General Information
<Number of credits>
According to the rules and regulations for maintaining your Japanese student visa, all
exchange students must register for a minimum of 10 contact hours per week each semester.
This is equivalent to 7 courses (90minutes x 7 courses = 10.5 hours per week) at Rikkyo University. In
most cases, one course is 2 credit units; a 2 credit unit class usually meets once a week for 90 minutes
for 14 weeks. Students may register for a maximum of 20 credits per semester. Students who wish to
register for more than 20 credits per semester must consult with their academic advisor at Rikkyo or the
COB Study Abroad Director (Professor Tsuji).

the regular class mentioned above. Then students should notify the COB International Business
Program Office (M611) of the name of the faculty supervisor and the number of credits by 5pm
