Frequently Asked Questions
11 November 2024 Monday

1) Do I need to renew my enrollment each semester? Do I have to renew my enrollment in person?

Continuing students must renew their enrollment at the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters of each academic year, on the dates published in the Academic Calendar, following the instructions in the announcements on the University website. Students who select their courses and pay their tuition fees, if any, within the announced deadlines are automatically registered. After completing the online enrollment renewal process, our students can also contact their advisor on the announced dates to confirm their enrollment information.

2) What is the passing grade for a class/semester? What are the consequences of failing below that grade?

Students are required to take all courses offered during the first two semesters of their program. Beginning in the third semester, our students are required to take courses from the elective pool in addition to the compulsory courses each semester. Students with a GPA below 2.00 may enroll in as many courses (30 ECTS) as they would in a normal semester. Students with a GPA of 2.00 or above may register for 50% more courses (45 ECTS) than the normal semester course load. These GPA thresholds, which determine the credit load a student can take, are valid at the end of each semester.

3) I have a class overlap. Can I take courses from another program?

In the case of a class overlap, if the student is a Regular Education student, he/she can register for the course in the Evening Education; if the student is a Evening Education student, he/she can register for the course in the Regular Education.

4) Is summer school mandatory?

Summer school is designed to allow students to take courses that they took in the fall and spring semesters or courses that they failed; to allow students to take courses to improve their grade point average; to allow students to take courses that they were unable to take in the fall or spring semesters; to allow successful students to take upper semester courses. Attending summer school is the student's choice.

5) How many courses can I enroll in during summer school? Can I take a course that I did not take during the semester?

A maximum of four courses can be enrolled in Summer School. Students may register for courses they did not take or did not pass during the fall and spring semesters.

6) Can I take upper semester courses in the fall, spring, and summer semesters?

Students who have a GPA of 3.00 and above and meet the success requirement may select upper semester courses. The success requirement is that the student has no failed or not taken courses.

7) Can I take courses from another university for the courses that are not offered in the Summer School or that are closed due to lack of enrollment?

A course that is not offered or cannot be enrolled in the University's Summer School can be taken from another university's Summer School if the credit and course content are approved by the relevant department head. Other university students can also benefit from our university's summer school.

8) When can I take the single course exam? When should I apply to take the exam?

At the end of the fall or spring semester, or at the end of summer school if it is in session, students who are unable to graduate because of a single course in which they have received a grade of FF or YZ in any semester, despite having met the attendance requirement for all courses, have the right to take an additional single course examination on the dates specified in the academic calendar. Students who have received a passing grade in all courses but have not achieved the required GPA have the same right. However, students who will not be able to raise their GPA to 2.00 with the grade they will receive as a result of this examination will not be eligible for a single course examination. In order for students who meet the requirements to take the examination to do so, they must submit a written request to the units in which they are enrolled at least five business days prior to the date of the single course examination as specified in the academic calendar.

9) Is attendance mandatory in the fall, spring, and summer semesters?

Students are required to attend 70% of the theoretical courses and 80% of the practical courses during the fall and spring semesters and summer school. Students who do not meet this requirement will receive a grade of DZ (Absent) and will not be eligible to take exams.

10) I was unable to take the midterm/final exam due to my excuse. What do I have to do to make up the exam?

The request for an excuse must be submitted in writing to the Dean's Office of our Faculty within five working days from the beginning of the excuse period, either in person, by fax, or by any other method specified by the University authorities. If the request is made by fax, the original document must be submitted to the Dean's Office within five business days. Requests made after this time will not be considered. However, in the case of medical reports, this period begins on the date of the medical report.
