Status and the 2029 deadline
Listed, not yet certified by MEXT
The Immigration Services Agency lists this school, but MEXT hasn't certified it.
A listed school must be certified by 31 March 2029 to keep taking students on a student visa. After that date, a listed school that isn't certified can't take new student-visa students.
The official guidance doesn't address students already enrolled at a school that misses the deadline.
Ask the school where its certification application stands.
