Medical benefit system (Asia Gakuen Student Health Insurance Mutual Aid Association)

Based on the spirit of mutual aid, "students helping each other," the Asia Gakuen Student Health Insurance Mutual Aid Association was established in April 1976 (Showa 51).
Since its establishment, in order to reduce the financial burden caused by illness or injury to students, the system has been used to subsidize medical and prescription fees covered by insurance when students receive treatment at medical institutions in Japan, based on their application.
Benefits are paid within the benefit limits.

Members of the association include students who are fully enrolled at the university (undergraduate and Graduate School) and International Student (Intensive Japanese Course, exchange students, and Sponsored Student).
A student ID card will be used in place of a membership card, and the student ID number will be used as the membership number.
*Union fees are to be paid every year along with spring semester tuition fees.
Registration fee: 500 yen (at the time of enrollment), membership fee: 3,500 yen (annual)
