Dear All Students,Takanori Ueda
President of the University of Fukui
Classes after the Winter BreakCOVID-19 is still rampant around the world, and the situation continues to beunpredictable in Japan as the cold season approaches. I expect that all of you are working
hard on your studies, taking measures to prevent infection.
As for the class policy for the fall semester, it has already been announced (September 9thand October 9th). The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology(MEXT) has continued to request all universities to consider offering face-to-face lectures,
which could be considered the most appropriate way, after taking infection prevention
measures, and the university is also working hard to increase face-to-face contact
opportunities.
Despite the rapid increase in the number of confirmed cases across the country, there will
be more opportunities to travel back home and gather together during the winter break. In
addition, the Coming of Age ceremony is scheduled on around January 11th. There will beincreased opportunities to get infected for students. Also, university entrance exams arescheduled on January 16th (Sat.) and 17th (Sun.).
Based on the situation mentioned above, the University of Fukui will basically hold allclasses via the Internet from January 5th (Tue.) to 14th (Thu.) after the winter break, and wewill resume face-to-face lectures as before from January 18th (Mon.). However, at the School ofMedical Sciences, all classes will be offered via the Internet from January 5th (Tue.) to 22nd(Fri.), and face-to-face lectures will be resumed as before from January 25th (Mon.).
Please note that the systems are slightly different, depending on each school, so you should
see the details of each school below;【Classes of Each School after the Winter Break】
