Courses introduced in or after the 2017 academic year use the "(1) From 2017" grading system and courses introduced prior to the 2017 academic year use the "(2) Prior to 2017" grading system shown below.

However, the Law School has its own grading system, described in "(3) Law School" below, which is not based on the year the course is introduced. At the Law School, if the date on which the student has his/her name removed from the university register is April 1, 2017 or after, his/her grades follow the new grade system, and if the date is prior to April 1, 2017, his/her grades follow the old grade system.

If the student entered the university on or after April 1, 2017, his/her grade point average (GPA) will be shown on the Transcript of Academic Record.
If the student is a student at the Law School, his/her GPA will be shown, regardless of when he/she entered the university.
How the GPA is calculated is shown in the box on the below.

The following students will not have a GPA shown on their Transcript of Academic Record. ("GPA: ----" will be shown on the transcript of academic record.)

• Students who entered the university prior to April 1, 2017 (excluding students in the Law School)
• Students in the Graduate School of Media Design (GPA will be calculated based on the school's own criteria and a separate certificate will be issued upon request.)
• Students who are not full-time degree students (excluding students with certain statuses)

Students who entered the university prior to April 1, 2017 will not have courses they failed shown on their Transcript of Academic Record. For those who entered the university on or after April 1, 2017, grades for all courses will be shown, regardless of whether they pass or fail. Furthermore, for students in the Law School and the Japanese Language Program, all their grades will be shown on the Transcript of Academic Record, regardless of the date they entered and whether they pass or fail.
