Each faculty or department assigns a class advisor (a faculty member) to each year, class, and/or seminar unit. Class leaders provide advice on academic matters, career paths, and student life. Each department also has an academic advisor who is available to assist students with general academic matters, such as course planning and grades, overseas study, credit conversion, and other matters related to overseas study.

You can consult with us when you want to discuss your physical or mental health or when you need referrals to hospitals in your student life. In addition to nurses, internal medicine doctors, psychiatrists and a gynecologist are available for consultation. Counseling services are also available to help you find tips on how to lead a more fulfilling college life and provide tips on how to think about and work out your own solutions independently.

Sophia University will provide “reasonable/suitable accommodation” to students with disabilities, based on discussions between the student and the university, so that they can proceed with their studies and research with peace of mind. We strive for all students to deepen their understanding of disabilities and act from the viewpoint of others with appropriate understanding and realize a symbiotic society together.

We hope that students will have a rich student life at Sophia University through various experiences such as study abroad, club activities, and volunteer work, in addition to their academic studies. At the Student Center, questions and consultations regarding scholarships, extracurricular activities, dormitories, volunteer activities, etc. are available, and the Student Center staff can provide support for each student’s individual circumstances.

At the Career Center, students can ask a variety of questions and seek consultation regarding employment and career paths. We offer programs not only for students in their first year of job hunting, but also for students who are thinking of their future career from their first year. Through individual counseling and these programs, we aim to help students gain new information and perspectives and clarify how they want to build their own path.

In order to guarantee a fair and safe student living environment, we are committed to preventing all forms of harassment. Among the various types of harassment that exist in society, the four main types of harassment that have the potential to occur on campus are sexual harassment, academic harassment, power harassment, and harassment related to pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare/nursing care leave. In addition to the on-campus counseling service, we have also set up an off-campus counseling service to provide a safe environment for students to consult with us in the event that they have harassment concerns.
