycle due to a severe injury, etc.
The total ban on students commuting to school by car or motorcycle (including a ban on commuting from home to the nearest station by car or motorcycle) is due to the following reasons:

  1. There is public transportation (subway, train, bus) to the Omiya and Umeda campuses, so commuting to school is not inconvenient.
  2. Because the Omiya and Umeda campuses are located in urban areas, parking and bicycle parking spaces are extremely limited.
  3. The living environment of the surrounding residents is deteriorating due to nuisance parking, motorcycle noise, etc.
  4. There have been accidents involving students of our university riding motorcycles that have resulted in deaths and partial paralysis.

Please understand the purpose of the above "total ban on commuting to school by car or motorcycle" (including the ban on commuting from your home to the nearest station by car or motorcycle), and as members of the university community, you must feel responsible for not causing trouble to local residents and strictly adhere to the "absolutely not commuting to school by car or motorcycle" (including the ban on commuting from your home to the nearest station by car or motorcycle). This is also in order to protect student life from traffic accidents.
The university is also a member of society and naturally bears social responsibilities. Therefore, please understand that students who engage in illegal or nuisance parking without being aware of their responsibilities as members of the university will be subject to disciplinary action (reprimand or suspension) in accordance with the university rules.
Please note that at the Omiya Campus, security guards provide guidance on the roads around the university, and check for illegal and nuisance parking and motorcycle parking, and if illegal and nuisance parking is found while traveling near the university, or if a car or motorcycle lent to someone else is found to be parked illegally or nuisance (owner's responsibility), you will be subject to disciplinary action. (If you are forced to commute to school by car or motorcycle due to a serious injury, please consult the Student Affairs Division or the Faculty of Robotics and Design Office.)

Please remember that students of the Faculty of Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Robotics and Design, and Faculty of Intellectual Property are required to submit a "Pledge Regarding Commuting to School (regarding the strict prohibition of commuting by car or motorcycle)" jointly signed by the student and guarantor upon enrollment!

Certificate Issuance (for current students)

Various notification forms

Procedures for taking a leave of absence, withdrawing, transferring departments, etc.

Leave of absence

If a student is forced to be absent for an extended period due to illness or other unavoidable reasons, he/she may take a leave of absence until the end of the relevant term or year.
To take a leave of absence, you must submit the application form, along with a document certifying the reason (such as a medical certificate) and your student ID card, to the Dean of the Faculty (Dean of the Graduate School) via the Academic Affairs Office, the Faculty of Faculty of Robotics and Design Office, or the Faculty of Information Science and Technology. In addition, a leave of absence may be permitted for up to two consecutive years (four semesters) only if there is a special reason.
The period of leave of absence cannot exceed a total of four years (eight semesters) (for graduate school, two years (four semesters) for master's programs and professional degree programs, and three years (six semesters) for doctoral programs) and is not to be counted towards the years of enrollment.

Returning to school

If a student on a leave of absence wishes to return to school, they must submit the required application form, along with documents certifying their ability to return to school, during the required period to the Dean of the Faculty (or Graduate School) via the Academic Affairs Office, the Faculty of Faculty of Robotics and Design Office, or the Faculty of Information Science and Technology Office.
If you do not submit your application within the aforementioned period, you will be considered to have no intention of returning to school and will be expelled.
When you return to school, you will be in the same year as when you took the leave of absence. However, if you take a semester off for two consecutive academic years in the same academic year, you will be able to advance to a higher grade after returning to school as long as you have been enrolled for a total of one year, regardless of the semester you were enrolled in.

Withdrawal

If you wish to withdraw from school due to illness or other unavoidable reasons, you must fill out the required application form, attach your student ID card, and submit the request to the President via the Academic Affairs Office, the Faculty of Faculty of Robotics and Design office, or the Faculty of Information Science and Technology office.

Re-enrollment

If a student who has been expelled or dropped out (i.e., a student who has not paid tuition fees by the designated date or who has not applied for reinstatement upon the expiration of his/her leave of absence) wishes to re-enroll, he/she may do so within two academic years, including the year of his/her withdrawal or dropout (however, this does not apply to students with special circumstances), by submitting the designated application form with the examination fee to the President between March 1st and March 6th via the Academic Affairs Division, the Office of the Faculty of Faculty of Robotics and Design, or the Office of the Faculty of Information Science and Technology.
However, if March 6th is a holiday, the deadline will be the following day.

Our university has a system for transferring faculty (to another faculty) and department (to another department), and students can apply within the following range.
 
(Transfer) To the second year of another faculty
(Transfer of department) To the second year of another department
 
In principle, transfers to other departments or majors are only possible if there are vacancies in the department or faculty you are applying to, so you may not necessarily be granted permission to do so as desired.
In addition, there are no exams for transferring departments or majors, and admission is determined based on academic performance during enrollment, so applicants are particularly required to study diligently.
Applicants for transfer to another faculty or department should submit the designated application form with the examination fee to the Academic Affairs Division, the Faculty of Faculty of Robotics and Design Office, or the Faculty of Information Science and Technology Office by the designated date at the end of each academic year. Details of the procedure will be announced on the portal site etc. from mid- to late January.
