Protocols for Visiting Campus

1. All students, employees, and visitors are asked to respectfully socially distance and avoid gathering in large numbers. 
2. As of March 13, 2023, in accordance with the Japanese government and professional health office guidelines, masks will be optional in all on-campus settings at LUJ, without exceptions. This also includes LUJ-sponsored outdoor activities and/or events. All members of the LUJ community and visitors are welcome to continue wearing masks if they choose to (whether for personal or medical reasons), and it is important that we all respect the individual decisions being made by those around us. 
3. If your temperature is above 37.5 degrees Celsius (99.5 degrees Fahrenheit), you are not feeling well, or you have persistent cold symptoms, please DO NOT come to the campus. Students should immediately notify their instructors if they do not plan to attend a class, and should refer to the course syllabi to confirm each instructor's policy regarding sick days and/or make-up classes. 
4. Anyone visiting the campus is asked to sanitize their hands at any of the stations located off the elevators. Sanitizing stations are also found throughout the campus and we encourage everyone to use them frequently. 

Any changes to the campus hours or protocols will be announced to students via email and reflected on this page. 

大学での注意事項

1. 全学生・教職員・訪問者は、ソーシャルディスタンスを保つようにし、大人数で集まることは避けてください。

2. 政府のマスク着用方針の見直しにより、2023年3月13日以降、マスク着用は個人の判断に委ねることになりました。それに伴い、レイクランド大学ジャパン・キャンパスでも政府の方針に従い、キャンパス内、または学校に関する校外活動でのマスク着用は個人の判断に委ねることとします。本人の意思に反してマスクの着脱を強いることがないよう、個人判断が尊重されるよう、十分な配慮をお願いします。

3. 体温が37.5度以上の場合、体調が良くない場合、風邪の症状が続く場合は、大学へ来ないでください。

4. 学生及び教員は、各授業が終了した後、使用した机・椅子を消毒するようご協力をお願いします。消毒液等を入れた箱を各教室に設置しています。

大学の開校時間や方針等に変更が生じた場合は、全学生にメールで周知します。また本ページでもお知らせします。

If you test positive for the flu, please contact your instructors immediately and let them know you will not be attending classes until your symptoms are gone. 

If you test positive for COVID-19, please follow these steps: 

Step 1: Contact the Student Affairs office (studentaffairs@japan.lakeland.edu). It is important to let us know if you were recently on campus or in direct contact with other LUJ students, faculty, or staff members.

Step 2: Contact your instructors to inform them you are unable to attend class. You should not return to the campus until you have tested negative after your quarantine period. Please contact all of your teachers and note that each class has its own attendance policy, which is explained in the course syllabus. Please follow the policies listed for each class and communicate with your instructor(s) if you have any questions. 

ステップ１：学生課（studentaffairs@japan.lakeland.edu）にご連絡ください。最近大学へ行ったか、他の学生や教職員と直接接触があったかの確認が必要となります。

ステップ 2： 保健当局から確認があるまではリモートで授業を受けることを、担当教員に知らせてください。

Step 1: LUJ will notify all students and instructors who were registered for the same classes via email. You will receive a standard email saying: “We have just received confirmation that someone who attended your class has tested positive for COVID-19. This student reported being on campus on LIST DAY for LIST CLASS." You should begin monitoring your symptoms, but in-person attendance is required unless you have also also test positive for COVID-19. 

If you are not fluent in Japanese, AMDA Medical Information Center will be able to provide telephone consultation for medical matters in multiple languages.

Step 2: You may also check the COVID-19 Dashboard above to see LUJ’s recently reported positive (and recovered) cases.

ステップ1：新型コロナウイルス感染が確認された人が陽性反応が出た日から5日以内にキャンパスにいた場合、同じ授業を受講した学生および担当教員にメールでお知らせします。メールの内容例：「あなたと同じ授業にいた人が新型コロナウイルスに感染していたことが確認されました。この学生は〇月〇日に〇〇の授業を受講しました。もしもあなたがこの授業に対面で出席していた場合は、保健所に連絡して濃厚接触者に該当するかどうかご確認下さい。

テップ2：LUJ内で確認された陽性者（および療養終了者）の人数について、COVID-19 Dashboardで確認が可能です。

We want all students, faculty, and staff to be healthy. If you are beginning to show signs of COVID-19 or the flu, you should get tested as soon as possible. If you choose to stay home for health reasons, you need to contact your instructors immediately to let them know of your absence and the reason. Please refer to your course syllabus to confirm each instructor's policy on sick days and/or make-up classes. 

新型コロナウイルスの兆候がある場合は、自宅にとどまりリモートで授業を受けるようにしてください。その間に健康状態を観察して地元の保健所から助言を受けるようお願いします。健康状態が戻るまで、または症状がない日が3日間続くまでは、自宅待機を続けてください。
