Additional registration for courses that did not reach capacity after the course registration adjustments will be available during the second course registration period.

*Courses that appear on the "Course Registration" screen as being able to be registered are courses which can be additionally registered.

• Courses that you have been let into will be listed as "Registration-accepted students finalized (Accepted)." Courses that you have not been selected for will display as "Not accepted."

List of Hiyoshi Fall Semester Courses with Screenings [PEARL](Released on September 16)

Two methods are employed by courses screening students: "Screening after first-class session" and "Automatic lottery + screening." Screening after first-class session method: an arbitrary screening will be conducted during the first-class session.

• If you wish to register for a course included on this list, please be sure to register no later than the day before the first class of the course starts (23:59) and attend the first-class session.
• Because "K-LMS" cannot be used at the time of the first class even if course registrations are completed on or after the day the first-class session is held, there is a possibility that you will not be included in the screening/lottery.
• You will be generally notified regarding the screening results by e-mail to your keio.jp account no later than 20:00 on the day of the first-class session.
• *If you do not receive a notification by the next day, please contact the Hiyoshi Office of Student Services.

Important Notes

• Please note that the following may occur when adjusting the number of students.
  1. Students belonging to the faculty in charge of a course may be given priority during registration.
  2. Students who are not taking the course as an Optional Subject may be given priority.
  3. During the first registration period after students have clicked the red "check" button, should an error message appear in the corrections column it is because one or more of the registrations are incomplete. If students complete the first registration without correcting these errors, they may be negatively impacted during the adjustments for registered student numbers.
• Please refer to the Course Registration Guide, Syllabus and Timetable, K-Support, the Student Website, and etc., and take care not to make mistakes or omissions during your registration. If your course registration is found to be incomplete or you are required to make corrections, please follow the instructions from the Hiyoshi Office of Student Services.
• Please note that students who neglect to do this will bear full responsibility for any corresponding consequences.
• Details of your course registration entered until 23:59 will be reflected the following morning on "K-LMS."
• If you fail to register for courses with screenings by the day before the first class (at 23:59), you may be deemed ineligible to participate in the relevant screenings/lotteries. The course instructor will decide how to handle any registration requests made from that point onwards.
