During the preparation process, applicants may use various resources, such as literature, advice from high school teachers, and online resources including generative AI tools like ChatGPT. For the essay question, applicants must precisely follow the instructions for citing references. If application documents and essays are found to be highly unlikely to have been written by the applicants themselves, suspected of plagiarism or other misconduct, or containing false or factually incorrect statements, there will be serious consequences for their scores, and the applicant may be disqualified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Student Application Guidelines and Application Documents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-flexible-table-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Student Application Guidelines<\/strong><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.eikei.ac.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/Student-Application-Guidelines-Autumn-2026-Enrollment-ThirdWindow.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Student-Application-Guidelines-Autumn-2026-Enrollment-ThirdWindow.pdf<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Application Form and Examination Card<\/strong><\/td><td>These documents can be downloaded after the registration to Eikei\u2019s Online Application System.
