Dear Rikkyo students,
The semi-emergency coronavirus spread prevention measures have been enforced also in Tokyo. However, as we indicate below, we are taking thorough measures against the viral spread to secure safety in the classrooms and on campus. Therefore, we have decided to conduct the classes of Colleges and Graduate Schools as originally scheduled, so that your studies may continue and not be interrupted.
Our current measures include:
- Installing the ventilation for the classrooms and conducting the viral prevention measures
- Placing sanitizers for each building on campus
- Managing and allocating the classroom according to the number of people and the style of the classes
- Conducting thorough monitoring system on the entry of campus
- Securing the special transparent mask, where mouth movement is visible) for the language classes, in which the participants will have to speak
We are taking preventive measures as much as possible to secure safety in the classrooms and campus facilities as you may see, so you can be reassured to take classes on campus.
On the other hand, please remember that each student has to have appropriate awareness and behavior of viral prevention to secure safety in the classrooms, on campus, and during commuting. Please note that your studies on campus may be interrupted again unless you follow appropriate awareness and behavior. Please make sure to take viral prevention measures thoroughly, while you should be proud of being a Rikkyo student and be considerate of others. In particular, you are encouraged to exercise the following:
- wearing masks on campus all the time
- cleansing and sanitizing fingers and hands constantly
- social distancing
- dining silently in the designated places on campus
- restraining dining with others off campus
Depending on the situation of viral spread in the future, we may have to change the style of classes at any time. For the update, please regularly check your SPIRIT mails and Rikkyo’s official website.
