Meiji University has decided to partially change the academic calendar for 2020, when the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics will be held, so that it does not overlap with the period of the Olympics, and to move up the entire class schedule.
Applying the schedule of the annual Meiji University academic calendar in 2020, which is the Olympic year, July 7, when the Tokyo Olympics open, is the start date of the spring semester regular examination, and the regular examination period and the Olympic holding period overlap. It ends up.Therefore, at Meiji University, as a special case for the spring semester of 24, we decided to move up the entire class schedule so that it does not overlap with the period of the Tokyo Olympics.
The reasons for this are that transportation in the metropolitan area will be disrupted during the Olympic Games, and there will be anxiety about the implementation of classes and regular exams. It is mentioned that there is a possibility that it will end up.
The main changes in the 2020 academic year calendar (spring semester) are that holiday classes will be held on all holidays during Golden Week, the period of spring semester "learning guidance" will be shortened by a certain number of days, and the spring semester class start date will be 2020. It should be April 4, 8.Set all weekdays and Saturdays during the Tokyo Olympics as temporary holidays (cancelled).
In addition to advancing the class schedule, students who participate in the official volunteer activities of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics may be forced to absent from classes or exams due to volunteer activities (including prior training activities). , The university plans to give some educational consideration, such as taking alternative measures.
