- When graduating from the university or handing over a job to another researcher, back up the necessary data by yourself.
 - For users whose Employee/Student ID number will change in the new academic year, a new account will be created.
Input the reason why your Employee/Student ID number will change (e.g., because your academic position will change from student to researcher) in the Remarks field.

If you have trouble with input information (e.g., A person responsible for payment cannot be selected when applying for registration online), you may apply with a paper form. Fill in the Application for Use of Computer System and submit it to the IMC reception desk (office).
