1. Make a Plan for Registration
Make sure you understand the curriculum, degree requirements, total credits, and course syllabi.
In order to accomplish your academic goals, you need to plan carefully when you register forcourses.
When deciding which courses to register for, be sure to consult the ILA curriculum carefully,
paying special attention to the school year, the semester, and the number of credits.
It is also important to refer carefully to the timetable provided by the ILA Office. In general an
ILA course has one 90-minute class per week. However, some courses do not follow this regularschedule. For example, the class schedule may become irregular if the course lecturer plansfield trips to off campus sites. When a course does include field trips, students are expected tocover transportation costs and other expenses. Make sure that you are not registered for twoor more courses in the same timetable slot.

■ “Subjects to which Article 9-5 of the Undergraduate Regulations
applies”
Since academic year 2023, a new terminology “Subjects to which Article 9-5 of theUndergraduate Regulations applies” has been displayed on DUET screens, as well as in
documents such as the Course Registration Check Sheet, the Grade Report, and in syllabi. This
regulation stipulates the upper limit of remote-class credits that are counted toward the credits
required for graduation. This is stipulated by the University Establishment Standards, aministerial ordinance of MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology).
“Article 9-5” will be displayed as either “Applicable” or “Not Applicable” indicating whether or
not the course should be counted as a remote class or not.
Doshisha University applied preferential measures for Covid-19 in AY2023. However, From
AY2024, the preferential measures for Covid-19 will be abolished. This means that when youplan your course registration, you have to ensure that you take no more than 60 credits in totalof remote classes (indicated as Article 9-5 “Applicable”). Any remote-classes taken over the60 credit-limit will NOT be counted toward your graduation credits (124 credits). Whether
Article 9-5 is “Applicable” or “Not Applicable” can be checked in syllabi. For details, pleasecheck the university official website.
