3. Check your final status on the Tokyo Tech Portal.

How to login to the Tokyo Tech Portal (Tokyo Tech Portal News for Students)

Notes:

- Make sure to complete the registration process by clicking "Course Registration" > "Verify" > go on to registration > register. Unfinished registrations saved as drafts (“temporary save”) will be deleted later.
- (As for the courses using ZOOM) Course registration MUST be completed on the Web system at least two days before the course starts so that the relevant course instructor can notify registrants of Zoom links for remote lectures in advance. By saving a draft registration (clicking "temporary save") in the Web system, you will be temporarily included in the registrant list for each course. However, if you do not complete registration by the deadline, you will be excluded from the registrant list.
- We recommend that you complete the registration process by Thursday, April 20, as the Web System will be congested just before the deadline.
- After completing the registration process, you may change course(s) during the registration period. To do so, click the "Unlock for Course Registration" button on the right side of "Status" at the top of the registration page of "Kyomu-web". It must be done by 11:59pm on Thursday April 20.
- For information about credits, see Explanation of Tokyo Tech Credits.
