Academic Year Structure Semesters (Two-semester system) The iCLA academic year is divided into two semesters, each comprising 15 weeks of classes (16 weeks including the final examination period at the end of each semester). The dates of each semester are given in the table below. Spring Semester April 1 - August 31 (Summer Break: August 4 –August 31) September 1 - March 31 Fall Semester (Winter Break: December 26–January 10) Winter Program: January 17–March 13 (Spring Break: March 16–March 31) For students entering iCLA in the Spring Semester, the academic year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31 of the following year.

Winter Program For students whose credits are yet to be determined in “English for Academic Excellence,” iCLA provides supplementary classes via the Winter Program (8 weeks) during the break period at the end of the Fall Semester (see the EAE Manual for more details). Other courses (intensive classes, etc.) are also offered as part of the Winter Program. The Winter Program will be held from January 17 to March 13, 2017. c. Credit System The University has adopted the credit system for its educational programs. Within this system, students receive credits for courses completed during the period of enrollment, in accordance with the standards for calculating credits. Students acquire the credits attached to courses by passing designated examinations. They earn a bachelor’s degree when a certain number of credits are acquired, and their graduation is approved. One credit is equivalent to 45 hours of study conducted for one course during one semester (the academic year is divided into Spring and Fall semesters, each of which runs for 15 weeks). These 45 hours of study include both in-class study and independent study outside of class; however, the ratio of in-class to independent study varies depending on the characteristics of the course. 8 The credits for each course are calculated according to the standards outlined below, which are dependent on the method of instruction. The standards also consider the educational effects of the class and the amount of independent study required. Course / Mode of instruction Credits English for Academic Students take 10 × 75 min classes per week Excellence (150 classes per semester) and receive 15 credits. Lectures in Foundation Courses, Humanities, Social Sciences, Quantitative Reasoning & Students take 2 × 75 min classes per week (30 classes per semester) and receive 3 credits. Natural Sciences Students take 1 × 75 min seminar per week Seminars (15 seminars per semester) and receive 1 credit. Workshops, Laboratories, Practicals (Health and Physical Education Course) Students take 2 × 75 min classes per week for 10 weeks and receive 1 credit.

Class Cancellations, Make-up Classes, and Classroom Changes Class Cancellation There are cases when, due to special school events or circumstances beyond the control of the respective course instructor, classes may be cancelled. In cases when there is a decision or notification that a class has been cancelled, an announcement will be posted on the notice board located at the first floor entrance and/or through online notification. If there is no cancellation notice (or any special instruction) and the class instructor does not arrive within 30 minutes of the scheduled class time, then make sure to inquire at the iCLA Administrative Office regarding whether the class will be conducted. YGU Extreme Weather Protocol When weather conditions reach extreme levels due to a typhoon or a snowstorm, Yamanashi Gakuin University may decide to cancel courses or suspend all operations. Students should be sure to check the university website (http://www.ygu.ac.jp) and follow the protocol outlined below in the case of inclement weather. Students should check the university website around 6 A.M. for official announcements. The University may, however, continue to update and announce new information at different times. In the case that by 5:30 A.M. the Japan Meteorological Agency issues at least one of the following types of “emergency warnings” (特別警報; tokubetsu keihou) for Yamanashi Prefecture, the University will suspend all operations and cancel courses and examinations in order to ensure the safety of students as well as faculty and staff. 1. Heavy Rain Emergency Warning (大雨特別警報; oame tokubetsu keiho) 2. Heavy Snow Emergency Warning (大雪特別警報; oyuki tokubetsu keiho) 3. Storm Emergency Warning (暴風特別警報; boufu tokubetsu keiho) 4. Snowstorm Emergency Warning (暴風雪特別警報; boufusetsu tokubetsu keiho) 1. The decision to close the University or cancel courses will be made based on warnings issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency. 2. As weather conditions may vary depending on the location of residence, students should put safety first and never take risks when commuting. 3. For off-campus activities, students should follow their teachers’ instructions. 4. Make-up classes or examinations will be conducted separately. Students should check the bulletin boards for more information. Note: The Japanese word 休講 (kyuko; the cancellation of one or more courses) should not be confused with its homonym 休校 (kyuko; the closure of the university). 13 Additional Extreme Weather Protocol Notes for iCLA The English-language website for the Japan Meteorological Agency is the following: http://www.jma.go.jp/jma/indexe.html Students should also make sure to check LMS (Edvance) and iCLA social media sites for updated information on class cancellations or delays within the department. If an emergency warning is not issued but weather conditions in a student’s location of residence are too dangerous for commuting, the student should put safety first and not take the risk of commuting. In such a case, the student should immediately contact the iCLA Administrative Office to inform the staff of absence due to extreme weather conditions. The student should also contact all professors for the classes scheduled for that day to inform them of the absence. Make-up Class Cancelled classes will be, in principle, supplemented. Make-up classes will be held during the make-up class period or in appropriate hours on appropriate days of the week. In either case, the date and time will be announced on the notice board and through online notification. Classroom Changes In cases of classroom changes (either permanent or temporary), an announcement will be posted on the notice board and through online notification. g. Class Absences due to Illness or Bereavement and Class Tardiness Regarding class absences, in principle, each student must explain the circumstances to their instructors. Please consider the instructions given by the instructor regarding class supplementation to be obligatory. The decision on how absences shall be managed is made individually by the faculty member. For absences during exams, please refer to page 52. Absences due to Illness and Bereavement For absences due to causes such as illness, injury, or bereavement of third-degree relatives (by blood or marriage), a Class Absence Form shall be issued. The submission of this Class Absence Form will not make an absence an “attendance.” The management of an absence will be decided individually by the faculty member. 14 Conditions/Required Supporting Documents Cause of Conditions for Application Absence Illness of the applicant him/herself. Illnesses Illness of relatives and friends do not apply. In principle, this excludes cases when the responsibility for the injury is due to the Injury student him/herself. Bereavement Bereavement of third-degree relatives (by blood or marriage). * Necessary Public Evidence Doctor’s Medical Diagnosis Certificate (original) or Treatment Costs Receipt Injury (original) Funeral Attendance Letter (original) or official Certificate of Death (original) * Public evidence shall be, in principle, written in Japanese or English. In cases where obtaining public evidence in Japanese or English is difficult, please submit a summary in Japanese or English. Class Absence Procedure 1. Notify the iCLA Administrative Office via phone or e-mail. (In case students know of their absence ahead of time, they should come to the Administrative Office to obtain a Class Absence Form.) 2. Upon returning to campus, complete a Class Absence Form for each course (available at the iCLA Administrative Office). Please see the sample form at the end of this section. 3. Attach the public evidence to the Class Absence Form and submit it to the iCLA Administrative Office. 4. On evaluation of the public evidence at the iCLA Administrative Office, if there are no mistakes in the information provided, the Class Absence Form will be stamped and returned to the student. 5. The student will then submit it to the respective instructor. Please note that students are also responsible for notifying the instructors of the classes they will be missing, including the LAC. As there is no system of officially recognized absences at iCLA, it is up to the individual judgment of each instructor to determine in what light a student’s absences will be considered. Deadlines Please submit the Class Absence Form with the Doctor’s Medical Diagnosis Certificate or Treatment Costs Receipt, Funeral Attendance Letter or Certificate of Death within, in principle, one week of obtainment. 15 Absences due to Infectious Diseases In case of illness from an Infectious Disease, as described below, pursuant to the Act on School Health Safety Article 19, attendance will be suspended. In such case, it will not be treated as an absence upon issuance of a Certificate of Recovery from Infectious Disease by a medical institution (available at the iCLA Administrative Office). Please see the sample form at the end of this section. However, cases involving diseases other than “Infectious Diseases Pursuant to the Act on School Health Safety” listed in the following table shall not be subject to this norm. Infectious Diseases Covered by the School Health and Safety Act Length of suspension of absence Disease Ebola hemorrhagic fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, smallpox, South American Type I hemorrhagic fevers, plague, poliomyelitis, Marburg disease, diphtheria, Lassa fever, Until recovery severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and avian influenza (H5N1) Until 5 days after the onset of Seasonal influenza (except H5N1) symptoms and 2 days after the fever has subsided Type II Until whooping cough has subsided Pertussis (whooping cough) or the student has completed an appropriate treatment program Until 3 days after the fever has Measles (rubeola) subsided Until 5 days have elapsed since the onset of swelling of the parotid glands and the Parotitis (mumps) student’s overall condition has returned to normal Rubella (German measles; three-day measles) Until the rash has subsided Until the chickenpox blisters have Chickenpox (varicella) formed scabs 16 Until 2 days after major symptoms Adenovirus have subsided Tuberculosis and meningococcal meningitis Type III Until a physician has determined that there is no further risk of infection Cholera, shigellosis, E. coli (escherichia coli), typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, epidemic keratoconjunctivitis, acute hemorrhagic Until there is no further risk of conjunctivitis, other infectious diseases infection (infectious gastroenteritis, mycoplasma pneumonia, hemolytic streptococcal infection) Procedure 1. In cases where there is an infection or a suspicion of infection with an Infectious Disease, immediately visit a hospital for an examination. If the student has been diagnosed with any of the Infectious Diseases, then his/her attendance to class will be suspended. 2. Please contact the iCLA Administrative Office regarding class absence by e-mail or telephone. 3. Please convalesce at home until fully recuperated. 4. After the illness symptoms have subsided, print the Certificate of Recovery from Infectious Disease and undergo another examination at the hospital that issued the previous diagnosis. Ask the doctor to complete the certificate. 5. Submit the Certificate of Recovery from Infectious Disease to the iCLA Administrative Office by the due date. Deadlines Please submit documentation at the iCLA Administrative Office within one week after the lifting of the attendance suspension. Tardiness In case of tardiness due to reasons such as confusion in the scheduling of public transportation, please ask the public transportation authority, since certificates will be issued in such cases. 17 Class Absence Form (Sample Form) 18 Certificate of Recovery from Infectious Disease (Sample Form) 19 h.

