*Changes to student status will be handled according to the semester periods defined in the School Rules (spring semester: April 1 – September 15, fall semester: September 16 – March 31).

The semester periods in the School Rules are not the same as those on academic calendars (class calendars).

*Check the details of academic calendars (class calendars) here (*Clicking will take you to the Academic Calendar / Campus Calendar page on the Toyo University website.).

Academic calendars vary from year to year.

Session times of classes are as follows. The length of each class is 90 minutes. Session times are subject to change.

*The classes for the Evening Course (Faculty of Global and Regional Studies, Department of Regional Studies, Regional Studies Course) are held during the second session. However, inter-courses auditing are given in the 3rd to 6th periods, while Fundamental Education Courses and Common Education Courses are offered during the 1st to 7th periods.

There are two types of courses offered at Toyo University: in-person credit recognition courses and non-in-person credit recognition courses.

Both types of courses are based on lecture schedules that guarantee a total class time of 90 minutes x 15 classes.

Check the Type of Conduction column of the relevant syllabus for the type of provision of each class.

■ In-person credit recognition courses

Of the total 15 classes, more than half (eight or more) will be provided in person. The courses will be provided in two ways explained below. They are treated as in-person credit recognition courses regardless of how they will be provided.

Check the relevant syllabus, etc., for the class schedule and the method of provision of each class.

(1) Courses that are provided by combining in-person and non-in-person classes

In principle, 13 in-person classes and two on-demand or other types of classes will be held.

On-demand classes may be delivered before regular class periods.

In addition, up to seven classes may be held in a non-in-person format (on-demand classes or remote classes). Even in this case, the courses are treated as in-person credit recognition courses.

(2) Courses in which all 15 classes are provided in person

As for courses in which all 15 classes are provided in person, classes may be held during special class periods within T-Weeks.

*Check the academic calendar (class calendar) for the schedule of the special class periods.

■ Non-in-person credit recognition courses

All 15 classes in the courses will be held in a non-in-person format (on-demand classes or remote classes).

As for non-in-person credit recognition courses, as stipulated in Article 39-2 of the School Rules, the number of credits that are recognized as graduation requirement credits cannot exceed the upper limit of 60 credits.

Since the excess credits will not be included in the graduation requirement credits if the number of credits of non-in-person courses exceeds 60, register for courses in a planned manner to ensure that there will be no missing credits.

If you take classes offered at campuses other than the Hakusan Campus (including the General Sports Center), please plan your schedule carefully, considering the travel time between campuses.

*Course registration is only possible if sufficient travel time is ensured. 

Classes may be canceled due to unavoidable circumstances involving the instructor.

• How to confirm class cancellations (when cancellations are decided in advance)

Information on class cancellations and make-up classes will be posted in “Class Cancellation/Make-up Class Information” on ToyoNet-G and on the Toyo University Official App.
Note: Before course registration is finalized (e.g., during the registration period), you can check all canceled courses via ToyoNet-G > Menu > Class Cancellations / Make-up Classes > Class Cancellations. 

• How to confirm class cancellations (when cancellations are announced suddenly)

In case of unforeseen circumstances leading to sudden class cancellations, faculty members will directly inform students in the classroom.
