To all students, faculty, and staff
The government considers extending the state of emergency to be declared for Tokyo and other Prefectures and the semi-emergency coronavirus spread prevention measures for the three Prefectures of the Metropolitan areas including Saitama. In response to this, we have decided to take the measures as below.
In the future, we will make a decision promptly when there is an occasion, in which we will have to consider altering the restriction level as we comprehensively review the tendency of the number of COVID-19 positive cases in the Metropolitan areas, the requests from MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology), local governments or society.
Rikkyo’s measures
Restriction Level: 3 <Currently 3 (Refer to the chart below)>
Period: June 2 to June 22
* Depending on the situation, the period is subject to change (shortened or lengthened)
Others:
- Course implementation policy for each college will be notified on the following website of Academic Affairs Division.

- Rikkyo’s measures after June 22 will be notified on June 18 via Rikkyo’s website and emails. Each time when we may have to alter the restriction level or period depending on the situation, we will let you know in the same way as mentioned above.
