Credit Requirement Consultation
Share on:
To help students better understand their graduation requirements and plan for course registration, students can check their credit requirements, and acquired credits by following the procedure outlined below.
However, it's important to note that checking one' credit status through the Acquired Credit Checklist alone does not guarantee that a student will successfully graduate.
The standard length of study (4 years for undergraduate students) is determined by APU's academic regulations. In addition, each college has its own requirements for graduation. Between the College of Asia Pacific Studies (APS), the College of International Management (APM), and the College of Sustainability and Tourism (ST), each curriculum has different requirements (college courses, area of study courses, etc.) for graduation.
For details on graduation requirements, please refer to Chapters 8, 9, and 10 of APU’s Academic Information page: “Curriculum and Graduation Requirements for Each College”.
For graduation expectations, please see Chapter 6 of Academic Information: “Grades and GPA”.

“Information” section of the Campusmate login screen in advance.
You will not be able to check your Course Registration screen from the day grades are announced until the day
before Course Registration Period A, so please check your Grade Report screen and fill out as much of the
Confirmation Sheet as possible in that case.
Time Required for Results
- It will take approximately 2 to 3 days for the results to be returned.
- Many students apply right before or after course registration periods, so it may take time for the Office to check the information and return the results. Please submit applications with plenty of time to spare.
