LastUpDate: March 06, 2020

In consideration of the recent outbreak of novel coronavirus, the University has made the difficult decision to cancel the Degree Awarding Ceremony for the 2019-2020 academic year which was scheduled on March 24, 2020 at U-Hall Shirasagi.

Instead, a diploma awarding will be held at each campus, which can be participated only by students who finished the courses. Further detail of the meeting will be announced later.

Further, in order to prevent the possible spread of infection, we kindly ask families and current students to refrain from visiting the campuses. Graduating students who have returned from certain country or area, or who have symptoms such as fever or cough are also requested to refrain from visiting campuses.  

It is with deep regret that we announce this, however, we appreciate your kind understanding and cooperation.
