Check your department’s curriculum (the curriculum map, graduation requirements and curriculum table), and make a four-year study plan. Be sure to take compulsory subjects (subjects that must be taken) and elective compulsory subjects (subjects in which you choose a set number of subjects or credits from a designated category/subject) as early as possible in the allocated academic year.

• Curriculum for each department

Please check here (*Clicking will take you to the “Curriculum” page.)  for the curriculum for each faculty, department, and major. 

• Key points for course planning

1. Understand your Department’s graduation requirements

2. In accordance with the curriculum table, check which subjects have high priority among the graduation requirements, such as compulsory subjects and elective compulsory subjects, and take them as early as possible in the appropriate year (year in which they are allowed to be taken).

3. Ensure that there are no overlaps in the class schedule timetable (day of the week, period and semester in which the courses are offered) between the courses that you wish to take. If there is any overlap, take courses in consideration of the priorities described in 2. above.

4. Check the lecture schedule, attendance requirements, grade evaluation criteria, etc. on the syllabi of the courses you wish to take.

5. When advancing to the next year or after grades are announced, look back at the courses you have taken and earned credits for, and check the remaining credits and courses you need to complete. Also, refer to your department’s curriculum map to understand the relationships between the courses you have taken so far and the courses you will take, as well as the knowledge, skills, abilities, etc. that you need to develop before graduation, so that you can take appropriate courses, including electives.

6. Consult with instructors and administrative staff as needed.

Course registration is a procedure in which students, on their own responsibility, decide the courses they wish to take and register for them within a designated period of time.

In the case of new students, their intention to study at the University is confirmed by course registration.

If you fail to complete course registration within the specified period, you will not be allowed to take the courses you want, and as a result, you will not be able to receive credits for them.

💡For details on how to register for courses, the schedule, etc., please check the "Course Registration Navi" website, which is distributed each academic year.

• Please do not register for courses on ToyoNet-G whose credits you want to apply through this system. If the courses whose credits you want to apply have been automatically registered due to class placement, they will be deleted from your course timetable by the Education Affairs Section after completing the credit recognition procedures.

• Also, the number of credits to be taken in a semester must not exceed the maximum, including courses for which you wish to apply credit recognition.

(Example: If the maximum number of credits you can earn is 22 and you wish to apply for 6 credits through the system, you may register for up to 16 credits.)

• Applications for credit recognition are limited to subjects listed in the curriculum table of the department/course to which you belong.

• Applications for credit recognition can be made regardless of the semester in which the course is offered.

• It is possible to apply for credit recognition multiple times unless the number of credits applied exceeds the maximum number of recognized language credits for each language.

• It is not possible to apply for courses if your current year does not meet the required year for the course. For example, it is not possible to apply for credit recognition for courses designated for '2nd to 4th years' while in your 1st year. Please apply after your 2nd year.

• It is not possible to apply for recognition of credits from courses in which you have already earned credits and received grades. (Assigned grades cannot be overwritten.)

The system allows you to register for courses that are not included in your department’s curriculum table (excluding one-year courses) as free-elective courses with the permission of the instructor in charge.
