First of all, please consult with a coordinator of the language.

Most of Other Foreign Language courses are conducted in Japanese. (Refer to the syllabus Search: https://www.wsl.waseda.jp/syllabus/JAA101.php?pLng=en) If you are unsure about your Japanese skill, it might be better to register for “Direct Method” courses, in which the class is conducted in the language of the course.

You cannot take any courses which conflict with the automatically registered courses.

Yes, you can. Credits that exceed the required number for graduation will be calculated as Electives. However, the grades will not be shown under the Electives column on a grade report page on MyWaseda. You cannot exceed the number of credits required for graduation for seminar courses, so please be careful.

If you register more than the maximum number of credits allowed, excess credits will be cancelled automatically at random by the computer to keep the credit limit. For example, if you register for 23 credits even though the maximum number is 21 credits, the excess 2 credits or, even 4 credits will be automatically cancelled.

Although those courses are not required courses for students who entered after 2009, in order to change the curriculum you must go through the correct procedures at the SILS office.
