About online registration for direct debit of tuition fees

Direct debit of tuition fees, etc. is the same as direct debit of electricity, gas, water, etc., in that tuition fees are transferred (withdrawn) from a pre-registered savings account on a specified date. You can transfer to the affiliated financial institution's website from our university's website and register a transfer account without a bank registration seal.
 
The bank transfer fee will be borne by the university, eliminating the need for financial supporters to bear bank transfer fees or go to a bank for transfer procedures.
You can register a transfer account online from your computer or smartphone.

Please check and prepare the following before registering online.
For those registering an account for the first time *Updated February 2, 2026

Q&A on direct debit of tuition fees etc.

Explanation of the direct debit method

  • 1. What is direct debit?
    Tuition fees will be automatically deducted from your savings account, similar to the automatic deduction of utility bills such as electricity bills. By registering your account and depositing tuition fees by the account transfer date, your tuition fees will be automatically paid during your time at the university. Please note that the university will cover any transfer fees.

Benefits of direct debit

  • 2. What are the benefits of direct debit?
    In the past, we received many comments such as "I don't have time to go to the counter of the financial institution during business hours", but with direct debit, you don't have to go to the counter of the financial institution every time you pay tuition. If you deposit money into your registered account at a time that is convenient for you, the money will be automatically debited on the direct debit date (tuition payment deadline), so you will not have to pay that burden. In addition, the direct debit withdrawal fee will be borne by the university.

Necessity of account registration

  • 3. Do I have to register my account every year?
    Once you have registered, you will not need to register again until graduation or completion unless there are any changes to the registered information.
    However, if you proceed to graduate school after graduating from your undergraduate program, you will need to register again using your graduate school student number.

Account Registration

  • 4. How do I register an account?
    A dedicated page will be set up on our university's website, where you can register from your computer or smartphone.
  • 5. Who is the financial sponsor?
    This person must be the person who will pay the tuition fees that have been reported to the university (either the guarantor (parents, etc.) or the student) and who will be the account holder to be registered.
  • 6. Should the student's name be the registered account?
    If the student has registered with the university as their financial supporter, please register the student's own bank account. If another person (parent, etc.) has been registered as the guarantor, please register the account of that person.
  • 7. What do I need to register?
    The following information is required for the online account registration procedure. Please have it ready in advance.
    ① Student number ② Student name ③ Name of financial supporter as registered with the university ④ Telephone number (mobile or home) as registered with the university
    You will need to enter your PIN, date of birth, etc. on the website of the financial institution you are registering with. The items you need to enter will vary depending on the financial institution, but please rest assured that this information will not be provided to the university at all.
  • 8. Why do I need to enter the following four pieces of information: 1) Student number, 2) Student name, 3) Name of financial supporter as registered with the university, and 4) Phone number (mobile phone or home) as registered with the university?
    This is to verify that the person registering is the person in question by comparing the information held by our university.
  • 9. Do I need to register my bank account to receive the refund etc.?
    If you received a tuition fee reduction or exemption under the New Tuition Support System while enrolled, you were required to notify the university of a separate bank account so that refunds and other payments could be transferred to it. However, if you select this option in advance, you will no longer need to notify the university of your bank account.
  • 10. I would like to change the account I have already registered (while keeping the account name the same).
    Please register your online account again during the account registration period. Payments will be debited from the last registered account. The account registration procedure can be completed from the account registration screen that will be opened around February to March (first term tuition) and July to August (second term tuition).
  • 11. I would like to change the account name (account holder) that I have already registered.
    You need to change your tuition payer. Please apply for the change via the Osaka Institute of Technology of Technology Portal Site. You cannot change your tuition payer on the account registration screen.
  • 12. If the name registered with the university and the account holder are different (e.g. one of them is a maiden name), can I not register?
    The name of the financial supporter and the account holder must be the same.
    Please consider opening an account in the same name as the name registered with the university, or matching the name registered with the university to the account name.
  • 13. When will I know the amount to be debited?
    For those eligible for automatic bank transfer, a URL for checking transfer instructions will be sent to UNIPA (student and parent account registered). Details of tuition fees are posted here , so you can check the required amount in advance. Furthermore, if you are receiving a scholarship or tuition fee reduction, you will be notified separately.
  • 14. I am a new student. Do I need to register an account?
    For new students, the first semester tuition fee (for those enrolling in September, the second semester) is paid when you complete the enrollment procedure. We will then send you instructions on how to register before you pay the second semester tuition fee for the year you enrolled (for those enrolling in September, the first semester of the following year).

Direct debit information inquiry

  • 15. How can I inquire about my account transfer information?
    Those eligible for direct debit will receive a URL to inquire about the transfer instructions to UNIPA (the student and parent account holder).

