a. If students have enrolled and obtained credits of Common Courses and courses offered by other departments, othergraduate schools, or faculties under the permission of the supervising professor, within the limit of the above (1) Required
Credits to Complete the Program, the credits may be counted as elective course credits to complete the program. (Article 6
and Article 7, The University of Tokyo Rules for the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology)
b. If students obtain more than the required credits to complete the Master's program, the excess credits can be added to
the Doctoral program credits for up to 10 credits in total through the permission of the supervising professor (Article 7,
Paragraph 2, The University of Tokyo Rules for the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology).
In addition, students, who completed the Master's program in either the Graduate School of Engineering or the Graduate
School of Science before the Graduate School of IST was established, and who enrolled in or proceeded to the Graduate
School of IST, can add the excess credits earned in the Master's program to the credits in the Doctoral program only in thefollowing cases:
1) After completing the Master's program in the Graduate School of Engineering, proceed to the Doctoral program in the
Department of Mathematical Informatics, Department of Information Physics and Computing, Department of Information
and Communication Engineering, or Department of Mechano-Informatics.
2) After completing the Master's program in the Graduate School of Science, proceed to the Doctoral program in the
Department of Computer Science.
* The main purpose of the rules is to provide interim measures for the students who proceed to the Graduate School of
Science and Technology from former departments that used to belong to the School of Engineering or School of Science.
Therefore, students from other Graduate Schools are not covered by this regulation. For that reason, students from the
Graduate School of Science that proceed to a department in 1), and students from the Graduate School of Engineering thatproceeds to the Department of Computer Science cannot transfer credits from the previous graduate school.
* The credits which can be transferred are limited to the subjects offered under the Graduate School of IST.
* Students can transfer only the credits of the elective courses of IST obtained during the enrollment period of the Master’s
program of IST. (Credits of core courses and credits obtained at other Graduate Schools cannot be transferred.)* Students can transfer only the necessary number of credits to make up the 20 credits for completion, up to a maximum of
10 credits.
* Credits from one course cannot be divided for credit approval.
* For this procedure, students must get permission from the supervising professor by the beginning of the final academic
year of the Doctoral program, and must submit the “Request for Credit Transition” to the Office of the Graduate School of
IST during specified period listed below:

Procedures” of each enrollment academic year.
c. Credits obtained by auditing a course (lecture only) of the graduate school of a Japanese university that has a student
exchange agreement with the Graduate School of IST and certified by the Graduate School of such university will be given
equivalent credit in the Graduate School of IST for up to 15 credits in total through the Master's program and the Doctoral
program (Article 10, the UT Rules on Graduate Schools).

17

d. When students study abroad at a graduate school of a foreign university and obtain credits from courses in the student's
major field of study, the credits will be authorized as equivalent credits of the Graduate School of IST for up to 15 credits intotal through the Master's and Doctoral programs, only after the students submit an application (Article 28, the UT Rules
on Graduate Schools).
In addition, the number of credits may not exceed 15 credits, together with the number of credits deemed to have beenacquired at the Graduate School of the University of Tokyo above article c. .
* Due to the course load, there is no guarantee that the number of the credits authorized by the graduate schools of aforeign university will be converted to the same number of credits in the Graduate School of IST (Memorandum of
Graduate School Council Meeting).
* Regarding “Study abroad”, please refer to the following “ (1) Study Abroad at III. Student Status”* When students study abroad and obtain credits at the graduate school of a foreign university during a leave of absence,the credits cannot be certified as credits of the Graduate School of IST.

4. Master's / Doctoral Thesis Screening and Defense
Each department has its own rules regarding the submission of the Master's thesis, the deadline for submission, and thedate of the thesis defense – check the announcement from the department for the latest information.
The deadline of the Doctoral thesis is in the beginning of June for students who plan to complete in September, and the
beginning of December for students who plan to complete in March. Each department requires different documents, andthe date of the thesis defense is also different, so students who plan to complete the Doctoral program must pay attention
to the announcement from the department.
In addition, students on a leave of absence cannot submit a thesis for the Master's program or Doctoral program. A leave ofabsence while the thesis is examined is not acceptable.
(Reference) Students who were in the Graduate School of IST for at least three years, who obtained at least the required
number of credits, and who left school after receiving the necessary research guidance from the supervising professor(referred to “withdrawal through expiration in the Doctoral program”) can submit the Doctoral thesis to the Graduate
School of IST, if it is within three years after leaving the school. In this case, this person is considered as completing the
program.
If students who have been more than three years after withdrawing from the Doctoral program with satisfaction of credit
and enrollment requirements, students who have withdrawn from school without satisfaction of credit and enrollment
requirements, or students have not completed the Doctoral program wish to apply for the Doctoral degree, they must
submit a doctoral dissertation (five set including the original and copies) along with the required documents such as
Application for Conferral of Doctorate, etc. and the thesis screening fee to the President (Students Affairs Group,
