“Application for Registration for Repeating Subjects (by Examination)".
*Only the subjects failed with “D” grade are eligible for this.

2. Examination
Examinations include regular examinations and make-up examinations.

(1) Regular examination
In principle regular examinations shall be held during the set period at the end of eachterm.

3) If a student fails to take the make-up examination, further examinations will not beallowed.

(3) Recognition of Credits and Grading System
Course instructors recognize credits for courses based on the results of examinations, etc.
① Student performance is graded based on the following standards. S, A, B and C are
passing grades while D is a failing grade. Credits are awarded to grade C and above.
S･･･90 to 100 points
A･･･80 to 89 points
B･･･70 to 79 points
C･･･60 to 69 points
D･･･59 points or less
② With the aim of making course grades internationally compatible, TUT has launched a
Grade Point Average (GPA) system, providing a barometer to judge the overall
performance of students, starting with students who entered TUT in academic year 2018.
The objectives of the GPA system are to fairly grade performance and to enhance
students’ desire for study by calculating the point average as a barometer to indicate thestate and results of students’ academic performance.

GPA is an average calculated by converting above letter grades to grade points (GP)ranging from 0.0 to 4.0, multiplying these grade points by the number of credits for eachcourse, and then dividing the total grade points by the total amount of registered credits.
Note, however, that grades from the following courses cannot be used to calculate GPA.
Such courses are marked with a hyphen in the GP column of the grade report.
(1)Courses for which credits were earned on the basis of the credit exchange system
conducted with other universities, graduate schools, etc.; courses that were registeredat other universities or junior colleges while enrolled in TUT; and courses that wereregistered at universities, junior colleges or graduate schools in foreign countries(2)Courses for which credits were earned before entering TUT and were recognized
after entering TUT; courses that were registered at TUT, other universities or juniorcolleges before entering TUT; and courses registered at universities, junior colleges or
graduate schools in foreign countries (including courses registered for as a credited
auditor student)(3)Courses for which credits were earned through mid-course entry, interschool transfer,readmission, or studying abroad, and were subsequently recognized(4)Courses for which credits cannot be counted toward graduation requirements; andcourses for which credits were earned through the system for advance registration tograduate school programs(5)Courses that are designated separately by each department (On-the-job Training(internships), Supervised Research, Seminars, experimental courses, and practicaltraining courses)③ Each student can check grades and GPA for recognized credits in the ”KYOMU JOHOSYSTEM”.

(4) System for appealing grades

Students must register for classes using ”KYOMU JOHO SYSTEM” at the TUT website
https://kyomu.office.tut.ac.jp/portal/
or by the form "Application for Subjects" during the designated period.
*Classes cannot be registered for nor withdrawn from after the designated registration
period. Classes with no registration will not be accredited in any case.

NOTES1) If the student does not attend the classes nor take the examinations, credits will not
be given even if the registration is made.
2) A student cannot re-register for a subject once credits are given.
3) Only one subject can be registered for in a given time schedule. Note that this does
not apply to subjects being repeated for examinations only, or intensive subjects.

(3) Confirming and amending the registration
To confirm or amend class registration, students should access ”KYOMU JOHO SYSTEM”,
and follow the manuals instructions.

(4) Repeating classes
In principal, a student who has failed a subject with regular examinations or has notgained credits for some other reasons can take the same subject again in the next
academic year. To repeat a subject, the student must register again.

(5) Repeating classes by examination
When a subject instructor approves a student’s credits by allowing examination without
re-attending the classes, the student can register for the subject using the form
“Application for Registration for Repeating Subjects (by Examination)".
*Only the subjects failed with “D” grade are eligible for this.

2. Examination
Examinations include regular examinations and make-up examinations.

(1) Regular examination
In principle regular examinations shall be held during the set period at the end of eachterm.
All students are to check the examination schedule in the academic calendar at ”KYOMUJOHO SYSTEM” or on the bulletin boards. Note that examinations may be held at any
time found necessary by the subject instructor.

(2) Make-up examination
1) Make-up examinations shall be held only when a student cannot take the regularexamination for one of the following reasons. The student must gain the approval of thesubject instructor using the form "Request for a make-up examination".
a) Illness (doctor's medical certificate must be submitted)b) Accidents, disaster (certificate must be submitted), or other special reason (a letter
explaining the reason must be submitted)
2) "Request for a make-up examination" must be submitted to the Educational Affairs
Division within one week from the final date of the regular examination.
3) If a student fails to take the make-up examination, further examinations will not beallowed.

(3) Recognition of Credits and Grading System
Course instructors recognize credits for courses based on the results of examinations, etc.
① Student performance is graded based on the following standards. S, A, B and C are
passing grades while D is a failing grade. Credits are awarded to grade C and above.
S･･･90 to 100 points
A･･･80 to 89 points
B･･･70 to 79 points
C･･･60 to 69 points
D･･･59 points or less
② With the aim of making course grades internationally compatible, TUT has launched a
Grade Point Average (GPA) system, providing a barometer to judge the overall
performance of students, starting with students who entered TUT in academic year 2018.
The objectives of the GPA system are to fairly grade performance and to enhance students’desire for study by calculating the point average as a barometer to indicate the state andresults of students’ academic performance.

GPA is an average calculated by converting above letter grades to grade points (GP)ranging from 0.0 to 4.0, multiplying these grade points by the number of credits for eachcourse, and then dividing the total grade points by the total amount of registered credits.
Note, however, that grades from the following courses cannot be used to calculate GPA.
Such courses are marked with a hyphen in the GP column of the grade report.
(1)Courses for which credits were earned on the basis of the credit exchange system
conducted with other universities, graduate schools, etc.; courses that were registeredat other universities or junior colleges while enrolled in TUT; and courses that wereregistered at universities, junior colleges or graduate schools in foreign countries(2)Courses for which credits were earned before entering TUT and were recognized
after entering TUT; courses that were registered at TUT, other universities or juniorcolleges before entering TUT; and courses registered at universities, junior colleges or
graduate schools in foreign countries (including courses registered for as a credited
auditor student)(3)Courses for which credits were earned through mid-course entry, interschool transfer,readmission, or studying abroad, and were subsequently recognized(4)Courses for which credits cannot be counted toward graduation requirements; andcourses for which credits were earned through the system for advance registration tograduate school programs(5)Courses that are designated separately by each department (On-the-job Training(internships), Supervised Research, Seminars, experimental courses, and practicaltraining courses)③ Each student can check grades and GPA for recognized credits in the ”KYOMU JOHOSYSTEM”.

(4) System for appealing grades
Students who have concerns about their grades for a particular semester should inquirefrom the class instructor. If students have complaints regarding the instructor’s response,
they can submit an appeal. Students, however, cannot appeal the reason or basis for thegrade.
