1. You need to follow the procedure to continue using your intramural account 

At the beginning of each academic year, TSUBAME4 users' TSUBAME accounts will be “temporarily suspended” and they will not be able to log in to TSUBAME until their enrollment confirmation is completed through the account continuity procedure.
If you belong to Science & Engineering Field, please login to the TSUBAME Portal via Portal for Science & Engineering Field and follow the instructions on the screen to apply for renewal account request.

For detailed procedure, please refer to the Renewal account request section of the TSUBAME Portal User's Guide.

(update 2026-04-05) If you belong to Medical & Dental Field, please submit your renewal application via the form below:
