Class Registration / examination / grade

Course registration is required for liberal arts and sciences courses.
Regarding the course registration process, please consult the " Handbook of Liberal Arts and General Education Courses ".

• 2001 . Do I need to register for pre-registered and class designated courses?
  Yes. All courses, excluding some intensive lectures, need to be registered. For intensive lectures, ILAS seminars (Only if 1st year undergraduate students apply in the first semester.), courses in the language group (except for Spoken Spanish IA and IB), courses in International Communication Field in Career Development Group, courses in Common Graduate Course (except for Presentation for Graduate Students and Division of Graduate Studies' Cooperative Education through Research Internships I・II) and courses in Interdisciplinary Graduate Courses group require registration during the class registration period.
• 2002 . Are (course title) I and (course title) II different courses? e.g. Philosophy I and Philosophy II, Logic I or Logic II
  Yes, (course title) I and (course title) II are different courses. If you earn the credits of both courses, both are admitted to the graduation requirement.
• 2003 . Are the similar course title courses different from each other? e.g. Sociology I and Advanced Sociology I, or Human Geography and Topics in Human Geography I
  Yes, they are different courses. If you earn the credits of both courses, both are admitted to the graduation requirement. All distinguished course titles are shown up on this year's course catalog.

• 2005 . Can I register more than two courses on the same day/period?
  No. You can only register for one course on one day/period. As an exception, exercise classes of a pair of Calculus with Exercise and Linear Algebra with Exercise designated to a class are offered in a single timeslot, however, you can register the pair of classes.
• 2006 . Calculus with Exercises and Linear Algebra with exercises are partially offered on the same day and period and how should I register for these courses?
  Both Calculus with Exercises and Linear Algebra with Exercises consist of lecture per week and exercise class every other week, and at the overlapped period, exercise classes of calculus and linear algebra are alternately offered by week.
  A pair of Calculus with Exercises and Linear Algebra with Exercises allotted to a class (e.g. Class 1, Faculty of Science) can be registered regardless of their overlap. It is an exemption of no multiple registrations in a single time slot.
• 2007 . A class of Calculus with Exercise course is placed in the "other" section instead of in the timetable. Does it matter?
  Exercise classes of Calculus and Linear Algebra that fall under the same day/period are conducted alternately every week. For technical reasons, if two or more courses on the same day/period in the timetable on KULASIS, the class registration cannot be finalized. So for convenience, in order for students to be able to take both the courses which are allotted to the same class, one of the exercises is moved to the "other" section. Hence, students can finalize the class registration as initially registered.
• 2008 . I found a couple of the class designated courses were set initially in a time slot of the class registration timetable. Which course should I take?
  Go to Information・Class support page on KULASIS and go to "Student affairs and welfare information (Liberal Arts and General Education Courses)” section and then, you can find the post of "【重要】「クラス指定科目」の履修について"
  According to the designated English class (you can find this information on the "registration information" page on KULASIS) or your department, the course which you should take is determined. Check them and register for the designated course.
• 2009 . (For 1st year undergrads) Because a course I want to take overlaps with the day/period of my class designated course or an allotted language course, can I change my course to another day/period’s course?
  For 1st year undergrads, changing a class designated course to take an elective course is in principle not allowed (except for a class designated course offered as well as a selective course). However, students may be allowed to make such a course change if course conflicts occur between class designated courses and non-designated foreign languages (Russian, Italian, Korean, Arabic(*1), Japanese), French I (8 hours course), and German I (6hours course). In this case, you may need to follow a special procedure. Please consult with the ILAS Student Desk. Note that some courses restrict the number of enrollments.
  * Register to an assigned class in your own faculty for "Mathematical Description of Natural Phenomena" offered at the Faculty of Engineering.
  * Register to assigned "Basic Physical Chemistry (quantum theory /thermodynamics)", "Basic organic chemistry I/II" offered at the Chemical Science and Technology department in Faculty of Engineering, if you belong to the department.
  * If you belong to the Electrical and Electronic Engineering department in the Faculty of Engineering, it is not accepted to register “Basic Informatics” and “Basic Informatics practice” offered to other than your department.
  
  *1 For AY2024, Primary Arabic is designated to 1st-year undergraduates students.
• 2010 . (For 2nd year or higher undergrads)A course I want to take overlaps with the day/period of my class designated course, so I want to take a non-class designated course for me. What should I do?
  For 2nd year or higher undergrads, it does not require special registration in this case. However, note that some courses limit the number of students who can participate or restrict the students who can register for the course.
• 2011 . I can't find a course that I want to take in my class designated courses, so I want to take a designated course offered for another class. What should I do?
  1st year undergrads can be allowed to take the course if they get permission from the instructor of the course. If the course is also open for non-class designated students as a selective course, it can be taken without permission.
  2nd year or higher undergrads can take the course without any special registration.
  Anyway, please note that some courses limit the number of enrollments or restrict the students who can register for the course.
• 2012 . (For 1st-year undergraduates) There are no Sports I want to take in my class designated courses. Can I take a Sport other than the class designated courses?
  If there is no schedule conflict in the timetable, it is possible to take a Sport other than the class designated courses. Please apply for a KULASIS lottery (after the lottery, applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis) for the class you want to take.
• 2013 . (For 1st year undergrads) In the first semester, I took a class designated course allotted for another class. Can I continue to take the class under the same instructor for the second semester?
  Obtain the instructor's permission and, as some courses require a special procedure, apply at the ILAS Student Desk.
• 2014 . (For 1st year undergrads) How can I register a course that is eligible to 2nd-year students or above?
  Regarding the courses of Natural Sciences or Informatics and Health and Sports, you do not need any special registration.
  The courses of Humanities and Social Sciences (excepting E1 courses) and the courses in Languages (only the students who passed the screening for exemption from taking introductory classes for a language) require special registration. Note that some courses limit the enrollments.
  ※If you are a student who already earned credits or exempted from taking introductory classes for foreign languages, refer to "Pre-registration of foreign languages Q&A".
• 2015 . (For 2nd year or higher undergrads) I want to repeat the class designated course (excluding foreign language courses) that I failed in my 1st year. Which class can I take?
  You do not necessarily have to take the same course as you took in the 1st year. Take class contents into consideration and choose the day/period in which you can take the course. Note that depending on faculty and department, some courses are strictly class designated.
  You do not need a special registration to take such a course. However, also note that some courses limit the number of enrollments.
• 2016 . (For 2nd year or higher undergrads) Can I take a foreign language in a class allotted to 1st year undergrads?
  English Reading and Writing-Listening classes are only for 1st year undergraduate students. 2nd year or higher undergraduate students who have not earned credits of English Reading, English Writing-Listening A and B need to pre-register a course for students who haven't earned credits. If you are a first learner, pre-registration is required to take German, French, Chinese, and Spanish classes designated for 1st year undergraduate students. Repeating students should take re-take classes.
• 2017 . I forgot to apply for the enrollment restricted courses. /I was not chosen by lottery. What should I do?
  If the number of enrolled students does not reach the enrollment limit as the result of pre-registration, students might have a chance to register for that class via KULASIS on a first-come, first-served basis. If a student deletes the permitted course, an application is accepted on KULASIS in the 2nd/3rd first-come, first-served application periods following the period when the cancellation was made.
  
  The pre-registration is divided into 2 periods. For courses that did not reach capacity after the lottery in the pre-registration period 1, students will be able to apply for the courses during the pre-registration period 2.
  After the pre-registration period 2, as mentioned above, an application is accepted through KULASIS on a first-come, first-served basis.
• 2018 . Can I take courses that employ the Instructor Recommendation option without submitting an assignment?
  Students who are recommended by instructors will be given priority in the lottery, but will not be disqualified from taking the course for not submitting an assignment.
• 2019 . How to cancel the course permitted on the lottery?
  You can delete the courses by clicking [X] during timetable creation period. Also you can delete the courses by selecting either “Do not take class” or the other course in the same timeslot when finalizing your class registration during the course registration period and class registration confirmation/revision period. However, please note that when you want to put back the course you deleted, you need to apply on a first-come, first-served basis.
  