Curriculum a. Curriculum Outline The iCLA curriculum is comprised of courses in the following subject areas (a–f). In addition, clusters c, d, and e are divided into several smaller subject areas. Please also note that subject areas b–f are called the Liberal Arts Program. Subject Areas (a) English for Academic Excellence (EAE) (b) Foundation Courses (c) Humanities Languages Japanese Language Arts Performing Arts Music History Philosophy & Religious Studies (d) Social Sciences Economics Political Science Sociology (e) Quantitative Reasoning & Natural Sciences Quantitative Reasoning Natural Sciences (f) Health & Physical Education In addition to the above, iCLA offers a Japan Studies Program (JSP), comprising courses from various subject areas, through which students can deepen their understanding of Japan. This is particularly relevant to exchange students when formulating study plans for their studies in Japan. The JSP comprises the Japanese Language Program (JLP) and the Japan Area Studies Program (JAS). 21 Programs Japan Studies Program (JSP) Japanese Language Program (JLP) * The JLP contains courses from the Japanese Language subject area in the c (Humanities) cluster. Japan Area Studies (JAS) * The JAS Program contains courses from clusters c–f. English for Academic Excellence (EAE) English for Academic Excellence (hereinafter referred to as “EAE”) is an intensive English language program for students who are non-native speakers of English. EAE comprises the conditionally required elective course “English for Academic Excellence A” and the required course “English for Academic Excellence B.” The program provides intensive instruction with the aim of creating a level of English ability equivalent to TOEFL iBT 61. Detailed information about EAE is available in the EAE Manual. All students who enter English for Academic Excellence must first successfully pass EAE in order to enter the iCLA Liberal Arts Program, which is comprised of Foundation Courses and courses in the Humanities, Social Sciences, Quantitative Reasoning & Natural Sciences, Health & Physical Education, and the Japan Studies Program. In principle, all Japanese students are expected to enter and pass the EAE Program requirements before being allowed to enroll in Liberal Arts courses. However, select students with a high level of English language knowledge who can pass the EAE exemption tests may be able to enroll directly in Liberal Arts courses. Japanese Language Program (JLP) The Japanese language courses on the Japanese Language Program (hereinafter referred to as “JLP”) are aimed at international students. After arriving at YGU, international students take a placement test before classes begin. Students are divided into classes (“Elementary Japanese 1–3,” “Intermediate Japanese 1 & 2”, and "Advanced Japanese") according to their level of Japanese ability, which is based on the placement test results. As a graduation requirement, international degree-seeking students taking JLP must complete “Intermediate Japanese 2.” Those who have taken the placement test and are estimated to have already attained the level of Japanese language ability required to complete “Intermediate Japanese 2” are exempt from Japanese language courses. However, they may opt to take the “Advanced Japanese” course in order to refine their language skills. 22 Study Abroad After completing the required courses, all students complete a compulsory period of study abroad, equivalent to two semesters at YGU. Please refer to page 29 for more details. Concentrations, Seminars, and the Graduation Research Project (GRP) All students take one seminar course related to their “concentration,” which they choose from the following eight subject areas: Language Arts, Arts Performing Arts Music Philosophy & Religious Studies Economics Political Science Sociology In addition, students complete a Graduation Research Project– a comprehensive summary of an aspect of their concentration. Credits for the Graduation Research Project are approved by the instructor in charge of the seminar course in which the student is enrolled; however, research achievements (graduation theses) are examined under a joint decision-making system involving the seminar instructor and a full-time faculty member responsible for English language education. This system has been adopted in light of the educational goals of the new faculty to assess whether the student has fully acquired advanced academic English ability from the perspective of both English expression and specialized research. Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) At iCLA, students can take a wide range of courses, from six academic clusters. iCLA also offers a Writing-Across-the-Curriculum (hereafter referred to as “WAC”) Program, which enables students to connect different types of knowledge they have acquired from a wide range of academic disciplines. In the WAC Program, students consolidate their knowledge through various writing assignments. The writing assignments constituting the WAC Program are divided into the following two types: 1. Academic papers: students prepare one paper per semester on a particular theme, which they later develop into a Graduation Research Project. Students whose native language is 23 Japanese also prepare a report in Japanese summarizing these papers. These assignments are referred to as “WAC-1.” 2. More concise academic and reflective papers, containing various themes from each class. These assignments are referred to as “WAC-2.” The details of WAC-1 and WAC-2 assignments are provided in the next section. b. Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) WAC-1 Step 1: Introduction Before commencing WAC-1, students must take “Introduction to World Issues.” Step 2: Selecting a Theme During “Introduction to World Issues,” students select a theme of interest from a list of global issues, which is prepared by the Faculty. Step 3: Commencement of WAC-1 After completing “Introduction to World Issues,” students begin WAC-1 by preparing reports on the selected theme, for a minimum of one course per semester, including their period of study abroad. Students receive advice from their concentration advisor and decide on which course they will write their WAC-1 report. Students can also receive guidance from their academic advisor during the course of preparing the report. Students whose native language is Japanese prepare one Japanese report that summarizes the twice-yearly WAC-1 reports, and they submit this report to a faculty-member in charge of JLP. WAC-1 reports are added to students’ Open Portfolios on the Learning Management System (LMS). Step 4: Guidance and Evaluation of WAC-1 WAC-1 reports are included in the grade evaluation for the course for which they were prepared. The reports are evaluated by the instructor in charge of each course. There are some courses for which WAC-1 report evaluations are not part of the course grading; however, students may still submit WAC-1 reports for these courses. Students can still receive guidance from the course instructor even if the submitted report is not included in the course grading. Concerning the Japanese reports, three senior faculty members from JLP provide correction and feedback on the use of Japanese expressions. Japanese report evaluations are not included in course grading. 24 Step 5: Graduation Research Project By the time students begin the Graduation Research Project, they will have compiled several WAC-1 reports in their Open Portfolio. These reports are then used and developed by the students in the Graduation Research Project. In principle, students complete their Graduation Research Project on the theme they selected for WAC-1; however, students may also investigate issues beyond their WAC-1 theme, with the approval of their concentration advisor/seminar instructor. WAC-2 In each class, students receive guidance from the class instructor and then prepare academic and reflective papers based on various themes. WAC-2 reports are added to students’ Private Portfolios on the LMS. Students also have the option of transferring WAC-2 reports to their Open Portfolios. c. iCLA Concentration System Concentration Selection Before the end of the fall semester of the students’ first year, an academic guidance period will take place wherein students can explore the different iCLA concentrations and speak with the academic advisors for the concentrations they are interested in studying. At the end of the guidance period, students select a concentration from the eight fields in which seminars are offered (for reference, please take a look at the iCLA Concentration Declaration Form located at the end of this section): (1) Language Arts (5) Philosophy & Religious Studies (2) Arts (6) Economics (3) Performing Arts (7) Political Science (4) Music (8) Sociology Starting from the following spring semester (after exiting EAE), students must take a lecture course from their chosen area of concentration each semester, while receiving consistent academic advice from an academic advisor who specializes in this concentration. Through this process, students continuously enhance their expertise, while working toward the preparation of a Graduation Research Project in their area of concentration. Students should note that concentration lectures must also be taken (and passed) during every semester of their study abroad year. 25 Changing Concentrations It is possible to change concentrations after declaring an initial concentration. To change concentrations, students should fill out an iCLA Concentration Change Form, have it signed by both the current and new concentration advisors, and submit it to the iCLA Administrative Office. Connecting the Dots: WAC and the Graduation Research Project In the 4th year, students will take a seminar in the chosen area of concentration and complete a Graduation Research Project. In general, a student will complete the Graduation Research Project for the on the same theme chosen for WAC-1 (see the previous section for details). Sample WAC-1 Portfolio and Graduation Research Project Year 1: English for Academic Excellence (EAE) Student declares Music as a concentration at the end of Fall Semester Year 2: Spring Semester (iCLA) Take “Introduction to World Issues” course Chosen Theme: Creativity Fall Semester (iCLA) Course: Japanese Traditional Music WAC-1 Paper: “Formula and Creativity in Japanese Traditional Music” Year 3: Spring Semester (University of Sussex) Course: Psychology Module – Fear and Anxiety in Children WAC-1 Paper: “The Effect of Creative Activity and Music Therapy on Children” Fall Semester (University of Sussex) Course: Geography Module – Culture, Race and Ethnicity WAC-1 Paper: “Music as an Expression of Cultural Identity” Year 4: Spring Semester (iCLA) Course: Entrepreneurship WAC-1 Paper: “Tradition and Innovation in the Video Game Music Industry” Fall Semester (iCLA) Course: Seminar (Music) Graduation Research Project: “Genre Fusion: Creativity, Tradition, and Music in Modern Asia” 26 Concentration Declaration Form (Sample) 27 Concentration Change Form (Sample) 28 d. The Study Abroad Program The “study abroad program” explained in this section refers to credit exchange for study at those overseas universities with exchange agreements with Yamanashi Gakuin University. Enrolment status, tuition fees, and credit recognition Status of student studying abroad Tuition (and other expenses) Grading and credit recognition Students studying abroad at partner universities are considered to be enrolled at Yamanashi Gakuin University. Tuition fees at Yamanashi Gakuin University, accommodation expenses, food expenses, educational material expenses, cost of obtaining a VISA, to and fro travel expenses, overseas travel insurance, transportation expenses at the study location, and other miscellaneous expenses. Grading and GPA is determined in accordance with the rules of each receiving university. Credits earned at the overseas university are recognized as iCLA credits with the approval of the committee. Requirements and eligibility for the study abroad program Length of study abroad period Period of study abroad Year of study Grades and language One year Depends on the partner institution; however, generally as follows: Spring Semester: January–December / Fall Semester: September–July From the third year (as a general rule) Note: Year of study depends on the student’s level of English proficiency. Students who satisfy the requirements listed below for study abroad may be permitted to study abroad before the designated year of study. Third year students may not be permitted to study abroad if they do not satisfy the requirements. 1) English proficiency: Minimum TOEFL PBT score of 550, minimum iBT score of 80. Note: Students who have not satisfied the English proficiency requirements at the time of applying for study abroad may be permitted to study abroad based on the strength of their GPA. Students are assessed based on their ability to meet the standards for studying abroad using a sliding scale based on TOEFL scores and GPA. 2) Students must satisfy the language and grade requirements specified by the receiving university. 29 Courses 1) Students must have completed the following courses: Composition I, Composition II, and Academic Reading Across Disciplines OR Expository Research Writing Introduction to World Issues 2) Students should complete the following courses and orientation (not required, but strongly recommended) World History Microeconomics One of the following: Philosophy, Culture and Civilization, History of Western Philosophy, and History and Philosophy of Science Study Abroad Orientation Steps leading up to study abroad Step 1: iCLA Study Abroad Program Orientation Students must review all information about each receiving university, their requirements for study abroad, and the steps leading up to study abroad. Faculty members respond to other questions regarding study abroad. Step 2: Period for submission of internal applications for study abroad Students first meet with academic advisors and receive advice about receiving universities. Students must submit the prescribed study abroad application forms to the iCLA Administrative Office. If departing in the Spring Semester: The application must be submitted six months prior to departure (in July of the previous year). If departing in the Fall Semester: The application must be submitted nine months prior to departure (in December of the previous year) due to student recruitment closure in mid-February. Step 3: Internal selection The iCLA Study Abroad Selection Committee screens applicants and approves each student’s exchange partner school. Step 4: Preparation of a study plan Students are to obtain as much information as possible about the curriculum and courses at the exchange partner school, and during an early stage, they are requested to consult with their academic advisor about the study plan in the procedure. Students must obtain approval of their study plan prior to departure. Step 5: Submission of documents to the chosen exchange university Submit documents to the exchange university. Students are screened in accordance with the selection criteria of each receiving university. Step 6: Obtaining approval for study abroad from the receiving university Determine accommodation for the duration of the period of study abroad (dormitory at the 30 receiving university, apartment, homestay, etc.) Step 7: Prepare travel plans to the exchange university Arrange VISA, plane ticket, and overseas health insurance. Make final preparations for departure.

