On April 2020, 4, Meiji Gakuin University announced that it would provide a lump-sum payment for environmental improvement, an extension of the deadline for payment of school payments, and a scholarship so that students would not suffer financial difficulties due to the new coronavirus infection.

 Meiji Gakuin University has been holding classes for the spring 2020 semester since April 4th.For online classes, students are encouraged to use laptops and tablet PCs instead of tablet devices, and are instructed to improve the Internet connection environment and install antivirus software and Microsoft Office.As an emergency support to prepare the attendance environment, a flat rate of 20 yen will be paid to all current students.

 At the same time, the deadline for payment for the 2020 spring semester will be extended from the end of April to the end of May.In addition, we are considering special scholarship relief measures for students who have lost employment or whose income has dropped sharply due to the effects of the new coronavirus so that they will not interfere with their continued study.

 The uniform payment of 5 yen will be contributed from the scholarship reserve amount.The specific payment method will be announced later.In addition, we will consider extending the deadline for payment of school payments again depending on the situation.Details of the scholarship will be finalized and publicized.

 Meiji Gakuin University is not considering refunds or reductions at this time, saying that "tuition fees" and "facility / equipment costs" are "not based on the idea of ​​considering them as consideration for individual educational services or equipment usage fees".Even under the restrictions of not being able to do face-to-face lessons, the company says that it will maintain the quality of education through online lessons and make every effort to maintain and manage campuses, facilities, and equipment.
