Course Selection & Enrollment

• To find information on program courses, go to the "Study" tab on the KCJS program page. 
• Take Japanese language classes in the morning (2nd, 3rd, or 4th year levels), along with area studies classes in English offered through the KCJS Center in the afternoon. You may substitute one KCJS course for a course offered through the AKP program also based at Doshisha University.
• For assistance in selecting courses, see your faculty or college advisor. (Note: You may earn elective, distributional, minor or major credit depending on your major and college.)
• You may need to look at courses from a previous semester (i.e.: the most recent spring semester if you want to select classes for a future spring abroad) 

Course Load & Credits

• Three courses (8 credits of Japanese along with two 4-credit electives)
• Decisions on the final allocation of credit are made upon successful completion of the course (must earn grade equivalent of a “C” or higher—all courses must award a letter grade).
• For more information on courses and credits from abroad, including policies regarding start/end dates, refer to the Academic Policies page on the Education Abroad website. 

Transcript & Grades

• Grades will appear on the Cornell transcript in the same format as they are recorded on the original transcript generated by the host institution. Grades are not factored into the Cornell GPA.
• For information on how grades appear on the transcript and frequently asked questions, including transcript dates for graduating seniors, please refer to the Transcripts and Credits page on the Education Abroad website.
• Your program will send your transcript to the Education Abroad Office.
