There is no change in the schedule of the final examinations, which began on February 1. The cafeteria, CO-OP store, and libraries are open as usual.

To HU students, parents, and guardians, please be assured that HU is making a concerted effort towards preventing infection.

About financial support

HU started the Emergency Aid for HU Students, an initiative to help home and international students facing financial difficulties due to a sharp decrease in income from their part-time works. The Aid issues 30,000 yen per month to each qualified individual.
