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.

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*Classes cannot be registered for nor withdrawn from after the designated registration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.
NOTES
1) To take Specialized subjects from International Master’s Degree Program (except
Advanced topics subjects), subjects from your own department held in Japanese, or otherdepartment’s subjects from International Doctoral Degree Program, Students must obtainapproval from their supervisor and the subject instructor with the form "Application for
Registration in Subjects in Other Department".
2) If the student does not attend the classes nor take the examinations, credits will not begiven even if the registration is made.
3) A student cannot re-register for a subject for which credits are given.
4) Only one subject can be registered for in a given time schedule. Note that this does not
apply to subjects being repeated for 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 reason can take the same subject again in the next academic
year. To repeat a subject, the student must register again.

2. Examination
Examination includes 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.

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.