  Note:
  The pre-registration is divided into 2 periods. For courses that did not reach capacity after the lottery in the pre-registration period 1, students will be able to apply for the courses during the pre-registration period 2.
  However, when you are selected for courses by lottery in the pre-registration period 1, you cannot apply for the enrollment restricted courses in the same day and period or with the same course title during the pre-registration period 2, even after deleting the courses you were selected for.
• 2020 . I was not chosen by lottery but I received the permission from the instructor at the first class. How to register the course?
  Personal permission given by an instructor is not accepted. Please apply on a first-come, first-served basis.
• 2021 . About when the enrollment restricted courses will show up on my class registration timetable and PandA website?
  The enrollment restricted course will show up on the selected students' class registration timetable on each day of the lotteries. After then, the students can access class materials and class notification emails on KULASIS. The data connection between KULASIS and PandA is done every night. PandA course site of the enrollment restricted courses will be available in the next working day's morning of the lotteries as long as the instructor created the course site on PandA.
  This also applies to the course applied at the first come, first served application phase. A student who was enrolled in a course, can access the class support features on KULASIS immediately, and PandA site will be available on the next working day.
  
  KULASIS website becomes available earlier so that the instructors are asked to contact students via KULASIS until the class registration is confirmed.
• 2022 . How is it treated if I earned credits in E-Class?
  (For students enrolled in 2016 and thereafter)It is counted as credit of its groups and is treated as credit in E-Class at the same time.
  Ex.: You earn 2 credits in E-Class of Humanities and Social Sciences group on the condition that your required credit for graduation in Humanities and Social Sciences group are 16, and 60 in total in liberal arts and sciences courses, and you are also required to include more than 4 credits in E-Class in the total. 2 credits you earned in E-Class are counted like below.
  Humanities and Social Sciences Group: 2/16 credits
  Total credits in Liberal Arts and Sciences Courses: 2/60 (E-Class: 2/4 credits among them)
  However; please confirm how many credits you need to acquire for graduation in liberal arts and sciences courses because your faculty may designate the category or group of E-Class registration.
  
  (For students enrolled between 2013 and 2015) The credits are treated as the transferring table of the course groups explains.
• 2023 . Can a graduate student take an E-class?
  Graduate students may register for E2 and E3 courses.When graduate students register for Academic Discussion or Academic Presentation, however, please make sure to register for the courses offered in Common Graduate Courses Group. (The courses have the codes beginning with G and the titles not labeled [(All Faculties, English)-E3].)
  Furthermore, please note that graduate students may not enroll in the courses labeled [(All Faculties, English)-E1] among E1 courses.
• 2024 . By when should I earn credits in E-Class?
  There is no rule by when you should earn them. Please earn credits of E-Classes by your graduation like other classes. (However, in some faculties, earning credits in E-Classes is a requirement for promotion or affiliation of course/laboratory.)
  Note that E1 and E3 classes generally target 2nd year undergraduate students or above. Regarding E2 courses (except for ILAS seminar-E2), refer to the page “英語教育とE科目について” in the website of ILAS (https://www.z.k.kyoto-u.ac.jp/freshman-guide/english-education).
• 2025 . I'm a 2nd-year undergraduate student. I did not earn any credits of an E1 or E3 course labeled "All Faculties, English" in the first semester. Can I pre-register for two courses in the second semester?
  In principle, a 2nd-year undergraduate student can register for only one E1 or E3 course labeled "All Faculties, English" in a semester in his/her second year. However, in case the student was not able to earn credits of an E1 or E3 course labeled "All Faculties, English" or did not register the course in the first semester, and need to register two "All Faculties, English" E1/E3 courses in the second semester in his/her second year for moving to the next grade or graduation at the end of this semester, he/she can take at most two "All Faculties, English" E1/E3 courses in the second semester in his/her second year. The first course should be applied during the pre-registration periods or a first-come, first-served basis application periods. The second course ? if he/she applies in both the periods but is not selected, both courses ? can be arranged at the Liberal Arts and Sciences Student Desk with submission of required documents by a prescribed date.
