交換留学最新情報/ Latest information for the Application Guidelines for Student Exchange Program (Outbound)

・派遣交換留学学内選考出願～留学開始前の学期までの休学について / Temporary leaves of absence from the time of internal application to the semester preceding the study abroad period
学内出願時から留学開始前の学期までの休学を認めますが、休学期間は学期単位での認定となります。慶應義塾大学での学期は、春学期が4月1日～9月21日、秋学期が9月22日～3月31日となりますが、協定校のなかには、秋学期が9月21日以前に開始となる大学も多くあります。この場合、留学開始日が本学の春学期と重複していることから、春学期の休学は認められません。同様に、春出発の場合で、留学先の学期が3月31日以前に開始となる場合は、留学開始日が本学の秋学期と重複していることから、秋学期の休学は認められません。派遣交換留学参加前の休学を検討されている場合、この点について十分ご注意ください。

Temporary leaves of absence will be permitted from the time of internal application to the semester preceding the study abroad period, however, the length of Temporary leave of absence is the entire Fall or Spring Semester. Although Spring Semester is from April 1st to September 21st, and Fall Semester is from September 22nd to March 31st at Keio University, Fall Semester starts on or before September 21st at many of our partner universities. In such a case, temporary leaves of absence for Spring Semester will not be permitted as your study abroad period overlaps with Spring Semester at Keio. Similarly, If your study abroad period starts on or before March 31st, temporary leaves of absence for Fall Semester will not be permitted as your study abroad period overlaps with Fall Semester at Keio.Please bare this in mind when you apply for temporary leaves of absence before the beginning of your exchange studies.

・派遣交換留学における宿舎手配とビザ申請について / Arranging accommodations and visa in Student Exchange Program (Outbound)
派遣交換留学においては、渡航先での宿舎やビザの手配を学生ご自身の責任で進めていただきます。2022~2023年度派遣交換留学では、現地での宿舎手配やビザの手配に難航する学生が多くおり、2024年度派遣もこの状況が続く可能性があります。2024年度派遣交換留学への参加を希望する学生は、渡航先での宿舎やビザ申請の状況をよく調べ、十分理解された上でご応募ください。

Students are solely responsible for arranging their own accommodation and visa when they participate in our Student Exchange Program. Since some students who join Student Exchange Program from 2022 to 2023 have serious problems in arranging accommodations or visa, there are high possibilities that the situation continues in 2024. If you wish to participate in 2024 Student Exchange Program, please check carefully and fully understand the situation of arranging accommodations and Visa in your desired destinations before you complete the application.
