Course Registration Credit Limits

Credit-registration limits vary by faculty, campus, and academic year. This page summarizes the supported semester and annual limits and explains that registration limits generally cannot be exceeded.

How registration limits are determined

The maximum number of credits that may be registered in one academic year or semester is set by each faculty in relation to the credits required for graduation. These limits are intended to support planned study across the academic years and sufficient understanding of course content.

Semester credit limits

The supported semester limits differ by scope. A limit of 22 credits per semester is stated for Future Science in academic year 2025, Future Science in academic year 2026, and the System Design and Technology Faculty in academic year 2025. A limit of 22 credits is also stated for the System Design and Technology Faculty in academic year 2026. A limit of 24 credits per semester is stated for the Faculty of Engineering in academic years 2025 and 2026, and for the Faculty of Engineering, Night Division, in academic year 2026. For the Faculty of Engineering, Night Division, in academic year 2025, the supplied facts state both 22 and 24 credits per semester; the available information does not establish which version governs.

Annual registration limit

For the Faculty of Science and Technology at the Saitama Hatoyama Campus in academic year 2025, the annual course-registration limit is 44 credits.

Registering within the limit

The supplied guidance states that students cannot register for courses beyond the applicable limit. For the Faculty of Engineering, Night Division, in academic year 2026, the relevant text also describes an exception system for students who meet specified standards, but those standards are not provided here.
