Lecture courses and combined courses (lecture & experiment) are evaluated with a letter grade. Courses that instructors have difficulty with giving exact grades for such cases as seminars, master's research, doctoral research and etc. can be evaluated with S (successful) or U (unsuccessful). Grades over D-, and S are recognized as acquired credits. Details of grading system are as follows:

GPA is defined as follows:

(GPA should be calculated down to two decimal places and the numbers to three decimal places should be rounded off.)

Students can see their grades during the correction period right after the end of the term.
