Tuition (FY2018)

■Tuition Payment Method and Deadlines

Tuition is generally paid via automatic bank transfer. Your tuition for the first semester is withdrawn on May 26, and on October 26 for the second semester. If the 26th falls on a weekend or holiday, tuition will be withdrawn on the first following weekday. Please note that if you fail to pay your tuition after the deadline, even after receiving reminders for payment, may result in your expulsion from the university (Tokyo Metropolitan University Rules and Regulations, Article 33, etc.).

■Tuition Exemption/Reduction and Installment Payment Program

With the aim of supporting the academic pursuits of international students, we offer a tuition exemption and reduction program for students with outstanding academic records. In principle, undergraduate students receive a 50% reduction (with full exemptions awarded to those with exceptionally high academic performance), while graduate students receive a 50% reduction.

Additionally, for those who find it difficult to pay each term's tuition in a single lump sum, an installment payment plan is available.

1.Eligibility

Undergraduate and graduate students (regular degree-seeking students)
Non-regular students (such as research students) are not eligible.
Applicants must hold a "Student" visa status (including those who are currently applying).

2.Application Process

If you wish to apply for a tuition exemption/reduction or the installment payment plan, you must submit an application.

Details regarding the application procedure will be posted as needed on the Student Affairs Section website. Please check the website regularly for updates.
