About studies (courses, classes, exams, grades, etc.)
This guide provides information about studying at Aoyama Gakuin University (course registration, classes, exams, grading, promotion to the next year, and graduation, etc.).
A "curriculum" is a systematic organization of university courses, including the number of credits and the year in which they are taken. The purpose of university studies is to progress through the curriculum of one's faculty or department and ultimately acquire the knowledge and skills covered in that curriculum.
The curriculum is determined by the year of enrollment and remains unchanged until graduation. For details on the curriculum of each faculty and department, please refer to the "Course Catalog (Course Registration Guide)" for each faculty.
Students of Aoyama Gakuin University should carefully read the "Course Catalog (Course Registration Guide)" and other materials distributed upon enrollment, and attend the various guidance sessions held during the orientation period from the end of the academic year to the beginning of the academic year. For consultations regarding university studies, please contact Academic Affairs Department Academic Affairs Division (Aoyama Campus) or Sagamihara Campus Administration Department Academic Affairs Division Sagamihara Campus).
