Long-Term Completion System
Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, The University of Tokyo

The Long-Term Completion System is a system for students who have difficultycompleting their graduate courses within the standard allotted period due toemployment responsibilities or other reasons. The System aims to aid students increating their study plan over the standard period and ensure they finish their courses.
Students in master’s courses may extend their periods of study for one or two years
and students in doctoral courses may extend for up to three years. These extensions
will enable students to receive degrees in accordance with their plans.
When newly enrolled students (including students proceeding from master’scourses to doctoral courses) apply for this system, the total tuition fee for the standard
period will be divided into the number of the years permitted by the school. For
example, if a master’s course student is permitted to extend for one year, the total
tuition fee of two years will be divided into three years, and the resulting amount willbe the annual tuition fee. (Please refer to “Long-Term Completion System PaymentPatterns. “ )Guidelines for the Long-Term Completion System at the Graduate School ofInformation Science and Technology are as follows:1.

Qualifications:
One of the following must apply to the applicant:(1) Applicant is a new entrant to the Graduate School of Information Science andTechnology (including individuals proceeding from master’s courses to doctoralcourses) and also falls under one of the following categories:① Individuals with a full time job in a public office or business organization(receiving compensation; not including individuals who have been releasedfrom duty), those who work full-time in self-owned businesses or similar, andthose who work part-time.

Reference○Rules Regarding Examination Fees, Admission Fees, and Tuition Fees at theUniversity of Tokyo (abstract)
Article 2 (abbreviated)(Rules on Examination Fees, Admission Fees, and Tuition Fees)
2 In accordance with Article 2 Paragraph 7 of the Graduate School Rules and Regulations,annual tuition fees for individuals who are permitted to plan and complete courses in an
extended period of time (hereafter referred to as “Long-Term Completion SystemStudents”) by the University of Tokyo through the Long-Term Completion System will becalculated as follows*:[Annual tuition fee] X [Standard number of years] ÷ [Number of years in Long-TermCompletion System](*The calculated amount is to be rounded up to the nearest JPY 10.)

Article 3(abbreviated)(Special Provisions for Tuition Fees and Payment Methods for Long-Term Completion
System Students)
1.

If a Long-Term Completion System student remains enrolled even after the extended
enrollment period ends, the annual tuition fee for the period exceeding the term
established in the Long-Term Completion plan will be designated as shown in Table 1.

2.

If a Long-Term Completion System Student completes the established curriculum during
the academic year, tuition fees will be calculated as follows*:[Annual tuition fee under Article 2 Paragraph 2] ÷ [12] X [Number of months

enrolled](*The calculated amount is to be rounded up to the nearest JPY 10.)The student should pay this fee in the first month of the academic year.
However, if the student is expected to complete the curriculum in the second half of theacademic year, the University may collect the fees relevant to this period in the second
half of the academic year.

3.

If the University permits a Long-Term Completion System student to shorten his or her
extended-enrollment period, the student must adjust for the difference by paying in thefollowing way:
[Re-calculated annual tuition fee for the shortened enrollment period under Article 2paragraph 2*] X [Number of years the student has already been enrolled] – [Total tuition
fees payable for the actual enrollment period before re-calculation**]The document is a translation from the official Japanese version.
*Any fraction of less than one year is rounded up. The same applies below.
**If this falls in the middle of an academic year, the applicable period will be until
the end of the given academic year. The same applies below.
The student should pay this fee upon receiving permission for a shortened period.
However, if the shortened period becomes equal to the standard enrollment period, thedifference to be paid is as follows:[Annual tuition fee under Article 2 Paragraph 1] X [Number of years the student has
already been enrolled] – [Total tuition fees payable for the actual period of enrollment
before re-calculation]

4.

If the University permits a Long-Term Completion System student to further extend
the period, the annual tuition fee is re-calculated for the period of extension as describedin Article 2 Paragraph 2. However, no balance adjustment will be made to tuition fees
for course periods which have already concluded.

5.

If the University admits a student to the Long-Term Completion System during an
academic year, the new annual tuition fee for the extended period will be calculated asindicated in Article 2 Paragraph 2. However, no balance adjustment will be made totuition fees for course periods which have already concluded.

6.

If the University revises tuition fees, the new annual tuition fee for a Long-Term
Completion System Student will be calculated based on the revised fee described inArticle 2 Paragraph 2. However, no balance adjustment will be made to tuition fees forcourse periods which have already concluded.
