Note 2: Enrollment Status: This refers to the status of the occupants of each room (apartment or dorm room). Yamasa does not require all occupants to be students, it is possible for your friend, spouse, partner or dependent(s) to live in Yamasa accommodation. To be eligible for student housing, the sole occupant, or at least one member of two or more people sharing a room, needs to be enrolled in either a full-time group course, or if enrolled in Private, CALL, Refresher or any other on-demand program, be enrolled in a minimum of 15 classes per week, or be participating in experiential programs such as Japan Discovery or Internship.

Note 3: Per 7 day period of stay per person: This refers to the amount paid by each occupant for each period of 7 days from the day of entry into the room or apartment. The accommodation is available from up to 3 days prior to the designated program start date, and up to 12 o'clock noon 2 days after the completion ceremony of the course of enrolment, or final day of study tour or placement in the case of Japan Discovery or Internship. If the total length of stay cannot be easily divided into 7 day periods, the day rate (see Note 4 below) may be used.
Example: If a student arrives and checks into accommodation on a Tuesday, enters a 4 week SILAC program on a Thursday, studies for 4 weeks until completing the program (also on a Thursday), and then checks out of the accommodation on Saturday morning, then the total period of stay is 33 days. The student has the option of paying either for 5 weeks (35 days), or 4 weeks (28 days) plus 5 days (see Note 4 below), choosing whichever provides the cheaper accommodation. Return to top

Note 4: Day rate of extension per person: For occupants whose total period of stay does not equate to 7 day weeks, it is possible to stay without paying for an additional full 7 day week, by using the per day rate. See the example in Note 3 (above). Return to top

Note 5: Single Occupancy: A single room/apartment, for one enrolled student only. This does not mean that guests are not by definition unable to stay on a short term (4 nights or less) basis if registered in advance with the Housing Officer, and the required guest fees have been paid. Please note that in some accommodation options, guests will be unable to stay - please check with Admissions. Please note that for students in these courses, pets are unable to be kept. Return to top

Note 6: 2 Students, arranged by Yamasa: For students who wish to reduce their accommodation fees, but are enrolling by themselves. In this case the Housing Office will allocate a room mate. As a general rule the room mate will be enrolled in the same or a similar course. The room mate will be of the same gender. With shared by 2 accommodation, individual concerns such as age, nationality, spoken language(s), vegetarian etc are as a general rule unable to be taken into consideration. Please note that guests will be unable to stay. Please note that pets are unable to be kept. Return to top

Note 7: 2 Students, enter/leave together: This reduced rate exists for friends, partners, mixed or same sex couples etc who decide to enroll together, starting and finishing on the same day. In such cases the 2 students do not need to be in the same program (ie one could be in SILAC and another in Acceleration etc), but both need to be full-time enrolled students - ie both need to be enrolled in a minimum of 15 classes per week each. The same conditions apply in the case or 3 or 4 students. Please note that in some accommodation options, guests will be unable to stay - please check with Admissions. Please note that for students in these courses, pets are unable to be kept. Return to top

Note 8: 1 Student, 1 non-student, enter/leave together: This rate exists for friends, partners, mixed or same sex couples etc, where only one person will be studying in a program, but both will arrive together, entering and checking out of the accommodation on the same day. The non-studying member(s) need(s) to either be Japanese, or have a suitable visa, and be responsible without assistance from Yamasa for that visa. Families with children are more than welcome. As a general rule young children may stay free of charge. Please contact Admissions for more information, or for a quotation if interested in staying in 4LDK townhouses such as Residence I or Residence M.
