Research/educational activities and events will be conducted via online as much as possible, but face-to-face research supervision may be provided when necessary. In such cases, you should avoid contact over a long time and record the name of face-to-face contact person and the time of meeting in case you suspect infection. Research work will be allowed if the work does not involve activities that may lead to the spread of infection, under the supervision of the laboratory supervisor. We should operate the laboratory while avoiding the "3C" of laboratory research member.

Job-hunting activities will be allowed if you take sufficient infection prevention measures and obtain the approval of the laboratory supervisor. However, please refrain from traveling to areas where the infection is spreading. If you are requested to move across the border of a prefecture, please first consult with your laboratory supervisor or faculty member in charge of job hunting. Recruiter and internship supervisor at company are kindly requested to conduct interviews and practical training online.

Tohoku University is concerned for students that are living alone during this unstable situation. Every undergraduate freshman has an advising professor in each major department in order to consult various matters such as university life, future plan, study. Please communicate with the advising professor and share your concerns and thoughts proactively. For those who transferred to our graduate school, we strongly recommend to share information with the supervising professor and lab mates regularly via internet or email.

Furthermore, the Student Peer Support System is starting from June so that the new students are able to communicating with older students in the same major department. The detailed information will be provided by the advising professor.

The School of Engineering has several counseling services for students who have worries, concerns and anxieties.
