Promotion Requirements

Students are required to fulfill both of the requirements listed as (1) and (2) below by the end of their second year in order to register for the courses designated for third- and/or fourth-year students.

1. Students must earn at least 55 credits from strongly-recommended courses designated for first- and/or second-year students.
2. Students admitted in or before AY2021 must score at least 400 points, and students admitted in or after AY2022 must score at least 450 points for one of the TOEIC Listening & Reading tests developed and produced by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) (Only scores earned after admission to the University shall be valid, in principle. Scores for TOEIC IP (Institutional Program) tests conducted outside of the University of Aizu will not be accepted.).

If students fail to clear either one or both of the requirements listed above, they cannot go on to register for the courses designated for third- and/or fourth-year students. In that case, they have to wait at least one semester to be allowed to register for the courses until it is confirmed that they have cleared the requirements at the end of each semester.

For students enrolled in ICTG in and after AY2020, the promotion requirements are as follows.

3. Students must earn at least 46 credits from strongly-recommended courses designated for first- and/or second-year students.
