The official grade-to-point mapping, how it is applied, and where it comes from.
Reference model only. UTokyo course catalogues show faculty/course-specific grading patterns; the S/A/B/C/F mapping below is illustrative and must not be treated as a universal UTokyo conversion.
Conversion shown: GPA × 25 (illustrative only; not universal)
| Grade | Points | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| S | 4.00 | Excellent (秀) |
| A | 3.00 | Very Good (優) |
| B | 2.00 | Good (良) |
| C | 1.00 | Pass (可) |
| F | 0.00 | Fail (不可) |
| Grade letters | S (秀), A (優), B (良), C (可), F (不可) |
| Pass mark | 60% |
| Main funding route for international students | MEXT scholarship (embassy and university recommendation tracks) |
| CGPA → percentage status | Estimate / normalization only |
Both patterns exist in Japan. Some universities treat S as a distinct top grade worth 4.0 with A at 3.0; others map A to 4.0 and use S purely as an honour marker. Check your faculty handbook (履修要項) before converting.
