＊Important Notice Regarding the “s + Student ID Number @u.tsukuba.ac.jp” Email Address＊

For all academic purposes such as submitting reports and sending or receiving emails related to classes, students must use the following email address: s + student ID number@u.tsukuba.ac.jp

No application is required to use these email addresses.

*Please note that all lifetime email addresses (@u.tsukuba.ac.jp) are created automatically based on the name registered at the time of admission in principle as follows: familyname.firstname.tkb_xx@u.tsukuba.ac.jp*
(“xx” represent two alphabetical letters that differ for each individual.)

Instructions on how to send and receive emails using the name-based email address will be sent in a single notification email to your “s + student ID number @u.tsukuba.ac.jp” address in the month following enrollment.
