In the following pages you will find general outlines for each program. Please note that some points vary for each graduate/undergraduate school. You should contact to your faculty office for the further details. Different studying abroad regulations are applied to the students enrolled before the 1998 academic year and after the 1999 academic year. The followings are for those after the 1999 academic year. Please contact to your office if you enrolled before that. Registration Status at Waseda While Abroad When you study abroad, the state of your enrollment at Waseda University varies depends on the programs or the courses you take. Please make sure how you are registered while you are away because your tuition fees vary accordingly. You will be registered as "studying abroad" from "currently registered at Waseda University" once you meet the following requirements: Your period of study abroad is as regulated mentioned in the next guide line, you have already been admitted by the host institution and you have completed the studying abroad procedures at your school office. For an exchange program, you are not permitted to study abroad with the state of "registered at university" or "a leave of absence". However, in case of TSA and ISA, you are registered as ""registered at university". Therefore, "studying abroad" means privately funded students or exchange students and ""registered at university" means TSA, ISA, and Double Degree programs. Some private funded students who mainly learn a foreign language from half a year to one year may be registered as "leave of absence" not as "studying abroad" in some schools. Some students may be registered as "leave of absence" because they don't meet the requirements to be approved as studying abroad. Those students have to pay tuition fees according to "leave of absence" regulations. Tuition fees for the host institution and the amount of half semester of Waseda University's tuition fees should be paid. Please note that credits you earned while registered as "leave of absence" are not recognized. Here is the data you can refer to on how you will be registered.
