How Attendance and Missed Exams Affect Grades and Credits

Poor attendance, prolonged absence, or failure to take an academic examination can result in a course being recorded as abandoned, shown as “-”. The exact rule and whether credits are lost depend on the academic year and faculty.

Rules for the 2025 academic year

At Tokyo Senju Campus, in the Faculty of Systems Design and Engineering, abandoning a registered course through prolonged absence during the class period or failing to take an academic examination may result in an abandoned grade, shown as “-”. If the instructor determines that poor attendance means you have abandoned the course partway through, the grade is “-”.

In the Faculty of Engineering, Division II, if the instructor determines that poor attendance means you have abandoned the course partway through, the grade for that course is “-”.

Poor attendance in the 2026 academic year

In the Faculty of Systems Design and Engineering, the Faculty of Future Science, and the Faculty of Engineering at Tokyo Senju Campus, the instructor may record an abandoned grade, shown as “-”, when poor attendance is judged to mean that you have abandoned the course partway through.

Prolonged absence or a missed examination in 2026

In the Faculty of Engineering, Division II, abandoning a registered course through prolonged absence during the class period or failing to take an academic examination may result in an abandoned grade, shown as “-”.