Graduation Requirements The education and living-learning environment provided at iCLA emphasizes the constant development of critical, creative, autonomous, and global thinking. As an important part of this education, iCLA strongly encourages its students to plan ahead for the entire 4 years of their undergraduate studies and take responsibility when designing their respective study programs. To facilitate this process, academic orientations and information sessions are held at various points throughout the year. Students also receive personalized guidance from knowledgeable iCLA academic advisors who can assist them with course planning and related academic matters. In order to graduate, students must observe the following seven rules and satisfy all of the requirements. It is important for students to understand the following rules well. 1. Acquisition of 124 credits In order to graduate, students must have been enrolled at the University for at least four years. Students should have earned the designated number of course credits and a total of at least 124 credits. 2. Completion of study abroad year After completing certain compulsory electives, all students must complete a period of study abroad that is equivalent to two semesters at the iCLA. 3. Earn 3 credits from the iCLA Japan Studies Program Students must earn at least three credits from courses offered in the “Japan Studies Program” (JSP). 4. Earn 15 credits from advanced courses In their fourth year, students take seminars in their area of concentration; however, as a prerequisite, students must complete a “lecture” course, which is within this area of concentration, in each semester. In other words, by the time students take seminars, students should have earned a total of at least 15 credits (3 credits x 5 semesters) from lecture courses offered in the chosen area of concentration. Please note that the 5 semesters include periods of study abroad. 5. Earn 42 credits from different subject areas In each subject area, students must earn a total of 42 credits from the required courses or required elective courses as specified in the table below. 38 Subject category Required/ Names of course subjects for required courses and Elective required electives (number of credits) (a) English for Required Academic course Excellence Required (15 credits or more English for Academic Excellence B (15 credits) English for Academic Excellence A (15 credits) electives required) (b) Foundation Courses Required course Introduction to World Issues (3 credits), Graduation Research Project (2 credits), Career Design 1 (1 credit), (10 credits or more Career Design 2 required) Composition 1 (3 credits), Composition 2 (3 credits), and (1 credit) Required Academic Reading Across Disciplines (3 credits) for a electives total of 9 credits in 3 subjects OR Expository Research Writing (3 credits) *Depending on English ability, 9 credits from 3 subjects or 3 credits from 1 subject need to be acquired. c) Humanities (9 credits or more Required World History (3 credits) course required) Philosophy, Culture & Civilization (3 credits), History of Western Philosophy (3 credits), History and Philosophy of Science (3 credits) *3 credits need to be acquired from one of the above-mentioned subjects Workshop: Drawing I, Workshop: Drawing II, Required Workshop: Sculpting I,Workshop: Sculpting II, electives Workshop: Traditional Japanese Culture, Workshop: Calligraphy *1 credit needs to be acquired from one of the above-mentioned workshops (they are each one credit) Workshop: Acting I , Workshop: Acting II, Workshop: Directing, Workshop: Noh Theater *1 credit needs to be acquired from one of the above-mentioned workshops (they are each one credit) 39 Workshop: Music Practice I (Improvisation Ensemble), Workshop: Music Practice II (Keyboards), Workshop: Music Practice III (Choral Ensemble), Workshop: Music Practice IV (Japanese Koto), Workshop: Music Practice V (Shakuhachi), Workshop: Music and Creativity I, Workshop: Music and Creativity II, Workshop: Music Composition for Western and Traditional Japanese Instruments, Workshop: Interpretative Dance *1 credit needs to be acquire from one of the above-mentioned workshops (they are each one credit) (d) Social Sciences Required (4 credits or more course Microeconomics (3 credits), Workshop: Political Simulation Game (1 credit) required) (e) Quantitative Required Math for Liberal Arts (3 credits), College Algebra (3 Reasoning & Natural electives credits), Calculus (3 credits), or Integrated Science (3 Sciences credits) plus Integrated Science Laboratory (1 credit) * 3 (3 credits or more credits need to be acquired from one of the required) above-mentioned subjects (f) Health & Physical Education Required course (1 credit or more Health and Physical Education 1 (1 credit) *Depending on the courses that are open, this can be acquired by selecting 1 course required) Minimum number of Total of 42 credits credits acquired from subject categories 6. Earn 45 credits from applied courses Students must earn a total of at least 45 credits from courses with applied content (elective courses with course numbers between 300 and 400). 7. Japanese Courses This graduation requirement exercises separate sets of rules for (I) students whose native language is Japanese and (II) international students. 40 I. Students whose native language is Japanese Students must take “Professional Writing in Japanese.” Credits earned from this course are not included in the credit count fulfilling the “Earn 3 credits from the iCLA Japan Studies Program” requirement. II. International students International students are to take “Japanese Language” as a required course in place of “(a) English for Academic Excellence” (at least 15 credits required), as specified in the “Earn 42 credits from different subject areas” requirement. Starting levels differ among students according to the results of the placement test. However, students must complete “Intermediate Japanese II” regardless of their starting level. Credits earned from Japanese Language courses are not included in the credit count fulfilling the “Earn 3 credits from the iCLA Japan Studies Program” requirement. C. iCLA Academic Advising System iCLA’s missions of learning, discovery and engagement encapsulate the fundamental foundation upon which our advising practices are built. Our excellent advising system entails a firm commitment to the best interests of the students at all times. a. Responsibilities of the Students 1. During the registration period of every semester, students should seek the advice and guidance of their advisors so as to assure adequate and systematic learning of their concentrations and the writing of their Graduation Research Projects. 2. Students should seek advice and guidance in deciding their study abroad destinations as well as in the preparation of their study plans in the college / university they are applying to. 3. Students should seek the advice of their advisors on writing papers for the Writing-Across-the-Curriculum program in each semester; in ensuring that they are taking appropriate courses related to their themes for the Graduation Research Project; in managing their personal portfolios; and in selecting appropriate materials for their public portfolios. 4. Students should seek information on opportunities for further studies in graduate schools and, or their career prospects. Although advisors are there to give students advice and guidance, it is the students’ sole responsibility to make sure that they understand the required courses and graduation requirements, and register their courses accordingly. Students must make sure to take appropriate courses at appropriate times by fully understanding the number of units required for compulsory and elective 41 courses, and the requirements for study abroad. It is by all means very important to be conscious of one’s own progress toward graduation. b. Academic Advising System 1. Only full-time faculty members who teach “seminars” will serve as academic Concentration Advisors. 2. Full-time faculty members who do not teach seminars will serve as “temporary advisors.” 3. EAE faculty members will serve as “EAE advisors” for EAE students. 4. JLP faculty members will serve as “international exchange student advisors.” 5. Each faculty member will have a maximum of 12 new students per year or 40 in total as advisees. c. Organization of the Academic Advising System The academic advising system has been designed to accommodate the different needs of students who enter the program under different circumstances, including: (1) EAE students upon entering the University, (2) international students who enter the iCLA curriculum as “degree-seeking students” and (3) international students who come to YGU as exchange students. Each of these different situations and the role of Academic Advisors will be explained in the following sections. Situation 1: EAE students upon entering the university During EAE EAE students receive advice from both EAE advisors, related to their EAE courses, and LAC advisors, who focus on the overall work done in the LAC. Although these functions overlap and reinforce each other, there are some important distinctions between the two advising systems offered to EAE students. The different advising roles of EAE and LAC advisors are explained more fully in the EAE Manual. The first semester after exiting EAE B (1st semester of the Liberal Arts Program) Concentration Advisors will start taking care of their advisees. Students attend an academic information session in the fall semester of their first year which will help them select Concentration Advisors. Once Concentration Advisors are decided, they will continue to serve as the students’ academic advisors until the students graduate. Please note that students who leave EAE after the spring semester (Situation 1a) will keep their EAE advisor until the end of the 1st semester of the Liberal Arts Program (fall semester). 42 Situation 2: International students (non-EAE students) entering the iCLA curriculum as degree-seeking students 1st semester of the Liberal Arts program Since they are largely unfamiliar with the faculty and courses upon entry, they will be assigned Temporary Advisors in their first semester. 2nd semester onwards Students will attend an academic information session in the fall semester and select Concentration Advisors before this semester ends. Concentration Advisors will start taking care of their advisees from the beginning of the following spring semester. Once Concentration Advisors are decided, they will continue to serve as the students’ academic advisors until they graduate. Situation 3: International students entering the iCLA curriculum as exchange students These students have somewhat different needs than the EAE students and international degree-seeking students. They will be assigned JLP faculty members as advisors for their semester or full year at iCLA. Only in rare cases, and pending on the mutual agreement between advisor and advisee, will these students be allowed to change advisors. A summary is shown in the following table: 2016 Spring Situation 1a: EAE students who leave During EAE EAE after the spring EAE Advisor semester 2016 Fall 1st semester of LA program EAE Advisor Situation 1b: 2017 Spring 2017 Fall 2nd semester of LA 3rd semester of LA program program Concentration Concentration Advisor Advisor 1st semester of LA 2nd semester of EAE students who leave During EAE During EAE program LA program EAE after the fall EAE Advisor EAE Advisor Concentration Concentration Advisor Advisor 1st semester of 2nd semester of LA 3rd semester of LA LA program program program Temporary Concentration Concentration Advisors Advisor Advisor semester or later Situation 2b: International students entering as degree -seeking students in fall Situation 3: Exchange students － Advisors for exchange students 43 d. Guidance under the Concentration and Academic Advising System Outline The academic advising system, which is separate from the EAE advisor and pre-academic advisor, is closely linked to the concentration system. Students take courses centered on their area of concentration, with a view to completing the Graduation Research Project, which serves as a culmination of all assignments completed at the iCLA. The academic advising system is a mechanism for providing integrated academic support in the stages leading up to the Graduation Research Project, through course registration advice provided by the full-time faculty member in charge of the student’s area of concentration. A full-time faculty member from the student’s chosen area of concentration is automatically appointed as academic advisor. The process through which concentration advisors are determined is outlined below: 1. Concentration Guidance Sessions In the period before students commence concentration courses, a group of full-time faculty members take on the role of academic advisors. The advisors conduct guidance sessions on both the concentration system and academic advising system and provide information about the characteristics of each seminar field and the instructors in charge of each area. Information regarding possible university exchange is also disseminated. 2. Declaration of Concentration Students declare their area of concentration and submit an enrollment plan. 3. Selection (if required) If there are numerous students wishing to study a certain area of concentration, students will be selected based on interviews. Each full-time faculty member can provide guidance to a maximum of 12 students. 