📚General Questions
- What is the minimum / maximum number of credits I can register for?
- International students must, by law, register for at least 10 hours of courses per week (i.e., at least 7 sessions of RU classes). At RU, students can register for up to 20 RU credits per semester.
- How likely am I to be placed in a certain class?
- Generally, courses with no limit on the number of SKP students (i.e., designated in the “Number of SKP Students” column in the course lists) can be registered successfully. However, for courses with a limited student capacity, if the number of applicants exceeds the enrollment limit, placement will be determined by a lottery system.
- I accidentally submitted the form with the wrong information! Can I resubmit my application?
- Until the course registration deadline, you can go back and edit your course registration web form. To avoid the possibility of not registering for a desired course, etc., please double-check your course registration web form before submitting.
- Where do I check my course registration?
- Course registration results can be checked via manaba+R "Courses" tab on the date written in the course registration guideline. Your registered courses will appear on your class schedule on manaba+R. Please refer to course registration guideline for details.
📚CSC
- I want to take Campus-Specific Courses (CSC). If I apply for more than one courses and am approved for all of them, can I withdraw?
- You cannot cancel CSC courses once registered.
Please make sure that you register only for the courses that you wish to take that are within your budget.
※Each CSC course is popular and there is a high likelihood of there being a lottery to decide participants. Please be reminded that you may not be able to register for your desired course.
⚠️Questions only apply to IJL students
- How do I change my IJL Japanese language class level?
- As students are placed in Japanese classes according to the result of their ROJPT, generally students are not allowed to change levels before the start of classes. If you feel that you are not suited to your Japanese level, please consult with the class instructor on the first day of class.
- I want to take Regular Courses in Japanese, but I’m not IJL Level VII or Ⅷ. Is it possible to take Regular Courses in Japanese?
- Only students that have been placed in IJL Level VII or Ⅷ are allowed to register Regular Courses in Japanese.
- I am an IJL student and would like to take Regular Courses offered in English, how should we register for Regular Courses offered in English?
- Please register the course code of the course you wish to take through the IJL Course Registration Web Form. However please note that since the priority to register for Regular courses offered in English is RCE track students, the number of courses IJL students can register for is limited.
In principle, IJL track students can register up to two English courses only if there are available courses after the RCE track students have registered. Japanese language classes require a lot of preparation and review, so students need to plan their coursework carefully.
⚠️Questions only apply to RCE students @KIC campus
- How can I register for RCE Japanese Language Courses?
- RCE@KIC students that applied to register for the introductory level RCE@KIC Japanese course have already been notified whether or not they are able to register. If you did not apply to take RCE@KIC Japanese in your SKP Application Form, you will not be able to register for any Japanese language course at Ritsumeikan University.
