From September 4, the university will move to Phase 3 of its resumption of extracurricular activities.

Under strict conditions and guidelines, individual students or small groups of up to five people, can now practice their sport or activity at indoor - as well as outdoor - facilities. Groups must ensure that all members avoid physical contact and keep a minimum distance of 2 meters from each other. The indoor facilities must be properly ventilated at all times.

In Phase 3, more indoor facilities will be open, such as the training room in the Kawauchi Gymnasium. Individual students can apply to work out on their own, and strict social distancing rules apply. At any given time, no more than 10 people will be allowed in the room.
