Registering for courses means that students choose courses specified by the undergraduate faculty and learn the subjects in order to earn credits. When registering for courses, students must take into account the number of credits they have earned so far, their requirements for advancement or graduation, and the timetable and syllabus of each course.

1. Course registration takes place at the beginning of each semester. Students attend the courses they have registered for.
2. Grades are given for the registered courses. Each course has its own method for grade assessment such as final exams, papers, in-class examinations, etc.
3. Grades for registered courses are announced in the form of a grade report. If the grade meets the requirement for passing the course, credits will be given.

Taking into consideration the number of credits earned, students will plan what courses to take in the following semester. Students can advance to the next year or graduate by accumulating credits and meeting the designated requirements.

Through course registration, students choose which courses they will be taking and show their academic intentions to study. If courses are not registered for within the specified period, the student will be regarded as having no intention to study. Under Article 188 of the University Undergraduate Rules and Regulations, the student will then be subject to withdrawal from the University. Carefully read the following description of the course registration process so that you do not make any errors. The Course Registration Period will be announced at K-Support.
If you plan to take a temporary leave of absence without registering for courses, you must submit an Application for Temporary Leave of Absence by the last day of the course registration period.

Course Registration Schedule

After the grades are announced at the end of each semester, the course registration schedule for the following semester will be announced at K-Support. Make sure to check it.

Syllabus Viewing and Confirmation of Student Screening Information, etc.

Referring to the syllabus and timetable, select courses to register for in the upcoming semester. The syllabus contains course descriptions, information on the grading system, the limit to the number of students, and more. Some courses require prior knowledge, skills, prerequisite and/or recommended courses. Make sure you read the information on the syllabus carefully before registering for a course.

Student Screening and Confirmation of Results

Many courses require student screenings before the first class to determine the registrants. Apply for a student screening, and make a course registration plan according to the results. The main ways student screenings are conducted are described below:

• Student Screening
  In general, student screenings are completed via SOL-A (https://sola.sfc.keio.ac.jp/). The details will be announced on K-Support. Be sure to check K-Support to confirm the selection method before the student screening period starts each semester. Starting from AY2023, student screenings for English language courses in the Language Communication Subjects and courses in the Fundamentals of Information Technology will be conducted on SOL-A.

• Seminars
  Spring Semester Syllabus available: early January Screening: early January
  Fall Semester Syllabus available: early July Screening: early July
  In principle, screenings for Seminars begin during the semester prior to the semester you wish to register for them, so students planning to take Seminars should check the details online as soon as the syllabus becomes available and apply for the student screenings.

Online Course Registration through K-Support

In the first course registration, students register for courses offered by other faculties, research institutes or centers.
In the second course registration, students register for courses offered by the Faculty of Policy Management, the Faculty of environment and Information Studies and the Graduate School of Media and Governance and available courses offered by other faculties, research institutes or centers.
Please allow plenty of time for course registration. If you have any questions, please contact the SFC Office of Student Services (Academic Affairs) by the end of the course registration period. Please note that no inquiries will be accepted by phone.

Overview

The Faculty of Policy Management and the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies implement a student screening for many courses, in which students who are eligible to take a course are determined before course registration and before classes begin.
There are two main methods of the student screening for courses: Assignment Screening and Lottery Screening.
Only those students who have completed the "Entry for Student Screening" process and have been approved to take the course will be able to take the course for which they are accepted.
Some courses may have their own selection process, so please check here as well. The course registration is not completed only by completing the Entry for Student Screening. Students need to complete both the Entry for Student Screening and the course registration.

Entry for Student Screening

A new student screening system will be in operation from AY2021.

Student Screening System User's Guide (Japanese)
Student Screening System User's Guide (English)

Access the Student Screening System from the URL below;
https://sola.sfc.keio.ac.jp/

Assignment Screening

In the assignment screening, students submit reports, essays, etc. through the student screening system to make the entry. The details of the assignments will be announced in the syllabus, so please check the syllabus as soon as it is released.

Lottery Screening

In the lottery student screening, the "Course Preferences" is determined by the size of the applicant's desire to take the selected courses.
For details, see here (Keio ID required)

Students of Other Faculties or Graduate Schools

Students of the Faculty of Policy Management, the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies, the Graduate School of Media and Governance, the Faculty of Nursing and Medical Care and the Graduate School of Health Management are able to use the student screening system for entry, but students of other faculties or campus are not be able to use this system. If you are a student of another faculty and wish to take an SFC course with student screening, please check the selection information in the syllabus (available on the campus network) in advance, and contact the lecturer in charge of the class directly to confirm if you can take the course.
From AY2023, students of the Faculty of Nursing and Medical Care and the Graduate School of Health Management can use the student screening system for entry.

