Introduction of the GPA System

Overview

GPA is an average of the proficiency level of all courses taken by individual students, calculated as follows, and will be displayed on grade reports, transcripts, etc.

The GPA is intended to provide an indicator that can be used to comprehensively judge learning outcomes and to contribute to self-management, such as improving motivation to learn and learning plans.
However, the GPA may be used for academic guidance interviews and internal selection for scholarships for students with outstanding academic performance.
