3. Recommendation Admission (designated schools) requires an exclusive application, and you cannot decline admission. You must be enrolled at a Japanese language institution designated by the university and keep a total attendance rate of 85% or higher until graduation (admission may be canceled if it falls below)
4. The online application deadline and the document submission deadline are the same day (must arrive by then). Entering the data alone does not complete the application. Documents and the application screening fee are generally not refunded for any reason
