• *If you are not selected during a lottery, the course will display as "Not accepted." At this point in time, you can consider yourself officially allowed to enroll in courses that do not have "Not accepted" displayed, and you will not be subject to further lotteries.

③ Second Course registration Period

It will be possible to additionally register courses that do not reach capacity after course registration adjustments 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. Please update the "Course Registration" screen on your browser (refresh page) as appropriate. Even if you miss the screening conducted during the second course registration period, it will still be possible to additionally register the course if it is available for registration during the second course registration period.

• Lottery ① and Lottery ② will be drawn from among those who tried to enroll during the second registration period as of 17:00 on the day each lottery is scheduled for courses that have exceeded capacity (All students who have already registered in the first registration period are accepted to registered). The results will be available on your course registration page at 18:30 on the day of the lottery (you will be unable to access the course registration system between 17:00 and 18:30 on the day each lottery is scheduled).
• 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." Courses that have yet to hold a lottery will display as "Lottery planned." In this case, your registration has not yet been approved.
• Registration will close for Hiyoshi online courses during Lottery ② regardless of the number of course applicants.
• After the 2nd course registration period, the number of registered students will be adjusted for courses exceeding their student quota as a result of the course registrations. Lottery results will be displayed on your own course registration screen at 0:00 on April 16（Wed.）, so please be sure to check it. No additional course registrations, regardless of lottery results, will be permitted after the registration periods end.

Please check the list below for the courses selected for enrollment ("Automatic lottery + screening courses" and "first class screening courses"). There may be some important instructions on how to make adjustments, so please be sure to check the list.

List of Hiyoshi Spring Semester Courses with Screenings [PEARL](Released on March 26)

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.
