1-1. Credit System

Coursework at APU is based on the credit system. The number of credits earned per course is determined by the Japanese University Establishment Criteria, and is based upon the number of class hours (including study conducted outside of class, homework, etc.).
Students who receive a passing grade in a class for which they are registered receive credits based on the hours completed.

<Example>

Course Type Number of Classes Number of Credits
Lecture Course 14 classes + out-of-class study, homework, etc. 2
Language Course 56 classes + out-of-class study, homework, etc. 4
