Prolonged Unreported Absence and Dismissal
The rules specify how prolonged absence without notification is counted and when three months or more of continuous absence may result in dismissal from enrollment.
How consecutive absence is counted
For the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the Saitama Hatoyama Campus in academic year 2026, consecutive absence days are counted continuously, including Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.
Three months or more of unreported absence
The supplied rules address continuous absence of three months or more when a student has no legitimate or justifiable reason and has not notified the university. Depending on the faculty, campus, and academic year, the student is either subject to dismissal from enrollment or is dismissed under the stated rule.
For the Faculty of Engineering at the Tokyo Senju Campus in academic years 2025 and 2026, such a student is subject to dismissal. The same subject-to-dismissal rule applies to the Faculty of Future Science at the Tokyo Senju Campus in academic years 2025 and 2026, and to the Second Division of the Faculty of Engineering at the Tokyo Senju Campus in academic year 2026.
For the Faculty of System Design and Engineering at the Tokyo Senju Campus in academic year 2026, the rule states that the student is dismissed. For the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the Saitama Hatoyama Campus in academic year 2026, the rule also states that the student is dismissed. For the Faculty of System Design and Engineering at the Tokyo Senju Campus in academic year 2025, the absence is stated to be a ground for expulsion.
