In cases where the risk of a major disaster is significantly heightened, such as the approach of a typhoon, suspension of public transportation, or other unforeseen circumstances, we have established the following guidelines for the handling of classes (including final exams; hereinafter referred to as “classes”) when it becomes difficult to conduct them. In the event of class cancellations during emergencies, notifications will be made via bulletin boards, email, MyEikei, campus broadcasts, and other means.
