Welcome to the Co-op Membership Application Site

[International Students(OPS)]　Welcome to UOsaka!

To those considering joining the Co-op

Osaka University Co-op supports your studies and life in Japan!
Our campuses feature stores, cafeterias, and bookstores offering a wide variety of products and services.

Our Membership

The University Co-op is an organization where each member contributes money (capital stock), becomes a member, and jointly operates and uses the facilities.
Most students and many faculty and staff members join the Co-op.
To become a member, you must pay capital stock (10 shares for 3,000 yen for international students). This capital stock will be returned to you upon graduation or when you leave Osaka University, in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation. We encourage you to join the Co-op!
