(2) Complete Online Registration and Submit Enrollment Documents

The details for the second enrollment procedures will be announced in July 2021 to all successful applicants who have completed payment of admission fee, tuition and other fees.

NOTE:  Those who submitted a certificate of expected graduation at the time of application will be required to submit an official graduation certificate (original). Please obtain proof of graduation from your school. This can be an official letter from your school certifying your date of graduation or a final transcript with the graduation date printed on it. Further details regarding enrollment will be announced in July 2021 along with instructions for the online registration system and user ID information.  If you submitted predicted scores with your application, you will be required to submit the final scores when submitting the documents for the enrollment procedure.  As a rule, we do not return submitted documents or refund school expenses and fees (the entrance fee and school expenses for the fall semester). However, if you do not enter Waseda university due to unavoidable circumstances, or fail to meet the entrance qualification prior to enrollment, we may refund only the school expenses for the fall semester (but not the entrance fee). For more information about the procedure for receiving such a refund, refer to the handbook on enrollment procedures mailed to successful applicants.  If you have been accepted by one of the undergraduate schools at Waseda University and completed the payment of entrance fee, school expenses and other fees to that school and are later accepted by another one which you prefer to enter, you can enter the preferred undergraduate school and request to have the amount you have already paid transferred to that school. However, this procedure can be done only when the enrollment procedure periods of the two schools do not overlap in the same academic year AND the date of enrollment of both schools is exactly same. For more information about the procedure, please refer to the handbook on enrollment procedures that is sent to successful applicants.

XIII. Scholarships

Scholarships can be grouped roughly into two types: “prior to enrollment” and “after enrollment.” They also differ in terms of criteria for eligibility (including nationality and resident status), application periods, and application process.

 Prior to Enrollment Scholarships Prior to enrollment scholarships are awarded to a certain number of applicants who show great academic ability. Eligible recipients will be notified at the time of enrollment procedures (by late Aug, 2021). No applications are required because the selection is automatic.

 After- Enrollment Scholarships Students wishing to apply for after-enrollment scholarships will need to fill in the appropriate scholarship registration form and submit it by the designated date.

Detailed information on scholarship programs will be sent to successful applicants. An overview of different scholarship programs can also be found on the following websites:

58 NOTE: Departmental Affiliation and Degree:

When students enroll in the English-based Undergraduate Program in Science and Engineering, Waseda University, each student is automatically affiliated with the School responsible for administering the students’ chosen major program. At the end of their third year, each student’s departmental affiliation is determined by the School taking into account the student’s academic performance and preference. The table below shows the departments which students may be affiliated with according to their chosen major (e.g. students who choose to major in Mathematical Sciences will be affiliated with either the Department of Mathematics or the Department of Applied Mathematics at the beginning of their fourth year).

As shown in the table below, the type of degree (i.e. a Bachelor of Science degree or a Bachelor of Engineering degree) a student will be conferred upon graduation will depend on the student’s departmental affiliation.

Departmental Affiliation and Type of Degree Major Degree Department School Mathematical Sciences  Bachelor of Science  Mathematics Fundamental  Bachelor of Engineering  Applied Mathematics Science and Computer Science and  Bachelor of Engineering  Computer Science and Engineering Communications Engineering Engineering  Communications and Computer Engineering Mechanical Engineering  Bachelor of Engineering  Modern Mechanical Creative Engineering Science and Civil and Environmental  Bachelor of Engineering  Civil and Engineering Engineering Environmental Engineering  Resources and Environmental Engineering Physics  Bachelor of Science  Physics Advanced  Bachelor of Engineering  Applied Physics Science and Chemistry  Bachelor of Science  Chemistry and Engineering Biochemistry  Bachelor of Engineering  Applied Chemistry Bioscience  Bachelor of Science  Life Science and  Bachelor of Engineering Medical Bioscience*  Bachelor of Engineering  Electrical Engineering and Bioscience

* In the Department of Life Science and Medical Bioscience, the type of bachelor’s degree (i.e. a Bachelor of Science degree or a Bachelor of Engineering degree) a student will be conferred upon graduation depends on the type of research (i.e. science or engineering) that is conducted by the faculty research group to which the student belongs.
