After the participation, based on the documents submitted by the student, the Educational and Student Affairs Committee will confirm the details of the training or internship and deliberate on the accreditation of credits.
Therefore, it is not possible to confirm in advance if credits can be approved or not.
・Regarding Independent Overseas Fieldwork A・B / Independent Domestic Fieldwork A・B for MC students or International Internship A・B for DC students, can I apply for credits by participating in an internship or training program offered online?
Yes, this is subject to review by the Educational and Student Affairs Committee for credit approval.
・Can I apply for both Independent Overseas Fieldwork B and Independent Domestic Fieldwork B for the one internship?
