GPA (Grade Point Average) System and Handling of Grade Assessment (“W”and “F” grades)
Nagoya University employs GPA based on the “six-step” grade scale: A+, A, B, C, C- and F. A gradeof “F” (fail) results in 0 points and lowers the GPA. However, a grade of “W” (withdrawal) does
not affect the GPA. Therefore, the difference between “F” and “W” grades is significant.
For details, please refer to:
Nagoya University Academics / Campus Life (nagoya-u.ac.jp)- Grade Evaluation and the GPA System
Liberal Arts and Sciences Courses Guide - Examinations and Grading – Grade Evaluation

period is from April 18 (Thu) until the end of May in this semester. However, deadlines may vary
for different courses, so please refer to the course syllabus or ask the instructor directly.
