Regarding Enrollment and Graduation

Calculations are based on the “6-3-3-4 system” as defined by the School Education Act.


  • Calculations are based on 3 years for high school, 2 years for junior college, and 4 years (6 years can also be specified) for university.

  • Calculations for graduate school are based on 2 years for master’s programs, 3 years for doctoral programs, 5 years for technical colleges, and 2 years for advanced courses.

  • The system also supports transfers from high school to technical college and from technical college to university.

  • Withdrawals are not supported.

  • Children born on April 1 and April 2 belong to different school-year groups because, under the age-counting rule described here, someone born on April 1 reaches the next age at midnight at the end of March 31.