Registering for specific courses

Applying for student screenings and registering for courses are conducted on the different system. If you do not correctly register for courses, you cannot take those courses even if you were selected for through the student screenings.

• Students planning to register for courses other than those offered by the Faculty of Policy Management and the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies should read "Cross-Registration Courses" on this page.
• No change can be made after the course registration period has ended. Credits cannot be earned for courses that have not been registered for.

Maximum number of credits that may be earned in a single semester

The number of credits that may be earned in a single semester is as follows:
Maximum number of credits required for advancement and graduation: 20 credits
Maximum number of credits including those for Optional Subjects: 30 credits

However, the courses listed below will not be counted toward the maximum number of credits that may be earned:

Physical and Mental Health for Campus Life, Physical Education 1, Physical Education 2, Physical Education 3, Physical Education 4, Physical Education 5, Special Research Project A, Special Research Project B, German Study Abroad A, German Study Abroad B, French Study Abroad A, French Study Abroad B, Chinese Study Abroad A, Chinese Study Abroad B, Korean Study Abroad A, Korean Study Abroad B, Malay-Indonesian Study Abroad A, Malay-Indonesian Study Abroad B, Spanish Study Abroad A, Spanish Study Abroad B, Arabic Study Abroad A, Arabic Study Abroad B, English Study Abroad A, English Study Abroad B

Also, since courses with transferable credits earned before entering the Master's Program are Optional Subjects, credits for these courses will not be included in the maximum number of credits (20 credits) required for advancement and graduation.

Handling of the maximum number of credits permitted to earn from remote (online) classes

The maximum number of credits earned from remote (online) courses*1 that can be counted toward fulfilling the number of credits required for advancement/graduation is 60 credits. *2

If you still wish to register for remote (online) courses even though you will exceed the 60-credit cap, please register for them as Optional Subjects.
*1 "Remote (online) course" is defined as courses in which more than half of the total number of sessions are taught online.
*2 Remote (online) courses taken in the 2021 academic year or before are considered special exceptions under COVID-19 prevention measures and thus will be exempt from the maximum credit limit.

Fields

Fields are course categories based on the University Rules and Regulations. Courses offered by the Faculty of Policy Management and the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies are all assigned "Fields." When a course is registered for, a field that corresponds with the course is automatically assigned to it (Column A registration).

When registering for courses that do not have assigned fields such as courses offered by other faculties, research institutes or centers, or taking courses as Optional Subjects, fields need to be designated when the courses are registered. Make sure you register correctly by referring to the chart below to check which fields courses can be designated as.

Important Points

Registration methods and periods for courses offered by other faculties, research institutes, etc., may differ from those for courses offered by the Faculty of Policy Management and the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies. Be careful when registering for these courses.

Courses that May be Registered for

Be sure to confirm the course information, description, and syllabus for each course before registering. Courses offered by other faculties, etc. may be taken only if the following two requirements are met:

1. The Faculty Offering the Course Allows Students from Other Faculties to Take Courses
   Courses listed on the chart "Subjects with Restrictions for Students from Other Faculties and Graduate Schools: Undergraduate" on the Keio University Student Website cannot be taken. Make sure to check this list as well as the course registration information for each faculty posted on the Keio University Student Website and K-Support.
   Some courses have restrictions on your affiliation and/or student year. If you do not meet the student year requirement, you will be unable to take the course even if it is not a "Subject with Restrictions." Some faculties have courses with restrictions not listed on this chart, and there may also be some courses offered as Optional Subjects to students from other faculties. Students should gather necessary information through the syllabus, Keio University Student Website, K-Support, and announcements on the notice boards of each faculty, etc.
2. Permission of the Faculty Member in Charge of the Course
   Attend the first class meeting and obtain permission from the faculty member in charge of the course. If the meeting is cancelled, or if permission could not be obtained during the Spring Semester for a course held in the Fall Semester, obtain permission when the first class meeting is held.

Course Registration

You can only register for courses described in "Courses that May be Registerd for" above. Make sure that you select the appropriate field (refer to "Courses, Number of Credits, Fields") and register within the registration period.

• *Fall Semester courses offered by other faculties, research institutes, etc., that you register for in the Spring Semester must be cancelled in the Fall Semester course cancellation period. Amendments may be permitted only in the case of unavoidable circumstances, such as if SFC class-designated courses or required courses overlap with these courses. In such cases, contact the Office of Student Services (Academic Affairs) by the end of the course registration period.
• *Some courses cannot be registered online. Register with plenty of time beforehand and check with the SFC Office of Student Services (Academic Affairs) during the course registration period if you cannot register online. Inquiries will not be entertained after the course registration period ends.

