Each semester consists of 15 weeks of classes, 1 week of final exams, and a period when classes are not in session. ②Winter programDuring the 8 week period from January to March, supplementary courses are provided for the following students: “English for Academic Excellence” students whose evaluation at end of December was put on holdStudents who are considering taking the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) in preparationfor employment in Japan③Class hours9:00-10:15 10:25-11:40 ④Credit systemAt universities, students study within a carefully designed credit system. The credit system is a system in which students earn credits by taking courses, passing the necessary exams, and are awarded a degree when the number of credits earned reaches a designated total. A credit is an indicator of how much time is required to acquire the contents of a course, and the standard is that 1 credit equals 45 hours of study, which includes not only class time but also time spent studying outside of class (preparation, review, etc.). The credits for each course and credits transferred from exchange partners are calculated according to each course’s style, educational outcome, and the study time required outside class. ⑤Advising systemAdvising refers to the educational guidance provided by faculty members to help students set and achieve academic goals toward graduation and their career path. Students who take “English for Academic Excellence” will be assigned a faculty member from the EAE Program as their EAE advisor. For students who have begun the Liberal Arts Program, a faculty member from the Liberal Arts Program will be assigned as their temporary academic advisor. After declaring a major, a faculty member in charge of that major will be a student’s academic advisor. Students should proactively consult their advisors and seek guidance and advice on the following: Fulfilling graduation requirements and course selection for each semesterStudy Abroad destination and study plan at the Study Abroad university