4. Confirmation of Academic Advisor The full-time faculty members in charge of the 4th year seminars of each area of concentration (a total of eight areas) are appointed as concentration advisors. Aside from Language Arts and Economics –each of which have two leading faculty advisors– there is only one faculty member leading each seminar. As such, most concentration advisors are automatically determined when students select their concentration. Concentration Guidance Sessions Purpose: To enable students to select concentrations and academic advisors by providing 44 information regarding the characteristics of study in each seminar field, the instructors in charge of each area, and potential locations to study abroad. Period: Each year in November Target students: Regular students taking EAE B, or who are in first or second semester of the Liberal Arts Program. Concentration advisors: A total of 10 full-time faculty members who conduct the seminars. Additional Information Office Hours Faculty members set aside three hours at least twice a week each week for Office Hours, during which time the advisor is available for consultation with advisees. Changing Concentration Advisors Students will be allowed to change advisors and their concentration(s) in some circumstances. Firstly, in cases where both advisor and advisee agree that a change is needed. Secondly, if only the advisee wants to change, the advisee is required to discuss the matter with his/her advisor. This will give the advisor the opportunity to inform the student about possible negative consequences of such changes (e.g. the student may no longer be able to graduate within 4 years). Although these two cases apply in principle to all students, this will not be the norm for students in EAE and for international exchange students. D. Course Registration a. Registering for Courses Course registration is a compulsory step for students to take, in order to take courses and earn credits. During the course registration process, students register for courses that they wish to take. If course registration is not accurately completed, students will not earn credits, even if they attend the course. Students should take complete responsibility for the course registration process and must ensure that it is accurately conducted. In addition, when selecting courses, students are advised to create a yearly study plan. The selection of courses significantly affects course registration for the following academic year, and students can receive advice from the advisor, in terms of creating an effective academic plan. Course registration occurs twice a year: at the beginning of the Spring Semester in April and that of the Fall Semester in September. Students register for courses online during the designated 45 registration period for each semester. The registration periods are specified in the Academic Calendar. When registering for courses, it is extremely important for students to formulate course plans, especially in relation to their four-year plans leading to graduation. Make sure to fully understand the graduation requirements (page 38) and formulate long-term plans. It is also important to note that online registration for EAE students and exchange students is conducted by the iCLA Administrative Office; therefore, students do not need to complete this procedure themselves. Restrictions on the Number of Credits The maximum number of credits permitted for each year of study is given in the table below. Please be noted that it is not possible to register for more courses after the maximum number of credits per academic year is reached. As a guide, we recommend that students aim to take between 15 and 18 credits per semester. Year of study Maximum no. of credits Freshmen Sophomore Junior Senior 36 42 42 42 Important Points Concerning Course Registration Students are wholly responsible for their own course registration. Students are generally not permitted to register for courses outside of the registration period. Students should ensure that there are no errors in their registration for courses. Students are not permitted to change courses after registration is finalized. It is not possible to exceed the designated maximum number of credits for each year of study. All courses will be rendered invalid if students exceed the maximum number of credits. It is not possible to re-register for any course for which credits have already been acquired. It is not possible for students in the lower years of study to take courses offered only in the upper years of study. It is possible for students in the upper years of study to take courses offered in the lower years of study. If students are assigned to a specific section of a class, they must register for that section. It is not possible to register for two courses that take place at the same time. If a student registers for two courses that take place simultaneously, both courses will be rendered invalid. If inaccuracy or deficiency of course registration is found, registration will be rendered invalid. 46 Please enter the information correctly. Students should obtain a copy of the “Timetable Confirmation Sheet” after their registration has been accepted and check that there are no mistakes in the courses registered. If a mistake has been made, students may change the course registration provided that they do so within the registration period. Students must take care not to lose the “Timetable Confirmation Sheet,” as it is necessary for course registration in the Fall Semester and taking examinations. Students must refer to the information regarding courses to be taken when studying abroad, prior to the period of studying abroad. b. Course Registration Procedure The course registration procedure comprises the following six steps: Step 1: The guidance period Year 1, semester 1 During the guidance period, orientation is held for all new students except for EAE and exchange students. Students attend orientation sessions, at which the registration process is explained. Year 1, from semester 2 onward During the guidance period, all students receive advice about course plans from their respective advisors (EAE advisors, temporary advisors, advisors for exchange students, and concentration advisors). Step 2: Formulation of course plans Students should download the latest timetable, curriculum table, syllabus, and course outlines from the iCLA website, and formulate course plans after reading these materials carefully. Step 3: Commencement of classes Students must attend the first class of any course that they wish to take to understand the main points for consideration when taking that course (otherwise, students will lose the opportunity to receive a Course Permission Certificate). 47 Step 4: Issuing permission to take courses If the number of students wishing to take a course exceeds the course quota or the capacity of the classroom, the instructor will choose which students are permitted to take the course, considering factors such as a student’s enthusiasm for the course and, in particular, the reasons why a student may need to take the course in that particular semester (i.e., to satisfy graduation requirements). The instructor should then issue a Course Permission Certificate to the selected students before the registration period starts. Students must submit the Course Permission Certificate issued by the instructor to the iCLA Administrative Office and obtain the Office seal. If students conduct the registration process without a Course Permission Certificate, they will not be able to participate in evaluations for that course. Step 5: Online registration Students complete online registration during the designated registration period at the beginning of each semester.（URL：http://www.ygu.ac.jp/guide/risyu.php (Japanese only) For an English manual, login to Edvance360 and go to Communities -> Academic Calendar -> Resources -> Student IT Manuals -> YGU Web Registration System – English Manual）In the case that students cannot register during the designated registration period due to health issues for example, please consult with the iCLA Administrative Office and get an instruction. After completing the registration process, please print out your timetables. Step 6: Drop/Add & Withdrawal If a student wishes to add or drop a course s/he may do so without penalty during the Course Add/Drop Period using the online registration system. If a student wishes to withdraw from a course during the Withdrawal Period, s/he must submit an application and complete the withdrawal procedure during the designated period (see the Academic Calendar). When a student withdraws from a course, his/her grade will be displayed as “W” (Withdrawal) and the course will not count toward his/her GPA. Please see the next section for a sample Withdrawal Application Form. Any withdrawals after the Withdrawal Period will result in a “F” (Fail) grade. 48 Course Withdrawal Application Form (Sample) 49 E. Examinations Students take final examinations and make-up/retake examinations. In addition, depending on the course, instructors may conduct regular examinations as per their own discretion. Students cannot receive credits for courses unless they pass these examinations. a. End-of-Semester Examinations i. Examination Timetable The timetable for final examinations is announced via the bulletin board one week before the start of examinations. Please note that examination times differ from regular class times. *During the Winter Program, examinations are conducted immediately after the end of classes. ii. Examination Eligibility Requirements A student will be disqualified from taking an examination and receiving credits in the following situations: If the student does not display his/her student ID; If the student has not registered for the course using the Course Registration Form; If the student has not paid his/her tuition fees or other necessary fees (except for students who are exempt from paying tuition fees, in accordance with the provisions of Article 39 of the “University Rules and Regulations”); and If the student is absent for more than one third of the classes on the course (however, instructors may impose stricter attendance regulations after specifying them clearly in advance in the course syllabus). iii. Important Points Regarding Examinations Carry your student ID card to the exams. When taking exams, make sure to follow the instructions of the supervisors, take the allotted seats, and place the student ID card on the table by the isle. Before beginning the exams, close any unauthorized notebooks, textbooks, reference materials, etc. and place them inside your bag and under your chair. Cases, pen cases, etc. must also be placed inside your bag. Mobile phones and other unauthorized electronic devices must be completely switched off and placed inside the bag. Watch alarm functions and any miscellaneous functions are prohibited. Desk pads are, in principle, not to be used. When notebooks, textbooks, reference materials, etc. are allowed, lending and borrowing those during exams is forbidden. Entrance in the room is not allowed15 minutes after the exam commencement time. Similarly, exit from the rooms is only allowed 30 minutes after the exam 50 commencement time. Those who complete the exam shall place the answer sheet in the designated location and immediately leave the room. The answer sheet, even if left blank, must be completely filled with the name and student ID number. Names and other pertinent information must be filled with ballpoint pens, fountain pens, or any other writing instruments that use permanent ink. Persons engaging in illicit behavior during the exams will be asked to leave the room. The subsequent handling of these cases shall be performed in accordance with the instructions of the General Manager of the Division implementing the exam. A temporary student ID card will be issued only for students with student ID card reissuance procedures completed. The temporary student ID card must be returned immediately after its expiration date. iv. Illicit Behavior during Examinations Upon the confirmation of illicit behavior through an appropriate hearing, opportunities to take subsequent exams shall be suspended and exams for all courses taken during the related semester will be deemed invalid (considered as the “abandonment of the exam”). However, after consideration of the circumstances, exams for courses already taken may not be considered invalid. Persons engaging in illicit behavior will be punished in accordance with University Policies and Regulations. Persons engaging in illicit behavior will have such a fact publicized to the entire school and have their parents/guardians notified. The following are examples (not limited to these examples) of illicit behavior that will be subject to punishment: Proxy exams taken by persons other than the student; Possession of cheat sheets; Sheets hidden in the shelf under the desks are also forbidden; Exchange of answer sheets; Mutual sharing of answer sheets; Writing on desks; Filling in false names on the answer sheet or attendance list; Taking or disposing of answer sheets; Whispering, discussing, peeping, looking aside, or using any other objects than those allowed in the exams; 51 Lending or borrowing objects that are allowed in the exams; Using handheld communication terminals (including dictionaries, watches, or calculators); Refusing to follow instructions by supervisors. b. Make-up Examinations Make-up examinations are provided for students who, due to circumstances beyond their control, are unable to take final examinations. In such cases, students must seek approval by submitting an Exam Absence Form (one form per course). Please refer to the sample form at the end of this section. Make-up examinations will only be applied to exams performed during the final exam period. Mid-term exams taking place at other times (as well as other exams) are not part of the official make-up examination system. Please talk to and consider the advice of your instructor. i. Exam Absence Form Please attach the related documentation issued by public entities or their equivalent described in the table below to the Exam Absence Form and submit them to the iCLA Administrative Office within three days of the date of the exam in question. Note that there are cases when the form application period is specifically determined. Reason for Absence Documentation Death or funeral of a relative (within a third-degree relationship) Funeral Attendance Letter (a printed document that shows the date of the funeral, etc.) Medical Diagnosis Certificate issued by a medical institution (certificates issued by dental clinics will not be accepted) Illness, etc. Traffic accidents Accident Certificate Delays in transportation such as buses and trains, etc. Certificate of Lateness (issued by stations, etc.) Employment exams Participation in competitions as a representative of the university, etc. or national (or above level) competitions Others After being advised at the Career Development Center, a document with an acceptance stamp containing the name of the entity performing the employment test such as the company/group/ public office, etc. Program of said competition or document evidencing attendance stamped by the General Manager of the club to which the student belongs Document describing the reason for not being able to take the exam or another document capable of describing the said reason 52 ii. Important Points Regarding Make-up Examinations Make-up examination evaluation will be performed in accordance with the regular exams. Those absent from make-up examinations will not be permitted to undertake a second make-up examination. Regarding details on make-up examinations, there will be announcements made through notices in late August and early January. iii.

