5.Other important information:

Housing: Unless requested otherwise, you will be assigned to reside in our international student dormitory, GLOBAL COMMONS -YUI-. For more information on YUI, please visit:
https://www.kansaigaidai.ac.jp/asp/student-life/housing/yui/
Please contact us if you opt for other housing.

Course Registration: Information on course registration and academic requirements will be sent to you in December, 2023. If you need any academic related information before December, please contact us.

Insurance Requirements: You will be required to join the National Health Insurance upon arrival. It normally covers 70% of medical costs. Since the remaining 30% could be expensive in case of a serious accident/illness, we strongly recommend that you bring your own insurance from home.
Personal Accident insurance is required for all students, and thus the fee is included in your payment to Kansai Gaidai.

Orientation for new students: All students are required to participate in the orientation sessions scheduled on January 31 (Wed), February 1 (Thu), February 2 (Fri) 2024. The first day of classes is scheduled on Monday, February 5 2024.
