Rescheduling all activities for circle orientation
SFC CLIP interviewed the committee which organizes the whole circle orientations for the new students. In the interview, the committee has mentioned that at this point, circle orientations will still be held, although rescheduling will be needed.
In addition, instead of completely switching the activities to a fully-online format, they are still planning to distribute the traditional "Circle Guide" booklet to new students.
Postponement measures in the past
After the Great Tohoku Earthquake in March 2011, the start of the spring semester was delayed by one month for the 2011 academic year.