Fields

You must choose the appropriate field and register it. Please refer to "Courses, Number of Credits, Fields."

Student Year for Course Registration

Other faculties have student year restrictions for registering for certain courses. These restrictions should be followed. Many courses offered at the Mita and Yagami campuses require that students have at least advanced to their third year. (However, the Faculty of Letters at Mita Campus requires students to have advanced to at least their second year.)
For Common Courses at Hiyoshi Campus, student year designations for course registration may differ according to the faculty to which the student belongs. Find the timetable for your student year (e.g., the timetable for first-year students if you are a first-year student) from among the timetables for the main faculty (faculty overseeing the course) of the course to be taken.

Class period-related Restrictions

If you intend to take a course at SFC and a course offered at another campus (including those offered in the Toho Building), they cannot be registered for in consecutive class periods. There must be an interval of at least one class period to allow time for commuting between campuses. Students may not register for courses that are logistically impossible to attend when taking courses on multiple campuses. Students are not permitted to take courses along the lines of the following examples. Example 1: Taking a course that has 3rd period classes on Mita Campus and a course that has 4th period classes on Hiyoshi Campus. Example 2: Taking a course that has 2nd period classes on Mita Campus and a course that has 3rd period classes on Shonan Fujisawa Campus. If commuting between the Hiyoshi and Mita campuses, students are permitted to take courses in which the 2nd and 3rd periods respectively fall before and after lunch. However, students should be aware that they may be late to such classes at times.

Taking remote (online) classes

Check the "Guidelines for Taking Online Classes" available on sites such as K-LMS. If classes are offered in consecutive periods on different campuses, it is possible to register for them if one or both of them are conducted online (for example, taking a 1st period class in-person on Hiyoshi Campus followed by a 2nd period class online that is conducted from Mita Campus). However, students are not permitted to take a 1st period class offered by SFC (9:25-10:55) and a 2nd period class offered by other campuses (10:45-12:15) as class hours overlap with one another. On the other hand, it is permitted to take a 1st period class offered by other campuses (9:00-10:30) and a 2nd period class offered by SFC (11:10-12:40). Even if classes are conducted in an online format, there may be cases that would cause inconveniences in the setup of your class schedule, such as a portion of class sessions or examinations being conducted in-person. When taking classes for courses offered on different campuses in consecutive class periods for which one or both courses are conducted online, the student will be responsible for checking the syllabus for the details of the class format and confirming with the course instructors to make sure there will be no conflicts in registering for these courses.

Credits and Grades for Year-long Courses/Set Courses

Credits for year-long courses are divided equally between the Spring Semester and the Fall Semester to fulfill credit requirements. Credits and grades for year-long courses are given at the end of the Fall Semester only and will not be divided by semester.
Set courses are conducted over the Spring and Fall semesters as a set (or pair of courses). Therefore, registration in only one course of a set is not possible. Grades for set courses are given collectively at the end of the Fall Semester. However, when the set of courses are held in the same semester, grades will be given at the end of the said semester.

Course Cancellation

Course cancellation for year-long courses, set courses, and Spring Semester courses must be done in the Spring Semester course cancellation period, and for Fall Semester courses in the Fall Semester course cancellation period. However, you cannot cancel courses that are listed in "(Undergraduate faculties) Courses for which cancellation by students of other undergraduate faculties/graduate schools is not permitted." Make sure to check this list as well as the course registration information for each faculty posted on the Keio University Student Website.
Also, you cannot cancel or make amendments to year-long or Fall Semester courses in the Fall Semester course registration or amendment periods, if the courses were registered for in the Spring Semester.

• Some courses may have restrictions on their ability to be cancelled. Make sure to read the course descriptions and syllabus carefully before registering for courses.
• Please ensure to check the latest information, including postings, as new restrictions may apply to the cancellation of registered courses.
• Please note that there may also be restrictions depending on the field or your student year.

Courses Offered by Research Institutes or Centers

The fields for each course offered by other research institutes or centers are shown below. Make sure that the field is appropriate before registering.
* Register for these courses in the same way as those offered by other faculties.
* In the case that the below courses are held at the same course period and by the same professor (a course held in parallel with another faculty), you can register for those courses as courses offered by other faculties (the field will then be different. Example: The course "Modern Japan and Yukichi Fukuzawa 1" offered at the Fukuzawa Memorial Institute for Modern Japanese Studies is listed as a general education course at the Faculty of Economics on the Hiyoshi timetable).
