To all students,

At present, there are continuing to be cases of novel coronavirus infection in Kobe University students. It has not yet been decided when Hyogo Prefecture’s State of Emergency will end, however in light of the current circumstances, Kobe University’s Activity Restriction Measures for the ‘Classes’ and ‘Coming to University (students)’ categories will remain at Level 1 for the duration of intensive lecture series held in Quarter 2 and Semester 1: ‘Classes should be mainly held remotely’ and ‘Students are only allowed on campus for some classes, research activities and permitted extracurricular activities, while taking precautions to prevent the spread of infection’ .

Consequently all classes that can be conducted remotely will be held online wherever possible, until the end of September. For information on how each class will be held and restrictions on coming to the university campuses, please see the website of the faculty or graduate school responsible for conducting that class or the College for Liberal Arts and Sciences homepage, and follow their instructions.

Depending on infection prevalence and requests from the national and local governments, the activity restrictions level may be raised, students may be generally prohibited from coming to campus and all classes may be held online in the future. Please check the University homepage, faculty/graduate school websites and the College for Liberal Arts and Sciences homepage frequently for updates.
