About the Credit System
According to the Standards for the Establishment of Universities, 15 hours of lectures and 30 hours of out-of-class study are required to earn one credit.
In other words, the following study hours are required to earn 2 credits.
| Lecture Hours | Outside Classroom Study Hours | plan |
|---|---|---|
| 2 (hours) x 15 (weeks) = 30 hours | 4 (hours) x 15 (weeks) = 60 hours | 90 hours |
*Ehime University converts 15 lessons of 90 minutes into 2 credits.
Academic Grading
Academic performance will be determined by examinations and regular grades. Academic performance is graded on a 100-point scale, with credits awarded for courses in which 60 points or more are earned.
The criteria for determining academic achievement at Ehime University are as follows
| superlativeness | From 90 to 100 points | The attainment objectives of the courses are achieved at an extremely high level. |
|---|---|---|
| superior | 80 to 90 points | The attainment objectives of the course subjects are achieved at a high level. |
| good | 70 to 80 points | The attainment objectives of the coursework have been achieved at a standard level. |
| acceptable | 60 to 70 points | The attainment objectives of the coursework have been achieved at a minimum level. |
| not allowed | Less than 60 points | The attainment objectives of the course have not been achieved. |
About the university-wide GPA
University-wide GPA (grade point average): Used for students’ self-management of their own learning process and achievement status, as well as for faculty to monitor students’ academic progress and provide detailed guidance and advice.
Calculation Method
The grade points of the registered courses are replaced by GP (grade point) as shown in the following table.
GP and grading points
| GP | grades | plan |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | superlativeness | 90 to 100 |
| 3 | superior | 80-89 |
| 2 | good | 70-79 |
| 1 | acceptable | 60-69 |
| 0 | not allowed | Less than 60 points |
| 0 | Not rated | Failure to meet evaluation criteria such as lack of attendance |
The university-wide GPA is calculated using this GP with the following formula.
*All common education courses and specialized education courses are eligible. However, courses evaluated as “approved” or “passed” and courses for which registration is cancelled are not included in the GPA calculation formula.
*In addition to this, each department has its own purpose-specific GPA used for its own purposes.
