UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION AND EXAM REGULATION

IMPORTANT ITEMS

1. Those whose excuses are deemed valid by the University Administrative Board upon the applications of students who do not register due to their excuses, do not pay late registration fee.

2. Students who do not renew their academic registrations become unregistered students and cannot take classes and exams during their unregistered periods, and cannot benefit from their student rights.

3. Course load is the total credits of the courses taken by a student in any semester. A maximum of 2 courses can be taken on top of the prescribed course load in a semester (the credits of 2 courses are not important). Only double major (DMP) and graduate students (those who achieve 60% of the entire curriculum; for example 80/133 credits) can take additional courses upon the decision of the faculty board of directors.
The credits of the ISLT/BBA 222 Entrepreneurship Applications (2-0)2 course and the courses taken within the scope of the KYP 001 program, which will be opened every semester, will not be added to the total course load credit in the semester. Students will be able to take this course in any semester they wish, regardless of the credit load constraint.
The student must first take the VF, FF courses that he failed. In case of repetition of the course, the student who gets an FF grade is required to attend; A maximum of one hour of overlap is allowed in the weekly syllabus. Students with a grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 and above who have no failed courses from the lower semesters can take 1 course from the upper semesters.

4. In the courses registered for the first time, if there is a time conflict, even partially, in the weekly course schedule, it is not possible to enroll in that course. Courses with a VF grade are considered to be taken for the first time.

5. The rules regarding taking a repeated course overlapping with another course are determined by the decision of the faculty administrative board. (Explanation: In accordance with the Engineering FYK decision, the repeated course is allowed to overlap for a maximum of one (1) hour in the weekly lesson plan.)
Examples:
  • 2 first lessons learned: no overlap is allowed.
  • 1 first lesson and 1 repeated lesson: 1 hour overlap is allowed.
  • 2 repeated lessons: 1 hour of overlap allowed.

6. Students can make changes to the courses they have registered on, on the dates specified in the academic calendar. After the end of this period, which is defined as the add-drop period, it is not possible to register for the courses. (Explanation: ADDING COURSES can be made until the end of the ADD-DROP (ADD-DROP) PERIOD, IF WITHDRAWAL, it can be done until the 7th week.)

7. Students can withdraw from a registered course until the end of the seventh week of the relevant semester with the positive opinion of their advisors and the approval of the relevant administrative board.
a) Except for the first year, it is possible to withdraw from a maximum of four courses in undergraduate programs during the education period.
b) Students cannot withdraw from a single course they are enrolled in.
c) Students can withdraw from the same course only once during their education.
d) In case of withdrawal from the course, no refund will be made.

8. Attendance to all classes is essential. Students who do not attend at least 70% of the theoretical courses and at least 80% of the applied courses are considered absent. A student who cannot meet the minimum attendance requirement for the course is deemed to have failed that course and cannot take the semester-end/end-of-year exams. There is an obligation to continue in the repeating of the courses that are unsuccessful due to absenteeism.

9. The dates and places of midterm and semester/end-of-year exams must be announced at least one week in advance, and the results of the exams must be announced within one week at the latest following the exam period.

10. If the student receives an E grade in any course, the E grades that are not converted to grades within one month from the last announcement date of the final grades specified in the Academic Calendar are automatically recorded as FF.

Students who do not have a failed course but cannot provide the 2.00 grade point average required for graduation are offered a grade raising exam for only one of the courses they have taken before, with the decision of the relevant administrative board, within one month following the final exams.

12. Students who can not achieve a 2.00 GPA even though they get a successful grade in the grade-raising exam can re-take the grade-raising exam from a course they want within one month after the following final exams.

13. Students who have met the requirements for graduation but have only one failed course left and can achieve a minimum average of 2.00 as a result of the single course exam, are given a single course exam within one month following the final exams by the relevant administrative board, provided that they fulfill the conditions of that course.
