Deciding whether to stay

KCP staff have briefed the U.S. students in the program today. Staff explained to them the seriousness of the current situation. KCP staff continues to assist the students in leaving voluntarily. Some key points:

KCP Tokyo is continuing to hold class.

If they desire, students can finish the Winter program knowing the potential risk, making their decision based on current information and talks with family members and schools.

Any student (receiving academic credit from one of our U.S. affiliates) who would like to return to the U.S. early will receive at least 10 credits language/2 culture (semester). Full credit may be available. KCP will work closely with each partner school about this matter, which may involve take-home homework, quizzes, open book tests, and so on.

Students can leave the country temporarily and come back to finish during the Spring term. They will not be penalized for missed attendance.

Any student who has registered for the Spring term has an option to defer to a later term. Please contact Mr. Tanaka for more information.
