This page summarizes requests, precautions, service coverage, and other information when receiving services from the Office of Information Technology Support for Education, such as equipment loan and classroom support.
Please see below for an overview of our services.
Request for early detection of equipment failure, etc.
- If you find any equipment malfunction or any trouble during class, please contact Room 202 (Tel 042-330-5417) on the spot or after class. Our staff will make rounds, but it may take some time to find the problem. We look forward to hearing from you.
Request to reduce congestion during break time (10-minute break)
- During breaks between classes (10-minute breaks), the support room is crowded with people checking out and returning equipment.
- To prevent teachers who have consecutive classes from being late for class due to equipment delivery, it would be greatly appreciated if teachers who can spare the time could come in before or after their break time.
- Please try to avoid the break time to make an appointment for Classroom Support in person or by phone, so we can facilitate your visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use loaner equipment and support for events at my conference?

In principle, the services provided by this support office are intended to support "classes" at the College.
The Support Office cannot make a decision about whether or not to support events at conferences that are not under the control of the College. Please contact the Academic Affairs Section first.
Please note that advice and lectures on equipment use for conference events are available. Please see below. - Are loaner equipment and support available on weekends, holidays, and after 6:00 p.m. on weekdays?

As a rule, the support office provides services only during the opening hours of the office, and cannot provide support on weekends, holidays, nights, or early mornings.
For classes and events on weekends and holidays, please request support from the Support Office after setting up a separate rehearsal or other arrangements. Our staff will be present at the rehearsal to show you how to operate the system.
Rental equipment can be rented for multiple days, as long as you consult with us in advance and there are no other reservations. If you wish to use the equipment on weekends or holidays, please pick it up on a weekday in advance. It may be possible to leave the equipment at the security guard room and pick it up on the day of use, but this is a special arrangement, so please consult with us in advance.
However, depending on the quantity of loaned equipment, we may not be able to meet your request. - Can I use equipment loans or support for extracurricular activities or club activities for which I serve as an advisor?
