How to contact students
All communication from the university to students is done on bulletin boards and mailboxes for international students.At the university, it is assumed that each and every student will always check the bulletin board and check the mailbox.Students are responsible for overlooking bulletin boards and checking mailboxes, so be sure to check the bulletin boards at the Center for Student Affairs and the Office for International Relations (in front of the Office for International Relations) and mailboxes for international students at least once a day. Let's check.
Supervisor
Guidance and advice on study/research problems, further education, and other problems are provided.
When you apply for tuition fee exemption or scholarship, you will often be asked to write your opinion or recommendation letter, so please always keep in touch with your academic advisor and discuss any problems you may have.
faculty office hours
Once a week, all teachers have a time to receive various consultations about things related to study and life.Living in an unfamiliar foreign country far away from your family, even the smallest things can become a big obstacle.In such cases, it is best to consult faculty members who understand cultural differences well and obtain accurate advice.Feel free to contact us during office hours.
Please check the bulletin board in front of the International Affairs Office for the office hours of the faculty members of the International Affairs Office.
no cheating
If you cheat (e.g. cheating) on exams (final, midterm, quiz, etc.), or if you copy and paste other people's texts into reports you are required to submit at the university, you will be suspended from school. All grades for that semester will be voided.
Tutor system
Students at Hirosaki University will provide support so that new international students can quickly get used to university life and improve their studies and research.In addition, we will help international students and Japanese students build networks (help international students build networks in their fields of interest).The types of international students and their respective tutors are as follows.
○ Tutor system for research students, undergraduate students, and graduate students
A tutor is attached to an international student when he or she first enters school, when the supervisor determines that a tutor is necessary.
In this case, one international student will have one tutor, and the tutor will be determined by the recommendation of the academic advisor.
[Eligible international students and instruction period]
Undergraduate student (1st year): XNUMX months
Graduate student, research student (1st year): XNUMX months
If you are a student at Hirosaki University and are interested in tutoring, please refer to the "International Student Tutoring Guide" below.

○ Tutor system for exchange students
There are two types of supporters: Life Supporters and Japanese Language Supporters.
Every semester (twice in the first and second semesters), the International Cooperation Headquarters conducts an open call for tutors, and students are selected from among the students who apply.
"Lifestyle Supporters" mainly provide support for exchange students' daily life, such as housing and account opening procedures, while "Japanese Language Supporters" teach Japanese language to international students about 4-5 times a month. We mainly support international students in improving their Japanese language skills.
For both "Lifestyle Supporter" and "Japanese Language Supporter," support will be provided to 5-6 exchange students in a group structure of 2-3 tutors.
