Diploma Policy
The mission of our university is to "provide an education based on the highest principles of morality universal to all humankind, and to nurture unity of knowledge and virtue individuals who are both intellectually and morally competent and have a thorough understanding of modern science and knowledge based on that spirit."
Based on this mission, our educational goal is to cultivate the following types of people:
① A person who seeks the truth with great ambition and who possesses high character and profound wisdom.
② People who are grateful for the blessings of nature and our ancestors, and who have a heart that cherishes and nurtures all things.
③ People who can proactively fulfill their duties and responsibilities and contribute to the international community.
If we rephrase these qualities of a person as "academic ability," they can be expressed as follows:
① The ability to see things fairly
② The power of connection
③ Ability to execute
At our university, students who possess these three basic abilities will be certified to graduate and awarded a degree.
Curriculum composition and implementation policy:
Our university fosters the "ability to continue learning throughout one's life" in order to survive in a rapidly changing society. To this end, we have established the "Reitaku Standard Subjects" as a university-wide foundational education, with four pillars: global education to learn languages and the world, moral education based on the founding principles, data science education to learn about the use of data and The Reitaku Standard, and career education to learn the skills and attitudes necessary for social independence. Through learning that transcends and integrates the humanities and sciences, students will acquire the knowledge and understanding, general skills, attitudes and orientations, integrated learning experiences, and creative thinking skills that will serve as the foundation for learning specialized education, while proactively engaging with academic subjects.
In addition, students at our university are expected to develop the three abilities set out in our graduation certification and degree awarding policy in their respective fields: the ability to see things impartially, the ability to connect, and the ability to take action.

Grade evaluation method using GPA
1What is GPA?
GPA (Grade Point Average) is an evaluation method that determines a student's average grade point average calculated based on the grades in each subject.
Because it can be easily used as a common measure regardless of school or country, it is commonly used in universities and high schools in Europe and the United States, and serves as an indicator of academic ability when studying abroad, etc. At our university, it is used as a grade evaluation indicator and for deciding whether or not to accept scholarships, tuition fee reductions, etc.
The calculation method has been revised from fiscal year 2024.

Cancellation of course registration
In order to prevent students from unwillingly taking courses after they have been registered, we have set up a "course cancellation system" that allows students to cancel courses they have registered for within a specified period.
Course abandonment
Please note that if you drop a course you have registered for after the course withdrawal period and receive a grade of D or E, your GPA will be lowered.
About retaking a course
With some exceptions, you may retake courses that you have failed, but you may not retake courses that you have passed.
