The academic year at DHU begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. The academic year is divided into two semesters: Spring and Fall. Each semester lasts approximately fifteen weeks. Courses are counted as two or four credits and a class is 90 minutes. You will need to enroll at least ten credits up to sixteen credits per semester excluding Japanese language courses. You are able to enroll up to two practical courses per semester.
