What should I verify one final time before submitting an application?

Before submitting, check the current official guidelines for the relevant academic year and faculty or program: eligibility, the exact deadline and time, required documents, application entries, fee payment, and photo or file-format requirements. Also confirm that submission was completed and save the confirmation screen, email, or reference number if one is provided.

Key points

  • Check the deadline including the exact time, not only the date.
  • Recheck personal details and make sure documents are complete and legible.
  • Record the completion message, email, or reference number after submission.

Things to check

  • Required documents, procedures, and the form of submission confirmation vary by university, faculty, admission route, and academic year, so always check the latest official information.

Admissions route guidance

Applying through a Japanese domestic admissions route

For domestic admissions, use the latest guidelines for the admissions route you will actually use, such as general selection, school recommendation-based selection, or comprehensive selection, to make a final check of the application eligibility requirements, required documents, examination subjects and selection methods, schedule, conditions of use, and conditions for applying concurrently to other programs. Because selection methods and other details may change, also check for updates on the university’s official website when applying.

Applying from overseas

When applying from overseas, also check the latest guidelines for the admissions route you will actually use. If you are using the special selection for international students, do not apply the conditions for a different domestic admissions route. Instead, use the relevant guidelines to make a final check of the eligibility conditions and procedures, including foreign nationality, the expectation of obtaining “Student” residence status, and Japanese-language proficiency.
