Follow the Rules and Maintain a Disciplined Student Life

Campus Principles

Maintaining Campus Appearance

Do not vandalize walls on campus or post notices without permission. In addition, do not leave plastic bottles, empty lunch boxes, magazines, or similar items scattered in classrooms. Trash must be disposed of in trash bins or taken home.

Maintaining a Quiet Environment

To maintain a suitable environment for classes and research on campus, refrain from making loud noises, such as shouting or using megaphones or speakers at high volume.

Do Not Obstruct Pedestrian Traffic

Many people move through the campus. Actions that obstruct others’ passage, such as marching in groups, sitting on the ground, or playing catch, are prohibited.

Consideration for the Daily Lives of Local Residents

To help the University maintain good relations with the local community, take care not to disturb local residents. In particular, do not practice musical instruments or make loud noises after 21:00.

Smoking While Walking and Littering Cigarette Butts Is Prohibited

At Tokyo Metropolitan University, as a measure to prevent secondhand smoke, smoking is prohibited within the campus buildings (classrooms and club rooms), including smoking while walking, and in outdoor areas other than in designated smoking areas. Those who smoke must use designated smoking areas and must never smoke while walking or discard cigarette butts elsewhere.

Prohibition on Remaining on Campus at Night

Students may remain on campus only during the following hours.
    ●　Monday through Saturday, excluding public holidays, 7:00 to 22:00,
    ●　Sundays and public holidays, 7:00 a.m. to 17:00.

To remain on campus outside the hours above, the “Application for Permission to Use Facilities Outside Permitted Hours” must be submitted (the “Application for Permission to Use Facilities Outside Permitted Hours” is available at each faculty office).

Purchasing a Commuter Pass

If there are questions regarding the issuance of a commuter pass, first- and second-year undergraduates should contact the Academic Affairs Division, and third-year and above undergraduates (including second-year students in the Faculty of Health Sciences) should contact the faculty office.

To Obtain Permission for Entry and Parking

Bring a student ID card, submit the prescribed application form at the Student Affairs Division, and obtain issuance of the “Entry and Parking Permit (Two-Wheeled Vehicle).” Applications are accepted at any time.

After Permission Is Granted

lWhen entering campus, attach an “Entry Permit Sticker” to the motorcycle and carry the “Permit” at all times. In addition, measures such as tire locks may be taken for motorcycles that do not have an “Entry Permit Sticker” attached or that are parked outside designated parking areas.

Bicycle Use

At the Minami-Osawa Campus, when using a bicycle on campus, a Bicycle Permit Sticker must be affixed to the bicycle.

To Obtain a Bicycle Permit Sticker

Complete the prescribed procedures at the office of the faculty or academic program of affiliation (for first- and second-year students in the Faculty of Systems Design and first-year students in the Faculty of Health Sciences, the Student Affairs Division) and obtain issuance of a Bicycle Permit Sticker.

After Receiving a Bicycle Permit Sticker

Clearly write the student ID number on the Bicycle Use Sticker and affix it to a clearly visible part of the bicycle (rear fender, frame, etc.). Bicycles without the permit sticker may be removed.

When parking a bicycle, use only the official bicycle parking areas designated by the University.

In addition, to prevent theft, a double lock using a chain lock is recommended.
