Understanding かかわってくる


> 「進級するにあたっては、一般教養の単位も必要だが、各学科の個別課題の提出率も大きく **かかわってくる** 」

I understand that the speaker is saying the 提出率 matters a great deal when it
comes to 進級. But why is there a くる added to 関わる? Does the くる mean something?
Can we just use 関わる in this sentence?




This is an example of -てくる used to describe something that _psychologically_
comes towards you. 関わってくる typically refers to something that becomes more and
more important over time, but here it refers to something that may not seem
important at first but will turn out to be important later. One of the ways to
translate this 関わってくる would be "to _come_ into play".
