Remarks:
- Results may be displayed as a pass or fail under certain circumstances.
- Grades may be awarded after consideration of submitted reports, attendance rates and course completion in addition to exam results under certain circumstances.
- The AA grade has been awarded to students with excellent results who were admitted after 2004. Hence grade AA is included in A for students who have admitted before that.
2. The syllabus will contain subjectwise course objectives (objectives for award of grades) and details on award of results. As a rule, grades will be awarded according to the achievement level of the objectives set for each subject.
3. Lecturers in charge should retain exam scripts and reports submitted by students for up to one year from the date of the exam and one year from the date of submission, respectively, for use in grading and for use in case a student wishes to disclose their results.
However this does not apply to cases in which lecturers return exam scripts to students with a grade or comments. In the case of an exam script, it is desirable to keep the original and return a copy of the script to the student.
(For reference: standard of document storage duration of Tohoku University: Exam scripts and reports for one year)
4. Students may request for an explanation of their examination results from the lecturer in charge within 2 weeks of the date of the examination.
However, in circumstances where the student has a valid reason, they may be able to request for an explanation within the one year storage period of their results.
5. Students who have received an explanation of their results and who wish to appeal their results may report this to the head of the Academic Affairs committee.
6. If there is an appeal, a meeting will be set up with the majority of the Academic Affairs committee in attendance, in order to discuss the appeal.
The Student ID Card that you have been issued is needed to use Automatic Certificate Issuance Machines and the university libraries. Please be aware of the following when using your card.
- 1. Appearance of Name
Your name appears in Kanji characters or alphabetic and katakana (phonetic Japanese) characters on your card.
Kanji characters used to render Japanese and international students' names must conform to Japan Industrial Standards specifications 1 or 2.
Names that contain characters that cannot be rendered by these character sets shall be rendered entirely in katakana. The above also applies to certificates issued by Automatic Certificate Issuance Machines.
We are unable to issue Student ID Cards containing non-standard characters. Thank you for your understanding.
- 2. Passwords
A password for the Tohoku-Dai ID is required to use the Automatic Certificate Issuance Machines.
Your initial password is detailed in the "Integrated Electronic Authentication System of Tohoku University" notification that you received at orientation.
If you have any questions, please inquire at the Instruction Section.
You can change your password by accessing the Integrated Electronic Authentication System of Tohoku University password website and following the on-screen instructions. You should access this website and change your initial default password to a new one immediately.
