Precautions for Makeup Examinations

• Because new information concerning changes to the examinations timetable, criteria for items permitted in each examination, and examination precaution, etc., will be updated as necessary, students should regularly check the Student Website and "News" on K-Support.
• Students must bring their student ID cards with them to the examination room. Under no circumstances will students without either a student ID card or a temporary ID card be permitted to take makeup examinations. If students do not have their student ID cards on the day of the examination, they must obtain a temporary ID card issued at the Information Desk of the Hiyoshi Office of the Student Services. Students will be charged 500 yen in cash to issue a temporary ID card.
• No items other than student ID cards, writing utensils, watches (excluding those with communication or recording functions), and approved personal belongings should be placed on the desk during examinations. All non-approved items must be put into bags, etc., and placed under the desk by the student's feet. Writing utensils are to be taken out of pencil-cases or pen-boxes, which must also be put away. Students should also make sure that there is nothing inside of the desk they have been allocated.
• Students are not permitted to use computers, electronic dictionaries, or any other devices with communication capabilities (Mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, wearable devices (such as smartwatches) etc.). Students must completely switch off these devices and put them away into their bags. Use of these devices as clocks is not permitted. Students are not allowed to touch these devices until the examination has finished and they have received permission to vacate the room. If students touch any of these devices, even if not actually used, they will be deemed to have committed an act of academic misconduct.
• The use of writing mats is prohibited. Please notify a proctor if there are scratches on the surface of the desk or any other defaults making it difficult for you to write your answers.
• To ensure that no one commits acts of academic misconduct, or any acts that may be mistakenly construed as misconduct, students should approach examinations with an appropriate attitude and mindset. All acts of academic misconduct will be severely punished.
• Seating is allocated by course. Students should sit at the desk stated on the seating tables displayed on the board in front of the examination rooms.
• The examination proctors will go around and check the student ID cards of examinees each time period. Please remove your student ID card or temporary ID card from its case and place it face-up on the desk near the aisle so that the proctors are able to see your portrait photograph.
• The attendance of examinees will be taken each time period. An attendance sheet (allocated according to course) will be handed around to all students, starting from the front row. Please fill out your details and pass it to the person seated behind you.
• Students who do not submit their answer sheets or any other materials that they have been instructed to hand in will be deemed to have committed an act of academic misconduct. Please ensure that these items are handed over when the proctors come around to collect them. Students must also make sure that they have filled in their full name and student ID number on the answer sheet. In principle, answer sheets without either of these details will not be graded.
• In cases of late arrival, students will be permitted to enter the examination room up to 20 minutes after the start of the exam. No extensions will be made to the finishing time of the examination. Students who arrive later than 20 minutes will not be allowed to take the examination.
• Students will not be permitted to leave the examination room after the exam starts.
• From period 2 onwards, students will not be able to enter the examination room until the examination proctors from the previous time period have vacated the room.

The semester-end examinations timetable is different to the standard class timetable. There are cases when the examinations for two courses a student has registered for are set during the same time period on the same day, or the timing of the examinations held at the Hiyoshi campus and the other campus overlaps. Students should check the semester-end examinations timetable as quickly as possible and, following the instructions stated below, carry out the necessary procedures when there is an overlap in examination times.

Overlapping Examination Period for Two Hiyoshi Campus Courses

It is possible to take either "Overlapping Examinations (※refer below)" or a "Makeup Examination." In either case, students will need to apply in advance. Because the makeup examinations do not take place until late February, and the fact that no second makeup examinations will be held even for students unable to attend due to illness or train delays, etc., it is recommended that students apply for "Overlapping Examinations."

	Overlapping Examinations　※	Makeup Examinations
Application Deadline	January 15(Thu) 16:45	February 5 (Thu) 11:30
How to apply	Hiyoshi Office of Student Services Information Desk	Hiyoshi Office of Student Services Faculty Counters

※ Overlapping Examinations

There are sometimes cases when the examinations for two courses a student has registered for are set during the same period on the same day. In such cases, it is possible for the student to apply for "Overlapping Examinations" in order to take both examinations on the same day in a different examination room from the original.

