Student Counseling Services

The college years are a time of freedom and possibility, but they are also a time when you face many problems and must make critical choices. Sophia University offers counseling to help you find solutions to the many problems, large and small, that you may encounter during your student life. If you know the contact point you want to consult with, please go directly to them. If you are not sure where to go for help, please use the “Anything Goes Consultation Service”.

Academics and Study Abroad

Each faculty or department assigns a class leader (a faculty member) to each grade, 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.

Support for Students with Disabilities

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.

Employment and Career Opportunities

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.

Harassment

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.
