Please check the date of grade announcement on the websites of the Center for Science and Engineering.Grades of lecture courses, seminar courses, and the master’s thesis are indicated by A+, A, B, C, and F. The grades A+ to C are passing grades, The grade F is a failing grade. Research guidance grades are indicated by P and Q. P is a passing grade and Q is a failing grade. In addition to these grades, the symbols H and * are used in a grade report.H... Means that the grade for the course is on hold. If you receive this mark, you will be given instructions by the instructor. If you do not follow these instructions, the grade F will automatically be applied when a given academic year ends.*... Means that you have registered for the course, but the instructor in charge has not given grades for the course.GradeScoreTranscriptJudgment Waseda University uses an evaluation system with a set of conversion rates called Grade Points (4 points for A+, 3 points for A, 2 points for B, 1 point for C, and zero points for Failing Grades).A Grade Point Average (GPA) is a score calculated by multiplying “number of credits” and “corresponding grade point (4 for A+, 3 for A etc.)”, summing up the values obtained for all of the grades, and dividing the result by “total number of registered credits”. The total number of registered credits includes credits for failing grades.The GPA is calculated using the following formula: {(No. of A+ credits x 4) + (No. of A credits x 3) + (No. of B credits x 2) + (No. of C credits x 1) + (No. of Failing Grades x 0)} Total number of registered credits *The GPA will be rounded to the second decimal place.(II) Courses used in the GPA calculationThe GPA calculation considers only registered courses that count as credit toward graduation. The following grades, however, will not be included in the GPA calculation even if credit from the course is counted toward the minimum number of credits required for graduation.163163