If you are receiving a scholarship or tuition exemption, you will be notified separately.
  • 16. What do I need to enter to authenticate my direct debit instructions?
    Please enter the following three items for authentication.
    ・Student ID number (6 or 9 digits)
    ・Student name in furigana (either full-width or half-width, with or without spaces)
    - Date of birth (8 digits, e.g. April 5, 2006 ⇒ 20060405)

    You will not be able to log in outside of the publication period. (The error message "Authentication failed" will be displayed.)
  • 18. I have registered a Japan Post Bank account, but the branch name (number) listed on the direct debit information is incorrect.
    For system processing purposes, only the middle three digits of the bankbook code (5 digits) will be displayed. This will not affect account transfers.
    (example)
    ● Branch number listed on the account transfer notice [234]
    ●Bankbook code (5 digits) [12340]

Financial institutions

PIN

  • 20. I am worried about entering my PIN number and other details on a financial institution's website.
    The PIN number and other information entered on the financial institution's website is required by the financial institution to verify your identity. Please rest assured that this information will never be provided to the university.

Withdrawal

  • 21. When will tuition fees be debited from my account?
    The tuition fee payment deadline, which is also the account transfer date (May 27th for the first semester, October 27th for the second semester [or the next business day if that day falls on a bank holiday]). Around the 20th of the transfer month, a URL for checking the transfer information will be sent to UNIPA (student and parent account registered users) of those eligible for the account transfer.
  • 22. It seems that the payment was not withdrawn due to insufficient funds. What should I do?
    If the payment cannot be withdrawn on the day the account is transferred (tuition payment deadline), a notice of re-transfer will be sent and the payment will be withdrawn again one month after the tuition payment deadline (payment grace period deadline). Please note that if the payment cannot be withdrawn on the re-transfer date, you will be expelled according to the school regulations.
    In case of such an occurrence, please check your balance in advance by the day before the direct debit date.
  • 23. I would like to confirm whether the money was debited.
    Please check your bankbook. The school fees for this university will be listed as "SMBC (Koudai Gakuhi)" in the bankbook summary section.
    *Japan Post Bank does not include "SMBC (" at the beginning of the summary column.
  • 24. Can I make a full payment (paying both the first and second semesters at once) by debit?
    Due to the convenience of the bank transfer system, tuition fees will be deducted twice a year, once for the first semester (in May) and once for the second semester (in October). If you have the tuition fees for the first and second semesters in your bank account, there is no need to follow any procedures each time a payment is made, so please rest assured.
  • 25. Am I correct in thinking that once I register my account, all payments to the university will be made by direct debit?
    It will only be used for direct debit of tuition fees (please note that in exceptional cases, even for direct debit of tuition fees, you may be required to use a transfer slip).
  • 26. If I want to change my transfer account after receiving the URL for checking the account transfer information from UNIPA, can I still change it even if the account registration period has passed?
    Once UNIPA receives the URL for checking the account transfer information, the withdrawal data will be sent to the financial institution, so the transfer account cannot be changed. You will need to register your account again during the next account registration period.
    If you are having trouble withdrawing money from your registered account, please adjust your account balance to a lower amount than the amount being withdrawn, and then contact the Accounting Department. (Note)

Withdrawal and tuition fee reduction application

  • 27. I have applied for a tuition fee reduction under the new academic support system, but the decision has not yet been made. Will the money still be deducted?
    If you apply for a tuition fee reduction under the new academic support system, you will be deferred from paying tuition fees until the decision is made. However, if you apply for a tuition fee reduction after the bank transfer notice has been sent, the tuition fee before the reduction will be deducted. If you are unsure, please make sure your account balance is less than the amount to be deducted (note). If the amount is deducted, the difference will be refunded according to the amount of the reduction that will be determined at a later date (if the reduction is approved).

Withdrawals, leave of absence and withdrawal applications

  • 28. I have applied for a leave of absence or withdrawal. In that case, will tuition fees be deducted?
    ① If you apply for leave of absence by the deadline (first semester: end of April, second semester: October 5th), tuition fees and other fees will be deducted from your account. If you are applying for withdrawal, your account transfer data will be deleted.
    ② If you apply after the deadline for application for leave of absence or withdrawal (first semester: end of April, second semester: October 5th) and before the tuition payment deadline (first semester: May 27th, second semester: October 27th), the regular tuition fee amount will be deducted from your account.
    In this case, if you set the balance of your account to be less than the amount to be debited, the money will not be debited. (Note) If the money is debited, the prescribed tuition fees will be refunded (excluding registration fees in the case of a temporary absence).
(Note) Please note that if an automatic loan service (automatically borrowing the shortfall when the current savings account balance is insufficient) is applied to your account, an automatic direct debit will be carried out.
