The university, as an institution accepting international students, must be aware of the studies/research that students are conducting, and their status of residence as necessary, must inform the Immigration Services Agency and the MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology).
It is vital that the university stay aware of each student's status of residence, so that we are able to smoothly support them in the event that they get involved in trouble.
When you extend or change your status of residence, take a leave of absence, or when the university requests, please submit it as soon as possible.
Please submit it to ru-coe@st.ritsumei.ac.jp (There may be some situations in which you are asked to submit it not via e-mail)
