V. Education under special exception regarding educational
systems pursuant to Article 14 of the Standards for Establishmentof Graduate Schools(Special exception for graduate education for professional
engineers and researchers)
In recent years, professional engineers, researchers, and the like are increasingly feeling the needfor continued education or refresher training, as well as doctoral degrees offered by graduate schools.
Unfortunately, their opportunities to pursue graduate education based on standard systems arelimited because they need to leave their work at least for 2 years to complete master's programs and3 years to complete doctoral programs.
Meanwhile, Article 14 of the Standards for Establishment of Graduate Schools (Ordinance by the
MEXT) stipulates that "education can be conducted by organizing courses and research guidance atnight, during specific hours or periods, or in other appropriate manners if a need for special
arrangements in graduate programs is recognized." According to the special consideration forstudies by professionals in this article, special exceptions in educational systems have been put inplace for professional engineers and researchers pursuing studies at our graduate schools.
The rules are as follows:(1) In principle, students must study on campus full time for one year as part of a 2-year
master's program and a 3-year doctoral program.
(2) Special courses are organized during evenings (5:50 p.m.–7:20 p.m.) on weekdays,
although students may attend courses offered during any time period including the day.
(3) During the one-year period of full-time study in a master's program and focusing on
master's research, a student should plan their program so that the necessary credits can beacquired in evening courses (5:50 p.m.–7:20 p.m.). During this period, students should takecourses during the day only when they are not offered in the evening.
(4) When preparing to enroll, seek guidance from your supervisor and make a plan to study for
2 years in a master's program and 3 years in a doctoral program.
(5) If it is impossible to complete your field of study in the defined course term due to yourwork, you should consider an extended plan with 3–4 years of master's study and 4–5 yearsof doctoral study.
(6) Gain approval each time you change your study plan by using the special exception.
By applying the abovementioned special exception, our Graduate School of Engineering Science
makes it possible for professionals to limit the period they have to leave their jobs to one year. In
this manner, we seek to provide opportunities for engineers and other professionals who have foundit difficult to pursue continued or refresher training through graduate studies in normal education
systems. We flexibly approve research topics including practical research by companies as long as
they are deemed appropriate for master's and doctoral research. This is because another purpose of
the special exception is to contribute to the advancement of new science and technologies bystimulating exchange between our university and industry through admitted professionals.

VI. Students with extended enrollment status
Students with extended enrollment status are those who were approved to complete their studies
according to a certain plan for a period longer than the standard duration for completing master's
programs (2 years) and doctoral programs (3 years), in consideration of their employment and othercircumstances.
Unlike other students, students who are granted extended enrollment status can complete theirstudies, regardless of the duration, for the same tuition charged for the standard duration forcompleting master's programs (2 years) and doctoral programs (3 years).
1. Eligibility
Eligibility for the extended enrollment status is granted to successful applicants who pass a special
screening of professionals who intend to remain employed after admission.
2. Application procedure
Use the following procedure to apply for extended enrollment status. Beware that failure to
perform any of the following steps leads to disqualification from the review.
(1) Before application
State your intention to apply for the extended enrollment status when you contact yourdesired supervisor.
(2) During application
Select the check box for extended enrollment status on your application for admission.
(3) During admission procedures
In order to apply for extended enrollment status, submit documents (i) and (ii) during youradmission procedure.
(i) Application for extended enrollment status (Annexed Form 1 to be provided along withother documents for the admission procedures only to those who properly performed steps(1) and (2))(ii)

Employment certificate or another document to prove your current employment(iii) Submit these documents between Friday, September 6– Thursday, September 12, 2024
(Admission in October) or between Wednesday, March 5 and Monday March 10 2025
(Admission in April) (no exceptions) along with other admission documents to the
Graduate School of Engineering Science Section.
3. Decision on status
Application documents are reviewed to make a decision on the status applied for. The applicant
is notified of the decision in mid- October (Admission in October) or mid-April (Admission in
April).
4. Enrollment period
Students with extended enrollment status may study at master's programs for more than 2 years
and 3 months up to 4 years and at doctoral programs for more than 3 years and 3 months up to 6
years.
－47－

Studies can be completed every March, June, September, and December. Specify the planned
month and year for completing your studies on your application for extended enrollment status.
5. Annual tuition
Annual tuition for students with extended enrollment status is calculated by multiplying thestandard annual tuition by the standard number of years for completing a program, then dividing itby the number of years of enrollment.
(Example calculation 1) Three years of master's study by an applicant granted with the extended
enrollment status
535,800 yen(Standard
annualtuition)×

2 years/
3 years(Standard(Approved
duration of
period ofmaster's
study)
programs)= 357,200 yen(Annual tuition forstudents with extended
enrollment status)(Example calculation 2) Five years of doctoral study by an applicant granted with the extended
enrollment status
535,800 yen(Standard
annual tuition)×
3 years /(Standard duration of
doctoral programs)

5 years(Approved
period of study)= 321,480 yen(Annual tuition for students
with extended enrollment
status)

6. Shortening enrollment period
Students with extended enrollment status can shorten their enrollment period.
In order to shorten your enrollment period, submit an "Application for shortening the enrollment
period of a student with extended enrollment status" and gain the necessary approval.
* Ask for more details at the office.
7. Extending enrollment period
Enrollment periods can be further extended for students with extended enrollment statusunder special circumstances.
In order to extend your enrollment period, submit an "Application for extending the enrollment
period of a student with extended enrollment status" and gain the necessary approval. Note thatthe enrollment period can only be extended once.
No one can be enrolled for more than 4 years in a master's program and more than 6 years in adoctoral program. After the extension of enrollment period, the annual tuition is calculated by
dividing the remaining amount of tuition after subtracting the paid tuition from the entire
standard period of studies (2 years for master's programs and 3 years for doctoral programs).
8. Other matters
If you wish to apply for extended enrollment status, be sure to consult closely with your desired
supervisor before applying for admission.
