Consulting (how to seek advice)

Consulting Offices

Appointments for harassment-related consultations on campus can be made with the Consulting Office or the Harassment Consultant.

The Consulting Office will provide information on all procedures and advice as to which Consultant to consult with, as well as listen to your problem. Consultations can be requested and inquiries regarding procedures may be made via the online forms available on the official University website. However, as a general rule, consultations should be conducted in a place where privacy is protected.

If you wish to see a medical expert instead of the Consulting Office and Consultants, please make an appointment at the Health and Wellbeing Center(Health Services) in advance (tel:03-3238-3396).
