Hosei University
September Graduation Ceremony and Conferral of Degree Certificate
In light of the current situation, whereby infections of the novel coronavirus are increasing within Japan, it has been decided that the September Graduation Ceremony and Conferral of Degree Certificate scheduled for September 12th will be held at a reduced scale.
We are thinking foremost of the health and safety of all students and their families amid the day by day increasing numbers of people infected with the coronavirus in Japan, and we would like to ask for everyone’s understanding regarding this decision.
The ceremony will be held on a smaller scale with a reduced number of representatives from each course. In addition, we stream the ceremony online at the same time.
Furthermore, all degree certificates will be posted out to students by each faculty and research department after the ceremonies. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to obtain your degree certificate on campus.
Participation in Student Ceremony
Eligibility to attend the ceremony is restricted to students who have been conferred with a doctorate (all students), 1 student representative for those who have completed a master degree program, and 1 student representative for those who have completed an undergraduate degree program. Those who are eligible will be contacted separately by their course administrators.
Other students may also attend the ceremony, but as mentioned above, all degree certificates will be sent out afterwards by mail. Even if you attend the ceremony, degree certificates will not be handed out on that same day. We appreciate your understanding in advance.
The date and place of the ceremony are as follows:
September Graduation Ceremony and Conferral of Degree Certificate
Schedule: September 12th (Saturday), 10 a.m. to 10.30 a.m.
Location: Satta Hall, 6th floor of the Sotobori Building, Ichigaya Campus

Conferral of Degree Certificates
Degree certificates will be sent by Hosei University via mail. Detailed information on how specifically they will be sent out can be found separately via the faculty sending the certificate.