Please carry your student ID card. c. Retake Examinations Retake examinations are provided for students who receive a Fail (F) grade for the final examination on a course. However, retake examinations are not provided for Seminar, Laboratory, and Workshop courses or Health & Physical Education practicals. Moreover, course instructors may decide not to offer retake examinations as per their own discretion. i. Important Points Concerning Retake Examinations All students are eligible for retake examinations (as opposed to other faculties, in which eligibility is restricted to fourth-year students). Retake examinations are provided for students who receive a Fail (F) grade for a final exam that they have taken that academic year. (However, students are not eligible for retake examinations on courses for which they simply failed to attend the final examination.) There is a designated reception period for retake examinations. Students are not permitted to take examinations after the designated period. The highest possible grades for retake examinations are D (60 points) and P (pass). Regarding details on retake examinations, there will be announcements made through notices in late August and early January. ii. Procedures regarding Re-take Examinations Students who have completed a course and received * Regarding exams that were not a failing grade (F) in the said course during the academic taken due to “exam abandonment,” year will be notified regarding whether they are eligible for permission for taking the exams re-take examinations in late August for Spring Semester will not be granted. courses and in early January for Fall Semester courses.

Dealing with EAE Examinations See the EAE Manual for information on examinations for “English for Academic Excellence A” and “English for Academic Excellence B.” d. Final Reports a. Important Points Regarding the Preparation of Final Reports Reports must be completed with the course name, instructor’s name, grade, student ID number, name of the student, and date and must be stapled together. If there are instructions provided by the instructor, then such instructions must also be followed. If there are instructions given by the instructor regarding fonts, spacing, margins, etc., these must also be followed. Include page numbers. When preparing the report, if there are references to Webpages, third-person works, etc., follow the rules for quotations given by the instructor and take measures to avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism of reports and common preparation of reports when related instructions have not been provided will be considered invalid. b. Important Points Regarding the Submission of Final Reports Confirm the report topics, number of pages, submission deadline, and location of submission. Make sure to submit the report by the designated deadline since submissions after the assigned time will not be accepted. 55 Exam Absence Form (Sample) 56 F. Grade Evaluation and GPA a. Grade Evaluation Grade evaluation is conducted for each course based on written and oral examinations (presentations) as well as on reports, practicals, work productions, and the student’s regular learning situation. Grade evaluations are organized on a five-grade scale, where students who receive grades between A and D are awarded credits, and F denotes a fail. Grades, grade points (hereinafter referred to as “GP”), and corresponding evaluation scores are given in the table below. Classification Pass Fail Not subject to GP Grade Evaluation score GP Interpretation of grade A 100–90 4.0 Excellent B 89–80 3.0 Good C 79–70 2.0 Satisfactory D 69–60 1.0 Marginal F Less than 59 0.0 Fail P Above 60 ― Pass NP Less than 59 ― Non-Pass R Recognized credit course ― Recognized Credit W Withdrawal ― Withdrawal b. GPA (Grade Point Average) GPA Calculation Formula “GPA” indicates the average grade points earned per credit. The figure is calculated using the formulas given in the tables below. A student’s GPA is calculated and displayed using values rounded to two decimal places. Year GPA and Semester GPA Year GPA is calculated per academic year, and Semester GPA is calculated per semester. Method for Calculating Year GPA Sum total of [(number of credits for course) × (GP earned for that course)] Sum total of the number of credits for which a student has registered during the academic year (including “F” credits) Method for Calculating Semester GPA Sum total of [(number of credits for course) × (GP earned for that course)] Sum total of the number of credits for which a student has registered during the semester (including “F” credits) 57 Cumulative GPA Cumulative GPA is calculated based on the grades earned from the time of entrance into the University to the present. Method for Calculating Cumulative GPA Sum total of [(number of credits for course) × (GP earned for that course)] Total number of credits for which a student has registered (including “F” credits) Important Points Concerning GPA When calculating Year and Semester GPA, courses failed (F grades) during the year or semester are included in the number of credits for which a student has registered. When calculating cumulative GPA, if a pass has been achieved by retaking a course after an initial fail (F grade), or if the student receives another fail (F grade) after retaking the course, the initial fail grade is not included in the calculation. Passes and fails for courses that are not subject to GPA (P and NP grades) are not included in the GPA calculation. Courses that do not carry credits toward graduation (Internships) are not included in GPA calculations. c. Criteria for the Issue of Certificate of Expected Graduation Fourth year students who are expecting to graduate can obtain a Certificate of Expected Graduation through a predetermined application procedure. This certificate differs from others in that it is not issued to all students who apply. Students must satisfy certain criteria for “expected graduation” and must have taken courses in a systematic manner from the first year of study. Even if the student has obtained the maximum number of credits that can be taken in the fourth year, the certificate cannot be issued if he/she has not obtained the number of credits required for graduation. Criteria for the Issue of Certificate of Expected Graduation Fourth year Students who have earned at least 82 credits 58 d. Grade Reports Grade reports will be issued by mid-August and early March for Spring and Fall Semester courses, respectively. For Japanese degree-seeking students, grade reports will be sent to their guardians from the iCLA Administrative Office while international degree-seeking students will receive their grade reports at their registered home addresses in Japan. Exchange students will, on the other hand, receive a copy electronically. Please note that specific dates will be announced on the notice board. When earlier academic record confirmations are required for study abroad etc., it is possible to make earlier announcements than the ones described above. e. Inquiries about Grades For completed courses, students may request more detailed explanations of grades from an instructor in writing, for strengthening the learning outcomes from that course. The instructor should aim to respond to these requests within one week of receiving the inquiry. It is also important to note that the period for making inquiries about grades covers the two weeks after the results are announced. G. Student Status a. Overview At iCLA, there are three types of student statuses: Degree-Seeking, Exchange, and Special Register. Degree-Seeking: Students who are enrolled in courses for credit and are considered to be pursuing a degree at YGU. Exchange: Students officially enrolled at another institution abroad who study at YGU full-time under an exchange agreement between YGU and their home institution. Special Register: Students officially enrolled at another institution who study for credit at YGU with special permission. b. Changes in Student Status Students enrolled in iCLA, on occasion, may voluntarily change their enrollment status due to circumstances including, but not limited to, illness, family emergencies, financial problems, etc. Additionally, the University may take action to change student status under special circumstances outlined in this section. While the Office of Academic Affairs (Kyomu-ka) is the official place to handle the forms and documents, iCLA students should consult with iCLA faculty and staff when they need assistance in voluntarily making these decisions. 59 c. Withdrawal or Expulsion (退学 Taigaku ) This change in status applies to students who discontinue study at iCLA. For this change to be applied, authorization is required from the University President. Yamanashi Gakuin University Policies and Regulations Article 43 states that: 1. The president will take disciplinary action following a faculty meeting resolution against students who violate YGU’s rules or who engage in conduct that violates duties as students. 2. The types of disciplinary action provided for in the preceding paragraph are expulsion, suspension, or warnings. 3. Expulsion provided for in the preceding paragraph is taken against individuals who fall under any of the following items: a. Individuals who demonstrate poor character and conduct which is not expected to improve b. Individuals who are constantly absent for no justifiable reason c. Individuals who disrupt order at YGU or who significantly violate their duties as students d. Transfer When students wish to transfer to another institution, they are required to obtain permission from the University President by submitting a form detailing the reason(s) for the request. For students who have transferred into iCLA, the transferability of their credits will be determined by the Credit Transfer Committee. Accordingly, their course selection should be carefully developed in consultation with assigned advisors upon entrance. e. Leave of Absence In principle, this status indicates a temporary leave for no longer than one year. It is important to note that this status remains effective within the same academic year (April – March) when the request is approved. It is granted with the permission of the University President when students are unable to attend school for more than three months due to illness or other special reasons. There are five points that students who wish to claim this status should bear in mind: If it is not possible to attend classes for three months or more due to illness or some other reason, a student may take a leave of absence by submitting a request, signed by the guarantors, attaching a medical certificate from a designated physician or a detailed explanation of the grounds, and obtaining permission from the president. Leaves of absence may not continue for more than one year; provided, however, that 60 extensions to a leave of absence may be granted for up to one year if there are exceptional circumstances. Leaves of absence may not exceed a total of four years. Leaves of absence are not counted towards a student’s four-year term of enrollment. A student may return to the university having obtained permission from the president if the grounds for leave expire during the leave of absence. Students should be informed that according to YGU policy, tuition, facility and equipment fees, etc. are collected as long as a student is on the student register, regardless of whether or not the student attends classes; provided, however, that students shall be exempt from paying tuition while on a leave of absence. 1. Students permitted to take a leave of absence must also make the Payments provided for in Article 3 during their leave of absence; provided, however, that students whose leave of absence extends for a full academic year (April 1 to March 31) shall be exempt from tuition and tuition shall be refunded after the end of the leave of absence. 2. The Payments provided for in Article 3 must be made even if a leave of absence is approved midway through a year; provided, however, that students shall be exempt from tuition during the leave of absence and tuition shall be repaid one month’s fees at a time after the end of the leave of absence. 3. Requests for leaves of absence or to withdraw are not permitted if there are outstanding Payments. f. Dismissal This status is assigned when the University removes a student from its registrar system, which typically occurs in the following situations: Students will be dismissed if falling under any of the following items: 1. If payment of tuition and other obligations has been neglected and these are not paid despite reminders being issued. 2. When the student enrolled in a four-year program fails to graduate within eight years, with the exception of special circumstances. 3. If the period of a leave of absence is exceeded and the grounds for leave remain. 4. If a course registration form has not been submitted in a particular academic year despite the student having received a reminder. 5. If a students’ whereabouts are unknown for a long period of time. 61 g. Reinstatement of Student Status In order for students on Leave of Absence to return, they need to fill out the specified form 復学願 (fukugaku negai). Note that due to the nature and timing of course registration, students cannot reinstate their status and return in the middle of an academic semester. Those who have withdrawn from iCLA may be able to reenroll through a screening process provided that the department student capacity allows for the reenrollment of a student. h. Course Registration upon Reenrolling or Returning from Leave of Absence When a student who has withdrawn from YGU/iCLA reenrolls, or when a student who has been on leave of absence returns, course registration will proceed according to the protocol outlined below: 1. Course registration will occur in accordance to the curriculum in place at the time the student returns/reenrolls. 2. In the case that the current curriculum differs from the one which governed the student’s studies prior to withdrawal or leave of absence, the student is subject to the rules of the new curriculum, which may reflect changes in requirements or prerequisites. 3. Credits earned in the old curriculum will remain valid even if the courses from which they were earned are no longer listed in the new curriculum. 62 3. Student Life A. Dormitory Guide a. Overview of the Student Dormitory i. Name and Address Name: Yamanashi Gakuin University International College of Liberal Arts Student Dormitory Address: 2-7-17 Sakaori, Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture, 400-8575. ii. Objectives of the Student Dormitory and Mandatory Residence One of the main objectives of the iCLA is to cultivate familiarity and tolerance for other cultures. The objective of the Student Dormitory is to provide students the opportunity to live in a multicultural environment with other students from across the world and, by so doing, to help them to gain an understanding of the theories and mindsets that are common throughout the world by expressing themselves and forming accurate arguments, developing self-discipline and consideration for others, and deepening their understanding of other cultures. In addition, these objectives reflect the essential qualities required during the period of study abroad and have a significant influence on students’ ability to focus on their studies. Therefore, to achieve these educational objectives, all full-time first-year students at YGU must live in the Student Dormitory for a period of one year. iii. Management YGU is responsible for managing the Student Dormitory. The Student Center is responsible for allocating rooms, collecting accommodation fees, managing facilities, etc.; and also for overseeing the overall management of the dormitory. In addition, the dormitory management staff is responsible for managing safety inside the dormitory, 24 hours a day. Floor Representatives (FRs) are elected, who will offer support to students during their everyday lives, ensure that the rules of the dormitory are observed, and give advice to residents. In addition, to maintain discipline in the lives of residents, a Dormitory Life Committee has been established to which the FRs will belong. 63 iv.

