For Course Instructors, Academic Advisors and Administrative Staff

1. NUPACE Student Course Registration

NUPACE students attend an academic orientation at the beginning of each semester. The Autumn Semester 2024 orientation falls on Wednesday, September 25.
From October 2, students start attending classes to decide courses they wish to register for. The procedures that students will follow before attending the first class will depend on the course’s language of instruction. Where students ask for enrolment permission, it would be appreciated if you could consider their request and provide information about attending the first class.

A. Courses taught in English
Students should refer to the ‘NUPACE Course List’.

<Courses listed in the NUPACE Course List>
1. For courses requiring registration on TACT (TOKAI Academic Combination Tools) prior to the first class, students must contact the instructor via email to request to be added manually to the system.

2. For courses that require the instructor's permission in advance, students must contact the instructor via email to obtain permission to enrol. Once granted, students attend the first class.

3. Where none of the above is required, students may directly attend the first class without contacting the instructor in advance.

<Courses which are NOT listed in the ‘NUPACE Course List’>
In principle, NUPACE students should only register for courses that are listed in the course list. Exceptions can be made where students encounter difficulties in finding courses in their major for credit transfer, and the student should take the following steps:
1. Consult with their academic advisor to obtain advice on potential courses to enrol in.
2. Inform a NUPACE faculty member of the details of the course(s) the student wish to enrol with the reason for this.
3. The NUPACE faculty member will convey this information to the Student Exchange Division, which will then proceed to lodge a formal enquiry with the administrative staff of the relevant School.
4. After confirming the enrolment, the administrative staff of the relevant School will contact the Student Exchange Division with an answer.
5. The Student Exchange Division contact the student.


B. Courses Taught in Japanese (Students possessing N1 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT)
Students should search for courses in the University-wide Syllabus System, and contact each course instructor to ask for permission to enrol. Once obtained, students attend the first class.

2. Registering NUPACE Students on TACT
