The Gakuyukai - Science & Engineering Student Association is an organization of science and engineering students, mainly undergraduate students of the former Tokyo Institute of Technology. Students carry out activities to support student life, including campus life and club activities outside of their regular courses. The Medical and Dental field, former Tokyo Medical and Dental University, also has the Gakuyukai, Medical and Dental Student Association.

東京科学大学の学生は学士課程に入学すると学友会員になります。特に申し込み手続きは必要ありません。

Yes, all Science Tokyo students become Gakuyukai members when they enroll in the undergraduate program. There is no need to apply for membership.

学友会の活動に参加するかどうかは学生自身に委ねられます。なお、サークル活動や学園祭に参加する予定のない学生でも日々のキャンパスライフの中で学友会の企画や活動に気が付かないうちに参加しているかもしれません。

It's up to the student to decide whether or not to participate in the Gakuyukai's activities. Even students who don't plan to participate in club activities or campus festivals may find themselves participating in Gakuyukai projects and activities during their daily campus life without realizing it.

学友会は大きく「公認サークル連合」「学園祭運営部」「学生生活部」「学友会執行部」「代議員会」の 5つから成り立っています。公認サークルに加入し、サークルの代表からなる公認サークル連合の「代表会議」に参加する、または工大祭実行委員会に加入し「学園祭運営部」に所属する、または学生のキャンパスライフを支援する企画を実施する「学生生活部」に参加することで運営に携わることができます。また、これらの機関から選出されることで、「学友会執行部」や「代議員会」として学友会全体の運営に携わることができます。

The Gakuyukai consists of five main sections: “Certified Circle Union,” “Campus Festival Management Department," "Student Life Department," and "Gakuyukai Executive Committee," "Delegates Assembly."
You can join a certified circle and attend the "Circle Representative Meeting" of the Certified Circle Union, which consists of circle representatives, or join the Tokyo Tech Festival Executive Committee and belong to the "Campus Festival Management Department," or join the "Student Life Department," which implements projects to support student campus life, to participate in the management of the association.
In addition, by being elected from these organizations, you can participate in the overall management of Gakuyukai as a member of the "Gakuyukai Executive Committee" or "Delegates Assembly."

学友会費は学友会の活動のための原資となります。学友会費は学士課程入学時に在学年限分（学士課程入学なら４年間、編入学であれば２または３年間分）納付をお願いしています。内訳は以下のとおりです。

The Gakuyukai fee is the source of funding for the activities of the Gakuyukai. Gakuyukai fees are due at the time of admission to the undergraduate program for the duration of the student's enrollment (4 years for undergraduate students, 2 or 3 years for transfer students). The breakdown is as follows

会費の納入は任意ではありますが、学友会の活動は、ひとりひとりの学友会会員の会費の納入により支えられているため、趣旨をご理解の上、納付いただけますようお願い申し上げます。なお、入学時に入学料の徴収猶予または減免を申請する方については、学友会会費を納入する必要はありません。

It though payment of the fee is voluntary, the activities of the Gakuyukai are supported by the payment of the fee by each Gakuyukai member, so we ask that you understand the purpose of the fee and pay it. Please note that those who apply for deferment or waiver of the entrance fee at the time of admission are not required to pay the Gakuyukai fee.

学友会費を支払わなかった学生個人が直接不利益を被ることはありませんが、学友会の運営費用が減ることは学生全体の不利益に繋がります。

No. Individual students who do not pay the Gakuyukai fee will not be directly disadvantaged, but a reduction in the operating costs of the Gakuyukai will be to the disadvantage of the student body as a whole.