However, if it is determined that a room change is necessary (for example, in the case of trouble between roommates), the Student Center will consider the possibility of changing room assignment. Please consult the Student Center if you have any worries or concerns. vii. Unitmate Agreement Unlike living alone, living in a student dormitory involves sharing part of one’s living space with other students with different ways of lifestyles. To live together comfortably, it is essential to establish common rules to which all members of the unit agree. Therefore, to ensure that all students enjoy a comfortable life at YGU, students are expected to exchange an agreement on communal living in the unit. This agreement is called the “Unitmate Agreement.” 65 Students should discuss the following matters with reference to (8) Communal Living and submit the Contract to the Student Center by the designated date. ・Lifestyle habits ・Lending of personal belongings ・Cleaning duty ・Management of valuables ・Listening to music ・Sleeping and rising times ・Allergies ・Telephone and chat times ・Others viii. Communal Living At iCLA, learning occurs on a multicultural campus, where students from Japan and overseas come together to study. The Student Dormitory is also a cosmopolitan living environment, being home to students from various cultures. All students working toward a degree at iCLA must study abroad for one year. Additionally, during their period of study abroad students may experience a communal living situation. ix. Ensuring a Comfortable Communal Life To ensure a comfortable communal life in the dormitory, it is important to build relationships of trust with one’s unitmates. Students should consider the following advice to create a trouble-free life in the dormitory: • Face-to-face Conversation While it is acceptable to communicate with one’s unitmates via social networking service such as Facebook, students should try to understand one another through face-to-face conversation, rather than making judgments based only on online interaction. • Resolving Issues Early If a student feels uncomfortable with the habits or behavior of his/her unitmate(s) while living together in a unit, or if a more serious problem is experienced, he/she should tell the person(s) concerned about this honestly and discuss a solution as soon as possible. If the student becomes excessively stressed or dissatisfied, feelings toward the unitmate(s) may transform into anger. If the student is no longer able to contain this anger, he/she may end up reproaching the unitmate(s) too severely. Students should try to resolve issues early. • Building Mutual Respect Unitmates are part of a team sharing a living environment. Rather than feeling that they “have to get on well” with each other, it is recommended that they expect to enter into a relationship of mutual respect for the common living space. 66 • Working out Differences Students should mentally prepare themselves to “work out differences” with their unitmates. A certain amount of “give and take” is needed to ease the tension of communal living. “Working out differences” does not mean making sacrifices but, rather, discovering feasible rules for communal living with which both parties are comfortable. • Determining the Rules While unitmates may feel reluctant at first, they should determine a set of rules for communal living by having face-to-face conversations within a few days of moving in together. These rules will play an important role in their communal life during the course of the year. It is important for unitmates to gain an understanding of each other in relation to possible sources of discomfort or annoyance, such as cleaning the unit and listening to music. c. Move-Out Procedure i. Dormitory Move-Out Form Students should submit the Dormitory Move-Out Form (退寮届) to the Student Center at least one month before the day on which they wish to move out. They should inform the Student Center immediately if they wish to change their moving out date after form submission. ii. Cleaning the Units Students should clean the unit (including the common areas) thoroughly before the day of the damage check. iii. Damage Check (on the day of move-out) The Student Center will check rooms for damage on the day that a student moves out. A member of the dormitory management staff will inspect the rooms and common areas for damage and stains while the vacating students are present. YGU collects a deposit of ¥50,000 from each student. ¥16,200 (tax included) of this deposit is a cleaning fee that is used for repairing and cleaning the unit upon vacation. The remainder of the deposit (¥33,800) is returned to students after they move out, provided that no additional repairs or cleaning work is required. If such additional work is required and the cost exceeds the amount of the deposit, the Student Center will issue an invoice for the actual cost incurred to the student(s) responsible. In addition, students may be asked to pay for any damage or stains not recorded on the Checklist submitted upon moving in. 67 iv. Return of Keys, Security Cards, and Bedding Sets Students should return their room keys and SECOM security cards to the dormitory management staff at the time of the damage check. If a student is unable to return the borrowed key and/or security card, he or she will be required to pay for the replacement of the lock cylinder, key, and/or security card. When returning bedding sets (applicable only to students who have rented bedding sets), students should contact Maruzen Campus Shop directly to find out how to return the sets. If conspicuous damage/stains are found, students may be charged. v. Oversized Garbage and Appliance Recycling Students are responsible for disposing of oversized garbage (粗大ごみ) and recycling appliances. Under no circumstances should students leave such items in their units when moving out. If the Student Center discovers that a student has left such items in a unit, they will identify the student and take disciplinary action. Students should confirm how to dispose of oversized garbage and recycle appliances with the dormitory management staff. vi. Notification of New Address After students move out of the dormitory, they should make sure to inform the Student Center of their new addresses. vii. Mail Forwarding Form Students should register for the “Mail Forwarding Service” (郵便物の転居・転送) via the Japan Post Office homepage using the following link: http://www.post.japanpost.jp/service/tenkyo/index.html.

Access to the labs is subject to YGU class schedules. ii. Information Services Digital Resources and Online Databases The YGU General Library is subscribed to the JSTOR database, a digital library of academic journals, books, and primary sources. JSTOR is available for usage only within Library premises for now. iCLA Learning Management System (Edvance) iCLA is using a Learning Management System (LMS) as a tool for sharing educational materials in a closed environment. The LMS may also be used for many classroom tasks including attendance tracking, quizzes, and handing out assignments, depending on the instructor. Course evaluations are also conducted on the LMS. The LMS also acts as a messaging platform through which iCLA students, faculty, and staff can communicate with each other. Important announcements to the whole student body regarding classes, registration, academic guidance and other matters are sent through the LMS 90 by the iCLA Administrative Office and Dean of Students Office, therefore it is important that students regularly check the LMS for received messages. Orientations on LMS usage will be held for all new students at the start of each semester, during which they will be provided with usernames and initial passwords. Access URL: https://edvance360.com/yguiclajp/ University Email YGU provides each student with a Gmail-based email account, subject to Gmail usage regulations and space limitations. All regular students must check their YGU email accounts at least once a day during the orientation and classes, as all course-related information and important announcements are communicated mainly by email. Exchange students will also be supplied YGU accounts, and using a YGU account is optional. Although exchange students may use their home institution accounts and will be expected to do so, the obligation of checking email every day applies to exchange students as well. Your email address is u[your student number]@pop.ygu.ac.jp. You may access your email account as follows (note that this is subject to change): Access URL: https://gmail.ygu.ac.jp/a/pop.ygu.ac.jp Your email login details are formed as follows: Username: u + your student number on your student ID card (for example, if your number is 123456, your username is u123456). Password: NTPW + MMDD of your birthday, with two digits for both month and day. In case of numbers less than 10, you need to substitute the missing digit with a zero. For example, if your birthday is on May 11th, your password is NTPW0511. You are strongly encouraged to change your password immediately after arrival at YGU, as the same password is used in the online course registration system, computer lab login and the wireless network. You may change your initial password at one of the YGU computer labs (including SEEDS) as follows: 1. Log in using your email username and password. 2. After logging in, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete on the keyboard. 91 3. Click “パスワードの変更” (Change Password). 4. Input your current password into the “古いパスワード” (Old Password) box. 5.

These are the same as your YGU email username and password. Student Printing and Copying In addition to the printers and copiers in the General Library and the YGU IT Lounge and Library (Seeds), a printer and copier are available for student use in the 2F study areas located near the iCLA East Tower elevator. The copiers in both locations are coin-operated. The copier at the iCLA study area is also able to scan documents to a USB flash drive free of charge. The printer in the iCLA study area is usable by USB connection to your laptop and requires a driver. Instructions to install this driver are available on Edvance360 in the following location: Communities -> Academic Calendar -> Resources -> Student IT Manuals -> How to use iCLA Quiet Study Space Printer (MacOS/Windows). Students should note that the iCLA Administrative Office will not will print out files or make photocopies for students. Student Computer Assistance Students who need help using Edvance (iCLA’s current Learning Management System) can request assistance at the iCLA Administrative Office.

Insurance and Finances A. Payment of Tuition Fees a. Tuition Fee Payment System Students are required to use the designated university transfer forms to pay tuition fees while enrolled at the university. The transfer of fees to the designated bank account must be made prior to the deadline. The Office of Accounting at Yamanashi Gakuin University is unable to accept tuition fee payments over the counter. As a general rule, tuition fees are payable as a lump sum; however, it is also possible to divide the designated amount into Spring Semester and Fall Semester installments. Tuition fees must be paid prior to each deadline. Failure to pay the tuition before the deadline may result in dismissal from the university. Notifications regarding tuition fee payment are generally sent to the address of the student’s guardian in mid-March (Spring Semester) and mid-July (Fall Semester). A payment form is included with the notification. Tuition fees are non-refundable. b. Postponement of Tuition Fee Payment If students are unable to pay the tuition fees by the specified due date due to unforeseen circumstances, submission of an “Application for Delayed Payment of Tuition and Fees” to the Student Center is required.

