(all programs except DMP and MSP after March 2020**)

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) and the Immigration Bureau require us to confirm that you are fully committed to studying and attending lectures at GRIPS—whether you receive scholarship or not.
For this reason, you are required to visit the Academic and Student Affairs Division on the third floor of the GRIPS building to sign the register during the first five working days of every month during our office hours (Monday through Friday, 9:00–12:00 and 13:00–17:00).  
You must sign the register in person. You cannot ask another student to sign on your behalf, nor can you sign on behalf of others. It is also required that you use the same signature throughout the year to avoid confusion. If you fail to sign the register every month during the period designated in the calendar shown below, make sure to sign before the last day of that month.

*MSP students are required to sign the register during their study at GRIPS between October and March.
