All GLA students (both Cohort A and Cohort B).

[Policy Statement]

Ritsumeikan University (RU) requires all undergraduate degree candidates to earn at least 124 credits to graduate.

Of those 124 credits, all GLA students (both Cohort A and B) must earn at least 64 RU credits. The remaining 60 credits may be transfer credits from the Australian National University (ANU), earned from other academic programs (such as Study Abroad) with the college’s prior written approval, or earned from other RU courses (usually for Single-Degree students).

Students must earn credits in accordance with the curriculum under which they were admitted into the college. For details, consult with academic advisors.
