Student Centers
Regardless of which school or graduate school students belong to, they can receive assistance at any of the Student Centers --- Toyonaka, Suita, or Minoh --- on matters involving procedures for financial aid, tuition and enrollment fee exemption, and extracurricular activities, as well as career consultations and information regarding employment.
Announcements for students are posted on the official website of Osaka University, Student Center, and the KOAN bulletin board. Students should make a habit of regularly viewing such bulletin boards and be sure to perform any necessary procedures during the designated periods.
If you've got any questions or concerns regarding your studies or student life, feel free to consult with a faculty member at one of these Student Centers.
Note: Student Centers will be closed on Tuesday, February 25, due to the university's February Entrance Examination. For more information, click here.
