① Student performance is graded based on the following standards. S, A, B and C are passing
grades while D is a failing grade. Credits are awarded to grade C and above.
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- 31 -

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.

GPA is an average calculated by converting above letter grades to grade points (GP) ranging
from 0.0 to 4.0, multiplying these grade points by the number of credits for each course, andthen dividing the total grade points by the total amount of registered credits.
Note, however, that grades from the following courses cannot be used to calculate GPA.
Such courses are marked with a hyphen in the GP column of the grade report.
(1) Courses for which credits were earned on the basis of the credit exchange system
conducted with other universities, graduate schools, etc.; courses that were registered atother universities or junior colleges while enrolled in TUT; and courses that were registeredat universities, junior colleges or graduate schools in foreign countries(2) Courses for which credits were earned before entering TUT and were recognized after
entering TUT; courses that were registered at TUT, other universities or junior colleges
before entering TUT; and courses registered at universities, junior colleges or graduate
schools in foreign countries (including courses registered for as a credited auditor student)(3) Courses for which credits were earned through mid-course entry, interschool transfer,readmission, or studying abroad, and were subsequently recognized(4) Courses for which credits cannot be counted toward graduation requirements; andcourses for which credits were earned through the system for advance registration tograduate school programs(5) Courses that are designated separately by each department (On-the-job Training(internships), Supervised Research, Seminars, experimental courses, and practical training
courses)- 32 -

③ Each student can check grades and GPA for recognized credits in the ”KYOMU JOHOSYSTEM”.

(4) System for appealing grades
Students who have concerns about their grades for a particular semester can inquire to theclass instructor during the confirmation period. If students have complaints regarding the
instructor’s response, they can submit an appeal. Students, however, cannot appeal the reason
or basis for the grade.
Students should contact the Educational Affairs Division for details.

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- 84 -

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.
