Other Fees

In addition to tuition fees, other fees must be paid, including (1) actual costs for practicums, (2) teaching materials, (3) Support Group fees, (4) accident insurance for students pursuing education and research, (5) premiums for Will, the Japan Nursing School Benefit Association Insurance, and (6) costs for infectious disease testing and vaccinations.

(1) Actual Costs for Practicums

Students must pay costs for lab coats and shoes used for practicums, as well as costs for tests taken prior to practicums, and the actual cost of transport and accommodation necessary for participating in practicums on each occasion.
However, due to potential cost disparities between practicum locations, in terms of transport and accommodation choices, the Support Group fees help to correct these disparities to a degree (as explained in (3)).

(2) Teaching Materials

The costs of textbooks are to be paid by students.

(3) Support Group Fees (Not Applicable for Graduate School Students)

At IPNU there is a Support Group organization set up for the purpose of better student welfare (members are guardians or guarantors of IPNU students).
The Support Group supports the Student Association, University Festival, and club activities, and provides assistance for transport costs necessary for practicums outside of the university.

(5) Premiums for Nursing School General Insurance (Will) (Optional for Graduate School Students)

Nursing School General Insurance (Will) is insurance through the Japan Nursing School Benefit Association.
