Credit Hours

The Japanese government defines the concept of one credit in Japan is equivalent to 45 hours of workload including 15 – 30 hours of lectures and exercise.
Saitama University follows this regulation; 1credit = 45 hours of workload. To maintain your Student Visa status, exchange students must have at least 10 hours of lecture time per week, which is equivalent to 8 classes/week.

Grades

Exchange students will be evaluated and awarded grades in accordance with Saitama University’s grade policies.

Official Transcripts will be issued at the end of each semester. Transcripts will be mailed to the student’s home university along with the Enrollment Certificate upon the completion of exchange mobility program.
