Having a medical checkup certificate issued

Health management when traveling overseas

Gakushuin University anticipates that students will travel overseas during their studies for a number of objectives including tourism, language learning, study-abroad, internships, residential camps for club activities, overseas seminars and volunteer activities. As students traveling in unfamiliar foreign countries are at real risk of becoming unexpectedly involved in problems such as crime, they are urged to check the Overseas Safety Homepage of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and other sources before they travel, to check what the local situation is in the country in question and what safety precautions should be undertaken, and to adopt a mindset of "taking responsibility for your own safety."

If you are thinking about traveling to a country or region which MOFA has reported to be unsafe, please reconsider your travel plans.

When planning to hold residential camps overseas for club activities, please be sure to submit an application to the Student Service Section.