Overlapping Examination Period for Hiyoshi Courses and Courses held at other Campuses

• If semester-end examinations overlap for Hiyoshi courses and non-Hiyoshi courses, take the semester-end examination for the Hiyoshi course within the examination period, and then apply to take a makeup examination for the non-Hiyoshi course.
• For details on makeup examinations, please check with your faculty office.
• Even when the time periods set for the examinations timetables of Hiyoshi and Mita campuses differ, if there is only 60 minutes or less between the start and finish of the respective examinations held on these campuses, these examinations will be regarded as overlapping.

Examples of Overlapping Examination Period between Mita and Hiyoshi

• Period 3 of Hiyoshi and Periods 2 of Mita overlap.
• Period 6 of Hiyoshi and Period 4 of Mita overlap.
• Period 2 of Hiyoshi and Period 3 of Mita do not overlap.

How to apply for Makeup Examinations for an Overlapping Examination (Hiyoshi)

Please refer to the section "Makeup Examinations."

※ The bell schedule for the examinations is different from the schedule for regular classes [The timing also differs between campuses.]
※ These times do not apply to examinations longer than 50 minutes.

Exam and assignment-related academic misconduct

Academic misconduct is strictly prohibited in all academic activities, including, but not limited to: semester-end examinations, in-class examinations, reports, assignments, and quizzes. Students are expected to understand the following points, and to undertake examinations and other academic activities with both sincerity and integrity.

• Failure of the applicable course
• Grade deductions for all courses taken during the applicable academic year or semester
• Reprimands, including suspension or compulsory withdrawal, depending on the circumstances of the incident.

• Taking unauthorized material into an examination
• Use, possession, and/or wearing of electronic and/or communication devices including, but not limited to smartphones and smart watches.

Important points for reports and papers

Reports and papers are a critical measure of academic achievement. Take particular care in observing the following points:

• Clearly separate your opinion from quoted material
• Always provide citations when referencing and/or quoting the work and/or ideas of others
• Quotations should reproduce the exact words used in the original work (including any errors)

• In the event that an instructor encourages or permits the use of generative AI, use it appropriately as specified by that instructor. However, the use of generative AI to produce reports or other assignments must be clearly disclosed within the submitted document.

Lastly...

Never forget that helping someone else to commit academic misconduct is itself also an act of misconduct. When writing reports and other assignments, pay close attention to the appropriate citation style, etc.

1. Students must bring their student ID cards with them when taking the semester-end examinations. If students have lost their student ID cards, they must carry out the reissue procedures before the start of the examinations period.It typically takes several days for their student ID card to be reissued after their application is received. Immediate issuance is not available.
2. Students without either a student ID card or a temporary ID card will not be permitted to take the examination. If students do not have their student ID cards on the day of the examination, they must obtain a temporary ID card issued at the Information Desk of the Hiyoshi Office of Student Services (issue fee of 500 yen(Cash Only); only valid on the day of issue).
3. Each time period, the examination proctors will come around and make sure that the student ID cards displayed belong to the examinees. During examinations, students must remove their student ID cards or temporary ID cards from their cases. Students sitting by the aisles must place their student ID cards or temporary ID cards on the side of the desk facing the aisle, while all other students must place their cards at the top right-hand corner of their own desks (directly in front of them) so that the examination proctors are able to confirm the portrait photographs.

2. Students must remain silent in front of the examination rooms.
3. Students who arrive late will be able to take the examination if they enter the room within 20 minutes after the start of the exam. However, no extensions will be made to the allotted time of the examination. If the cause for a student arriving late is recognized as a legitimate reason for taking a makeup examination, such as a train delay, etc., the student concerned may decide whether to take the examination on that day or instead take a makeup examination. Even if the reason for arriving late is a train delay, etc., if they decide to enter the room and take the examinations, they will no longer be eligible to apply for a makeup examination. Furthermore, applications for a makeup examination resulting from a transportation delay will, in principle, only be accepted on the day of the examination.

Students are not allowed to touch these devices until the examination has finished and they have received permission to vacate the room. If students touch any of these devices, even if not actually used, they will be deemed to have committed an act of academic misconduct.
3. The use of writing mats is prohibited. Please notify a proctor if there are scratches on the surface of the desk or any other defaults making it difficult for you to write your answers.

Seating

1. Students should sit directly behind the person in front of them so that there are no empty seats. However, to ensure that no students sit directly next to each other, one person will sit at a two-person desk, two people at a four-person desk and three people at a five-person desk.
2. Because examinations for required subjects take place according to class, students should follow the instructions of the examination proctors.
