TIUA (ASP) REGULATIONS
(This is a translation of the Japanese version.)
Because there are many differences in cultural climate, customs, and public security between
the United States and other countries, participants need to be cautious. When the
participants are away from the university on trips, they have to be even more cautious.
1. Before Departure
(1) The students must not be absent from the orientation unless excused.
(2) Health Care
-1- The students should maintain their own health and should try not to
catch a cold or have a stomach ache before they leave Japan. Of
course, the students should maintain their health during the program.
-2- If the students have particular medications that they regularly take,
they should bring these medications with them. The insurance doesn't
cover pre-existing conditions. If the students have chronic diseases
or allergies, they should report it to the International Exchange Center
before departure.
-3- If the students have decayed teeth, they should be treated before
departure. Dental treatment abroad is not covered by insurance.
-4- If the student needs to adjust their eyesight by glasses or contact
lenses, they should be treated before departure. Optical treatment is
not covered by insurance.
2. Overall Life
(1) The participants must not go against the federal law of the USA or state of
Oregon. Being involved with drugs or drinking under the age of 21 is prohibited.
Also, the participants have to be concerned about the differences in
cultural climate and customs in order to stay away from crimes or sexual
problems.
(2) The participants have to treat the facilities and equipment in the university
nicely. If facilities or equipment are damaged or lost, the person who is
responsible must report the damage or loss to the office. Depending on the
circumstances, the participants may have to pay for the damages.
(3) The participants must follow the policies of the residence halls. The participants
are responsible for the safety of their valuables.
(4) The participants must not smoke anywhere other than the designated smoking
areas.
(5) The participants must not own or drive a motor vehicle or a motorcycle.
