Student Commuter Certificates
Students who have registered for courses and have official confirmation of a need to commute to a campus more than 2 days a week are eligible to receive a student commuter certificate. This certificate allows a student to purchase a “student commuter pass” which is cheaper than an ordinary commuter pass at a train station office when submitted along with the Student ID. The route has to be between the nearest home station and the station for the campus. The certificate can be obtained during the designated period after the course registration period. We will inform you of the date and location during the USTEP Academic Orientation.
*In some cases, it is better not to purchase a commuter pass depending on your course selection. Please calculate the costs and choose the best option.
**If you commute to both Hongo and Komaba Campuses more than twice per week, you must apply for a second student commuter certificate at the International Education Promotion Group if required. Please be aware that the second certificate will take about a week to be issued.
