Q. Is there any financial support for dormitory residents?
A. Rikkyo University subsidizes a portion of dormitory fees to assist special foreign students. Dormitory fees are charged each semester, while all other expenses, except for the dormitory fee, are typically charged monthly. Payment in installments is not available.
Q. When / How should I pay the dorm fee for the first semester?
A. The dormitory fee payment will be made in a lump sum for one semester prior to your arrival in Japan. Details will be provided when you receive your dormitory and room assignment.
Q. Can I send my luggage to the dorm before arriving in Japan?
A. You cannot send your luggage to the dormitory before arriving in Japan. However, you can send your luggage once you are in Japan, provided you are ready to receive it yourself.
Q. Why is my contract period shorter than my study period?
This is because dormitory contracts are, in principle, for one semester. If you wish to extend your stay for a second semester, you must submit a 'Contract Renewal Notification' to the International Center by the designated date.
Contract Renewal Notification:
Spring semester (April) enrollment: early May (tentative)
Fall semester (September) enrollment: early November (tentative)
Students enrolled for one academic year are required to pay the August dormitory fee if continuing from the spring semester to the fall semester, and the March dormitory fee if continuing from the fall semester to the spring semester of the following year.
Q：Can I smoke in the dormitory?
A. Rikkyo University has been promoting a non-smoking policy on campus to protect the health of non-smokers and prevent passive smoking, in accordance with the Health Promotion Law. As part of this policy, smoking is prohibited in the dormitories and on balconies. If your room is stained with cigarette smoke, you may be charged a repair fee when you leave the dormitory.
