Fees vary depending on housing and room type. Please refer to the websites below:
■  On-campus Housing
■  Off-campus Housing

You will receive a monthly bill and make cash payments at any convenience store. Please expect that the first bill will include a number of initial startup costs that you need to pay upfront including the current and next month’s rent, cleaning and rental bedding fees. You will be informed of more details during the Housing orientation session after you arrive.

Yes, both on and off campus residents are all, without exception, required to rent a set of bedding that each housing specifies. A bedding set comprises a pillow, pillowcase, duvet, duvet cover, blanket and Japanese-style mattress. Sheets can be exchanged regularly.

Housing assignments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis. The earlier you submit the housing application form, the more likely you are to receive your desired housing. We also carefully arrange accommodations to ensure a balanced composition of residents from partner universities.

Please note that we are not able to guarantee your request for a particular type of housing as we assign dormitory or room in order to consolidate vacancies.

The offer will be cancelled and given to the next student on the list. You will need to find alternate housing on your own.

Review our Academic Calendar website for your housing move-in and move-out dates.

We are not able to accommodate students who would like to move in prior to the official check-in dates. In addition, students must move out on the date established by SGU. If you intend to arrive before the move-in dates (or leave after the move-out date), you will need to make your own arrangements for accommodation with a local hotel.

■ Move-in time:
   On-campus: 9 am - 7 pm (and 7 pm - 9 pm on a case-by-case basis)*
*All on-campus dormitory residents are required to move in between 9 am - 7 pm due to business hours. If you are arriving in your dormitory between 7 pm - 9 pm due to the limited flight schedule, any delays, etc., please let us know as soon as possible*. Please understand that arrivals after 10 pm must make hotel accommodations for the evening.
*If we do not hear from you, you will be considered a no-show, and your housing assignment would become subject to cancellation.
  Off-campus: 9 am -  7 pm
Due to being outside of business hours, arrivals after 7 pm must make hotel accommodations for the evening without any exceptions.

Contact us immediately at inbound@seinan-gu.ac.jp to communicate your arrival plans. Please expect that arrivals after 10 pm (for on-campus)/ 7 pm (for off-campus) must make hotel accommodations for the evening.

Around a month before your move-out date, you will receive email with the detailed information on what to do for moving out.

Prior to move-in dates, on/off-campus housings do not accept any packages. Please schedule deliveries to arrive after you move into your housing so you can personally accept the packages.
