■ Campus Life

Q：	Can I hold a part-time job after class hours?

A：	You must fulfill the following requirements in order to obtain permission to hold a part-time job? At least 3 months must have passed since enrolling at BIL, and you must have good attendance percentage, grades, and classroom performance and attitude. In addition, the homeroom teacher and the department of school affairs must determine that having a part-time job will not have a negative impact on your school work. The part-time job must consist of less than 28 hours per week. ( If one works more than that, BIL can force him or her to leave BIL and Japan. ) The part-time job must not be one that is not permitted by BIL. ( If it is discovered that one is holding such a job, he or she can be forced to leave BIL and Japan. )

Q：	I have heard that the requirements for graduation are quite strict. Is this true?

A：	Yes. A student cannot graduate unless the attendance percentage is over ninety percent. This is a strict requirement, but every year approximately eighty percent of students graduate. The attendance percentage affects the visa renewal process when a student enrolls in a higher level of education after graduation from BIL, so please make every effort to maintain an attendance percentage of over ninety percent.
