Credit Transfer
Credits earned at other universities can be transferred to APU.
3rd Year Transfer Students can transfer a maximum of 62 credits to APU.
- As a rule, course names will not be carried over.
-
Only selected courses from accredited schools (AACSB, EQUIS, EPAS, AMBA) will have their course names transferred.
- Credits for Required Courses at APU cannot be transferred.
-
This also applies to Required Language Education courses.
How to check Transferred Credits
You can check your transferred credits on the grade report system after enrollment.
The university will not notify you. You must check the information yourself.
Details on how to check this information will be shared at the guidance session after enrollment.
Seminar Courses (Seminars)
At APU, Seminar Courses (Seminars) are required in some colleges.
Transfer students / reenrollees will be registered for seminars immediately after enrollment.
You must apply for registration in advance (especially APS and ST students). You will be contacted individually about registration procedures that need to be completed before enrollment. Before applying, we recommend that you read through the seminar course pages of each college to find the information necessary for your application, such as which professor’s seminar you would like to take.
Each College’s Seminar Course Page
- This is an important procedure that APS and ST students must carry out in order to graduate. Please check the application schedule and overview yourself.
- Transfer students begin applying for seminars after the application period for current students has already ended, so you can only apply for seminars which still have seats available at that time. Thank you for your understanding.
Differences from Regular Students
Exemption from Required Language Courses
Regular students must earn credit for required language courses in order to graduate, but 3rd year Transfer Students are exempt from this requirement.
However, you can still choose to register for language courses. To do so, you must apply in advance and take a language placement test before enrollment. You will be placed in the appropriate level of English course based on the results of the placement test. Please note, if you do not take the placement test before enrollment, you cannot change your mind and register for English courses after enrollment.
Registration of Lecture Courses taught in English
Japanese-basis domestic students normally are required to “earn 20 credits of courses taught in English” in order to graduate, but 3rd year Transfer Students are also exempt from this requirement.
In addition, Japanese-basis students are required to “earn credit for Intermediate English A/B” before they can take lecture courses taught in English, but 3rd year transfer students are also exempt from this requirement. You can register for courses taught in English immediately after enrollment.
