This rule is to help assure the Japanese Immigration Bureau as well as TIU that the student has sufficient financial resources to study abroad at our university. TIU will inform the students to whom this rule applies on the results announcement day.

That means if you take a test within your high school, or at your language school that is not an official test center, you are at risk of it being an Institutional Test.

Notes:
・TOEIC Institutional Program (IP) Test and TOEIC Daily Test results are not accepted.
(IP tests are held within schools or organizations. These tests are not accepted by universities.)
・English test certificates will not be returned to applicants under any circumstances.
・English Test Exemption: Applicants from Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore, The United Kingdom, or the United States who have undertaken their official secondary or higher education in the English language for at least 6 years are not required to submit an English test score. However, those who received education in the English language, even at an international school, outside of the aforementioned countries must still provide a proof of English proficiency.
・ For English tests taken at home, there have been cases of the results being issued later than expected, for example due to a poor internet connection or other reasons. Please take the test earlier than later if possible, allowing yourself time to troubleshoot with the test provider should there be a delay in your results.
In principal, applications will not be considered if the English test score is not submitted by the deadline for any reason, in which case the applicant must apply again during the next application period.
