Students typically make their own flight arrangements to and from Japan, unless otherwise noted for their program. JCMU will provide program-specific arrival and departure information to accepted students so you can plan your travel with confidence.
Before booking your travel:
- Review your program's arrival information. JCMU will provide the appropriate arrival dates, times, airports and any recommended flight or group transportation options through the JCMU application portal and pre-departure communications.
- Plan within your program schedule. Make sure your travel arrangements allow you to arrive when required for orientation and other program activities.
- Consider your passport and visa timeline. Do not make travel plans that conflict with visa processing, the expected return of your passport, or the period of stay connected to your JCMU-sponsored visa. See Passports & Visas for more information and contact us or set up JCMU advising if you have specific questions or concerns.
- Submit your travel itinerary to JCMU. Accepted students will be asked to submit theirflight and travel information through the JCMU Application Portal.
- Check directly with your airline. Baggage allowances, fees and other travel requirements vary by airline and can change frequently.
