Dropout - University

Japanese: 退学 - たいがく
Dropout - University

It refers to a student or pupil losing their status as a pupil or pupil at a school before completing all of the school's courses and graduating. The authority to authorise or order expulsion lies with the principal at high schools, and with the president at universities after a discussion with the faculty council (Articles 26, 94 and 144 of the Enforcement Regulations of the School Education Act). Expulsion can be for personal reasons, as a disciplinary measure or for non-payment of tuition fees.

There are the following cases of dropping out of public compulsory education schools: (1) When a student who has been attending school outside the school district drops out to attend a school in the district where the student resides, (2) when a school-age student becomes visually impaired or otherwise drops out to attend a special needs school, (3) when a student is granted a deferral or exemption from compulsory education, such as being admitted to a children's independence support facility or juvenile prison, or (4) when a student drops out to attend a school in a foreign country.
