・Each department
has an authority toadmit undergraduate
credits obtained inother universities
based on the courses.
・For graduates, theDisciplinary Degree
Committee is fully
empowered for credit
recognition andtransfer.

・The similar courses in
KAIST curriculum willbe transferred to‘major’ category which
had not been taken

the course is not in ourown curriculum, it isaccepted as ‘elective.’
・Each department has
an authority for
approval for credit
transfer.

・Each department
has an authority toadmit credits obtainedin other universities,
and the credits thatare not in Tokyo Inst.
of Tech. curriculum
may be admitted as an
exception.

21

8. Credit system/Credit transfer system
8‐6. Formula of credit recognition
Question: Does your university have any formula of credit recognition between foreign
universities, including universities in Europe and the U.S.?

・For undergraduates,

and there are no concrete
formula for credit transfer,but the courses must meetthe course standards ofTsinghua U. for the credits
to be transferred.
・For graduates, theDisciplinary Degree
Committee is fully entitledto decide how credits
earned abroad are
calculated and transferred.

・Depending on hours oflecture, laboratory, practice,
the credits can be transferred
to KAIST credits as pass or
non‐pass base depending on
the approval from theprofessors, department heador advisors.
Lectures:over 16 hours‐ 1 credit, over
32 hours‐ 2 credits, over 48
hours‐ 3 credits, over 64

Unsatisfactory

・Tokyo Inst. of Tech does
not adopt letter grade
system, but has actual
number scoring system.
Full score is 100, and 60 is
the minimum requirement
to obtain a pass. As tocredits obtained at foreignuniv. (and in some othercases), only pass/fail scoresare given. In case letter
grade is needed, the actual