Plagiarism Guidelines a. Introduction Plagiarism is the unauthorized duplication or reproduction of another author’s reports, academic papers, or other published works, when represented as one’s own original work without reference to the source. Plagiarism contravenes the tenets and morals of academia. In non-academic contexts, plagiarism violates the Copyright Act and can even result in imprisonment, fines, and requests for compensation for damages or the publication of an apology. At iCLA, plagiarism is regarded as a dishonest practice, the results of which are unworthy of evaluation. Whether intentional or unintentional, acts of plagiarism lead to strict punishments equivalent to those given to students who are found guilty of dishonest practices during examinations or any other forms of evaluated work. Indeed, as iCLA is an institution full of cultural and linguistic diversity, the perception of what constitutes plagiarism can vary depending on students’ own academic norms, social expectations, and communication styles. The guidelines outlined here serve as a point of reference to which students can turn when in doubt. It is strongly recommended, however, that they ensure to consult their instructors as necessary. b. Examples of Plagiarism Unreferenced use of printed materials (books, magazines, newspapers, etc.) or online text or materials written by other authors (including unattributed work); preparation of reports or papers in which the author makes only slight changes to the content/to words and phrases. Brief citation of sources at the end, without giving details of the section of the work being quoted; for example “See xx.” Representation of another author’s work as one’s own original work or the preparation of academic papers and reports in which the author makes only slight changes to the content/to words and phrases. Submitting the same, similar, or portions of the same work to more than one course without consulting with instructor(s) can result in plagiarism. Therefore, students should take caution even when recycling their own ideas. Students should be cautious when working on group assignments, as using another student’s work without giving credit to the person is regarded as plagiarism. Similarly, while students may form study groups to generate ideas together for individual assignments, it is imperative to acknowledge the source of the ideas. 116 The examples of plagiarism listed above are not exhaustive and serve only to illustrate the various forms that plagiarism can take. If students are in doubt whether or not a certain act constitutes plagiarism, they should consult with their instructors to confirm. c. Measures to Prevent Plagiarism When preparing a report, there is no problem in quoting information gathered from sources such as academic journals, the Internet, lectures, and other classes. However, these sources must always be clearly indicated, and if the source for any quotation is unintentionally omitted, then the work may be considered as plagiarism. Plagiarism may be avoided by the incorporation and strict respect of the basic rules of quotations. When course instructors provide instructions on quotation rules, please follow them. Distinguish the original text from the quotations. In cases of incorporating essays, reports, data, etc. by other persons in your own report, make sure to clearly let the reader know that this is not a part of your own work, but the work of a third person. Sources must be clearly indicated. Names of authors, titles of essays, names of magazines, volume numbers, pages, years of publication, and in case of website materials, the URL and the date of access, etc. Do not change the contents of the quoted portion. Deliberately changing a text or portion of the material so as to make it appear as your own work is considered plagiarism. If students wish to incorporate another author’s ideas, however, they are required to paraphrase them and mention the source. For more information on paraphrasing, there are useful resources available online as listed below. d. Useful Resources For different types of plagiarism: For tips for paraphrasing: http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k70847&pageid=icb.page342054 https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/619/1/ For various types of questions regarding academic writing: http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/ 117 e. Academic Repercussions of Plagiarism In principle, each course instructor has his or her own policy. Therefore, students should read each syllabus carefully and consult with their instructors to clarify any questions they may have in this regard. In case students find their judgment or instructions to be unfair, go to page 125 for more information on grievances. B. Discrimination and Harassment Prevention a. YGU Declaration for the Prevention of Harassment YGU respects every student and employee at its University, Schools, and Kindergarten as individuals and recognizes the importance of creating and maintaining environments in which students and employees can engage in study, education, research, work, and other related activities in an atmosphere of mutual trust. Harassment refers to unwelcome verbal or physical behavior in the context of education, research, study, work, or other related activities that cause an individual to feel discriminated against, threatened, humiliated, or uncomfortable. Harassment also includes behavior that serves to worsen an individual’s educational, research, study, or work environment; for example, by providing disadvantages as a result of the victim’s response to the harassment. At YGU, the definition of “harassment” includes sexual, academic, and power-related harassment. YGU recognizes that campus harassment not only compromises the personal dignity of individuals and infringes upon human rights but also infringes upon the rights of the students and staff at YGU to engage in education, research, and/or work. Therefore, YGU is firmly committed to excluding and preventing harassment across the campus. Furthermore, YGU has established Harassment Prevention Guidelines and endeavors to create a harassment-free environment through the adoption of institutional measures for responding to and resolving harassment-related problems, and by conducting regular activities aimed at promoting understanding and recognition among students and employees. b. iCLA Non-Discrimination Statement iCLA is an international institution committed to maintaining and fostering a learning environment in which all individuals, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, value systems, or any other elements which comprise important aspects of their identities, can strive and grow as global citizens. In pursuit of its mission to develop students’ capacity for critical, creative, independent, and global (CCIG) thinking, iCLA 118 recognizes the importance of building a diverse and inclusive community that thrives upon individual uniqueness and mutual respect. Acts of discrimination and harassment against the aforementioned elements inevitably compromise one of iCLA’s Educational Goals to “foster the development of unique individuals with a spirit of self-discipline and tolerance” (page 1). Furthermore, they endanger the integrity of an educational environment which nurtures the ideal of treating all individuals with respect and dignity. To fulfill its promises, iCLA does not tolerate any unlawful, discriminatory or hateful acts and those found responsible for this kind of unacceptable behavior will be subject to reasonable and appropriate disciplinary measures, in accordance to the rules and policies established by the iCLA and YGU, as well as Japanese law. c. What Constitutes Discrimination The word discrimination, according to Oxford Dictionaries, is defined as “the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.” Discrimination manifests itself in a multitude of forms, including, but not limited to, verbal, written, physical, graphic, and electronic. It is also important to note that discrimination can be overt, covert, intentional, and unintentional. d. What Constitutes Harassment Harassment can be considered as unwelcome verbal, written, visual or physical conduct towards another person or identifiable group of persons that has the intention or effect of: 1. Creating an intimidating or hostile educational, work, or living environment; 2. Undermining, detracting from, or interfering with an individual’s educational or work performance, access to school resources, or participation in educational/professional activities; 3. Disadvantaging or creating discomfort to individuals based on race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, value systems, or any other elements which comprise important aspects of their identities. The causes and manifestations of harassment are wide-ranging and complex, encompassing all forms of harassment, including sexual harassment, stalking, racial harassment, personal harassment, bullying, academic harassment, and power harassment –the common trait of which is the violation of fundamental rights, personal worth, and human dignity. 119 e. Types of Harassment Commonly occurring forms of harassment are explained in greater detail below. However, iCLA acknowledges the importance of broadly recognizing and responding to complaints, rather than strictly adhering to these definitions. As such, students should consider the below definitions as not exhaustive but helpful guidelines meant to shed light upon the complex nature of harassment and to assist them in reporting cases of harassment should the need arise. Students and employees who believe they are being harassed should immediately report such concerns. Academic Harassment This type of harassment encompasses academically inappropriate remarks, behavior, and guidance by a faculty member or an individual of authority within the university with the intention or effect delineated in the above section. In the case of harassment between faculty and student, an instructor may refuse to offer proper academic guidance, display discriminatory behaviors or attitudes during class instruction against a single student or group of students, and make unfair grading evaluations. Personal Harassment Personal harassment is behavior that humiliates, intimidates, excludes, and isolates an individual or group through malicious gestures or actions. Bullying is a form of personal harassment that may include physical, verbal, or emotional abuse. Power Harassment Power harassment is inappropriate behavior, either intentional or unintentional, committed by faculty or staff members who use their position of power or seniority in such a way that causes one or more co-workers psychological or physical stress, thereby debilitating an individual or group of individuals motivation to work and degrading the work environment beyond an appropriate scope of the organization’s functions. Sexual Harassment Sexual harassment refers to any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, requests for sexual favors, physical behavior, and written or verbal expressions in which 1. An individual suffers from a substantial interference or disadvantage in work or academic performance as a result of the abovementioned conduct. 2. Explicit or implicit submission to or rejection of unwelcome sexual conduct is used as the 120 basis for affecting an individual’s employment or academic standing. 3. The abovementioned conduct has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work, academic, or residential environment. In investigating and determining whether a particular act or series of acts constitute sexual harassment, consideration will be given to the testimony of the offended person. Sexual harassment may involve the behavior of a person of either sex. Stalking Stalking is considered a crime in Japan and is subject to legal consequences. It can be defined as irrational behavior directed at a specific person that involves repeated visual or physical proximity, nonconsensual communication in the form of, but not limited to, letters, notes, phone calls, voice messages, emails, and texts (or a combination thereof) which explicitly or implicitly deliver threats, thereby providing a reasonable cause for fear. Yamanashi Gakuin University recognizes the dangers of harassment and has created the Harassment Prevention Committee. Harassment counselors have been appointed throughout the campus, and are available for consultation. Below is a list of the YGU harassment counselors with the English speaking individuals marked with an asterisk. iCLA students may also address their initial concerns with the iCLA Dean of Students Office by contacting the Student Affairs coordinator. Counselor List: Counselor Name 神田 美津子 (Kanda, Mitsuko) 極楽寺 恵美子 (Gokurakuji, Emiko) 荒牧 重人 (Aramaki, Shigeto) 日高 昭夫 (Hidaka, Akio) 小菅 信子 (Kosuge, Nobuko) 野村 千佳子 (Nomura, Chikako) 長倉 富貴 (Nagakura, Fuki) シポス・ジョージ* (Sipos, George) 深澤 早苗 (Fukasawa, Sanae) Contact Information 055-224-1242 [email protected] 055-224-1241 [email protected] 055-224-1267 [email protected] 055-224-1374 [email protected] 055-224-1326 [email protected] 055-224-1335 [email protected] 055-224-1469 [email protected] 055-224-1633 [email protected] 055-224-1410 [email protected] 121 055-224-1604 [email protected] 055-224-1618 [email protected] 055-224-1205 [email protected] 055-224-1453 [email protected] 055-224-1405 [email protected] 穐山 美智子 (Akiyama, Michiko) 望月 香見 (Mochizuki, Yoshimi) 山岡 久美子 (Yamaoka, Kumiko) 小林 一 (Kobayashi, Hajime) 加藤 いづみ (Kato, Izumi) f. Creating a Safe and Healthy Community With the complex nature of discrimination and harassment in mind, iCLA aims to create a space for open dialogue in which all members of its community can work together to think about the difficult issues they face day to day. In accordance with YGU Guidelines (page 1), iCLA students are expected to learn to “respect the individuality of students” as well as to “actively support the desire to be challenged.” Yet, despite this overarching expectation, students may find it difficult to understand how to engage in productive conversations on sensitive topics such as their peers’ identities, bullying, and unwanted sexual advances. Therefore, in an effort to empower all students, the iCLA’s Dean of Students Office provides various opportunities such as workshops and guest speaker sessions where individuals can share their ideas and personal experiences. Students are also encouraged, through the iCLA Student Government, to propose and plan their own community engagement activities geared towards peer-to-peer empowerment and fostering an environment of mutual respect and compassion. g. Grievance Procedures iCLA strongly encourages any student who has a complaint to report the matter in a timely fashion. For more information about iCLA grievance procedures, please see page 128 for more information. C. Sexual Harassment & Assault a. Statement iCLA is committed to providing a safe learning and residential environment for all students, faculty, and staff and does not tolerate any acts that undermine this commitment as such sexual harassment and assault. Sexual harassment and assault, as outlined in this section, have a very detrimental impact on not only the victims, but also on the whole community. In recognition of the dangerous nature of such conduct, iCLA makes every effort to prevent, address, and solve issues in a prompt and appropriate manner. 122 b. Terminology & Definitions Sexual Harassment (also addressed in the previous section): This refers to any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, requests for sexual favors, physical behavior, and written or verbal expressions in which: 1. An individual suffers from a substantial interference or disadvantage in work or academic performance as a result of the abovementioned conduct. 2. Explicit or implicit submission to or rejection of unwelcome sexual conduct is used as the basis for affecting an individual’s employment or academic standing. 3. The abovementioned conduct has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work, academic, or residential environment. In investigating and determining whether a particular act or series of acts constitute sexual harassment, consideration will be given to the testimony of the offended person. Sexual harassment may involve the behavior of a person of either sex. Stalking (also addressed in the previous section): Considered a crime in Japan, stalking is subject to legal consequences. It can be defined as irrational behavior directed at a specific person that involves repeated visual or physical proximity, nonconsensual communication in the form of, but not limited to, letters, notes, phone calls, voice messages, emails, and texts (or a combination thereof) which explicitly or implicitly deliver threats, thereby providing a reasonable cause for fear. Sexual Assault: Sexual assault is any type of forced or coerced sexual contact or behavior that happens without explicit consent of the recipient, regardless of the sex and/or gender of the individuals involved. Such behavior, which encompasses the nonconsensual engagement in sexual activity of any kind, includes fondling, the unconsented touching, or attempt thereof, of an intimate bodily part of another individual with the intent of accomplishing a sexual act, the coerced and inappropriate disrobing of another individual, the indecent exposure of one’s genitals without the consent of the other, completed or attempted forced penetration of a victim, and unconsented acts in which a victim is forced to penetrate the perpetrator or another individual. Consent: In discourses relating to sexual harassment and assault, consent is a very critical concept that all students should bear in mind. Consent refers to an explicit agreement and permission given by 123 someone before engaging in and/or during sexual activity. Strictly speaking, affirmative consent, an unambiguous, positive, and voluntary “yes,” is the accepted form of consent prior to the initiation of acts of sexual nature. In contrast, negative consent alone poses limitations as it assumes that individuals are willing to engage in sexual activity unless they say “no.” Please note that consent needs to be expressed in mutually understandable terms in reference to a specific activity. In order to prevent any misunderstanding or trouble, students should never assume what constitutes consent and remember that whoever initiates sexual contact is responsible for obtaining consent. As a point of reference, please note the following types of common assumptions that one may make about consent: Consent given under the influence of alcohol and other types of judgment-impairing drugs is not considered valid. Silence, the absence of a yes/no, is never equivalent to consent. This includes body language and appearance that one may perceive to be indicative of his or her partner’s willingness (e.g. dresses, facial expressions, and acts). Consent is not a given in an either current or past relationships, including marriage. Regardless of these statuses, affirmative consent needs to be made. c. Consultation Procedures Any persons seeking advice on sexual harassment or assault should consult with any of the offices or centers below: 1. iCLA Dean of Students Office (Refer to the Grievance Procedures on page 128) 2. YGU Student Counseling Room (学生相談室) 055-224-1242 3. YGU Harassment Counselors (see list above) d. Confidentiality In the interest of individual privacy, iCLA makes every effort to maintain confidentiality. However, if it is necessary to disclose certain information to external organizations such as the police department, iCLA may proceed to do so after consultation with those who have reported grievances. e. What to do in the Case of Sexual Assault A student who has been recently assaulted should prioritize his or her own safety first. If in immediate danger, it is important to quickly find a safe place and call the local police (110). To assist in objectively deciding on the next steps to take, and also to have a source of emotional support, the student is encouraged to tell a trusted individual such as a roommate, friend, Floor 124 Representative, or YGU/iCLA staff member about the incident. The student should not hesitate to seek medical attention or, if necessary, call an ambulance (119). Even if the student did not sustain any physical injuries, it is highly recommended that he or she have a medical examination and discuss with a medical professional the possibility of exposure to sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy resulting from sexual assault. If students wish to speak confidentially with a YGU/iCLA-affiliated counselor, they should refer to the list above. It is the student’s personal choice whether or not to officially report the assault. However, iCLA strongly encourages students to report such incidents as this is the only way that the university and/or law enforcement can take action. If necessary, YGU/iCLA staff can assist a student in communicating with medical professionals and local authorities. D. Grievances a. Statement iCLA is committed to the creation of an environment where its members’ rights are protected. In order to address any concerns that may compromise this commitment, iCLA strives to provide resolutions to grievances in a prompt, fair, and just fashion. Constituents of the iCLA community are strongly encouraged to bring grievances to the attention of the appropriate channels through the procedures outlined below. b. Types of Grievances There are different types of grievances which iCLA is committed to addressing. Please note that the list below is by no means exhaustive and that, as such, students are encouraged to ask questions in case they are uncertain whether or not their cases are considered grievances. Curriculum-related Grievances: This type of grievance relates to the iCLA academic program and structure as a whole. Issues which may fall under curriculum-related grievances are dissatisfactions or concerns relating to the concentration system, advisor system, study abroad programs, graduation requirements course schedule, and course availability. 125 Course-related Grievances: This type of grievance relates to specific iCLA courses and issues which arise within individual lectures or workshops. Issues which may fall under course-related grievances are a lack of correlation between syllabus and actual course content, unforeseen payments for educational materials, and inaccuracy of educational content. Please note that it is recommended that students first discuss the issue with their instructors to see if a solution can be found. However, if these initial discussions do not resolve the issue at hand, then students should file a course grievance according to outlined procedures. Instructor-related Grievances: This type of grievance relates to specific iCLA course instructors. Issues which may fall under instructor-related grievances are ineffective classroom administration, concerns about teaching methodology or exam procedures, improper conduct or use of inappropriate language, and unfair treatment in the grade evaluation process. Academic Advisor-related Grievances: This type of grievance relates to specific iCLA academic advisors. Issues which may fall under academic advisor-related grievances are concerns with the content of advice given, lack of availability, and neglect of duty. Peer-related Grievances: This type of grievance relates to fellow students. Issues which may fall under peer-related grievances are bullying, harassment and discriminatory acts, and sexual harassment and assault. Staff-related Grievances: This type of grievance relates to iCLA/YGU staff. Issues which may fall under staff-related grievances are inappropriate behavior or speech and neglect of duty. Facility-related Grievances: This type of grievance relates to iCLA/YGU facilities. Issues which may fall under facility-related grievances are faulty air conditioning units which affect the ability of students to concentrate in class and damages or flaws in the building that compromise the safety and well-being of the individuals within it. 126 Issues relating to the dorm facilities and cafeteria should be first directed to the Floor Representatives and the iCLA Dormitory Life Committee. However, if these initial discussions do not resolve the issue at hand, then students should file a facility-related grievance according to outlined procedures. c. Procedures The Dean of Students Office (DOS) serves as a primary point of contact in fulfilling iCLA’s commitment to resolving grievances. Below is a summary of the iCLA grievance procedure. 1. Informal Hearing When students have a grievance to report, a member of the DOS will conduct an initial hearing of the case. Students can make an appointment via informal conversation or e-mail with the DOS staff of choice. If a grievance directly concerns a specific member of the DOS, students should speak to a different member of the DOS. If a grievance involves the entire DOS as a unit, students should bring the matter to one of the iCLA academic directors. 2. Formal If students are not satisfied with the resolutions provided by the informal hearing with the DOS staff member, they can proceed to have a formal meeting with the entire DOS Office, in which the conversation will be captured in a memorandum that will be shared with the relevant party or parties. In the case of grievances against the DOS, if students are not satisfied with the resolutions provided by the iCLA academic director, then they may address the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, or, need may be, the iCLA Dean. 3. Appeal If students are not satisfied with the resolutions provided by the formal hearing with the DOS Office, another meeting will take place wherein the Dean of Students as well as other staff and relevant parties will revisit the grievance. d. Confidentiality In the interest of individual privacy, iCLA makes every effort to maintain confidentiality. However, if it is necessary to disclose certain information to external organizations such as the police department, iCLA may proceed to do so after consultation with those who have reported grievances. If students have questions about the procedures outlined above, they should contact DOS. 127 e. Grievance Procedures Incident Does the incident involve the entire DOS Office?

Introduction As a means to promote and communicate iCLA’s learning environment, achievements, and initiatives, iCLA makes a concerted effort to utilize various forms of media. In the interest of individual privacy as well as portrait rights, however, iCLA ensures to inform all students when their image, voice, and other forms that disclose their personally identifiable information are used. At the same time, iCLA acknowledges that all students possess a right to reject such use of individual information. The iCLA Release Form (see sample form at the end of this section) is used as a way to document mutual agreement between iCLA and its students on the use of content that contains personal information. b. The Scope of the iCLA Release Form This section outlines the scope of the iCLA Release Form, in addition to possible situations in which additional consent is required. 1. When YGU and/or iCLA both own an information dissemination platform and its content, the iCLA Release Form alone serves as a form of consent, allowing the iCLA Administrative Office to use the materials produced internally. For instance, the iCLA Administrative Office can take photos of students who have signed the iCLA Release Form and upload them on the iCLA's Facebook page without further approval. 2. When YGU and/or iCLA own an information dissemination platform, but not its content, the iCLA Release Form does not serve as proof of consent. In this case, an extra form needs to be signed by the student as well as the third party that owns the content. Examples include, but are not limited to, the iCLA website, iCLA brochure, and Bluestar Magazine (i.e. iCLA does not own the copyright of the materials used in these platforms). 3. When YGU and/or iCLA owns neither the platform nor its content, the iCLA Release Form does not serve as proof of consent. In this case, an extra form needs to be signed by the student as well as the third party(ies) which own the platform and the content. For instance, when an external TV, newspaper, or magazine company creates content that includes a photo of iCLA students, iCLA ensures that the students have an opportunity to provide appropriate, informed consent. c. Grievance Procedures If students find that their personal information is used without permission, misused, and/or abused, they should immediately report to the Dean of Students Office (See Grievance Procedures section in page 128 for more information). 129 d. Points to Remember • Students have a right to refuse to sign any consent form they feel uncomfortable with. • Students can choose to give "case-by-case" permission through an either verbal or written form. • Minors (i.e. students under the age of 20) should consult with parents and/or guardians who might object to the type of consent outlined above. • When students contribute their photos or other materials to the iCLA Administrative Office, they should make sure to gain permission of others who are included in the materials. • If students wish to nullify a consent form that they previously signed, they should consult the iCLA Administrative Office. • Students should ask questions when in doubt and report grievances as necessary. 130 iCLA Release Form (Sample) RELEASE FORM By signing this release form, I authorize the International College of Liberal Arts (iCLA) of Yamanashi Gakuin University, to use the following personal information: (A) My picture– including photographic, motion picture, and electronic (video) images.
