In order to graduate from our program, 240 credits must be completed. These credits are gained by successfully completing courses some of which are compulsory and some of which are elective.

In our undergraduate program, courses are offered on a semester basis. Each Academic Year has two semesters, Fall and Spring. The usual process for a term is course registration + 14-week course period + final exam period. The dates are announced in the Academic Calendar.

 

Students must attend 70% of the courses. At the end of the semester, absent students are reported to the Dean's Office and they are marked as absent in the system. In case of absence, the student loses the right to take the final exams. On OBISIS, your attendance status for each course is shown as follows: G (attendance required), D (absent – failed due to absenteeism), and M (exempt from attendance).

 

There are compulsory and elective courses. Compulsory courses are the courses that the student must complete in order to graduate. Elective courses are offered in specific packages. The course is completed with the credit specified in the elective course package in the relevant year and term in the education plan. The package credits must be completed, not the course taken in the package.

 

Each semester, students choose the courses they need to take within the time period specified in the academic calendar through OBISIS and send them to their advisors for approval. The OBISIS program shows the required courses in blue, the successful courses in green, and the failed courses in red. The student chooses the courses that are required to be taken in the relevant year according to specific priorities. It is a priority to first take or re-take a course that one has failed before. ue to absenceregistration + 14-n able toThe student, who is enrolled in the courses in his/her semester, can choose a course from the upper grades if appropriate. It is necessary to pay attention to the warnings and directions of the advisors in such cases.

 

The students are informed about the elective courses offered during the semester by the advisors during the course registration period. Among these courses, students choose courses according to their interests and needs.

 

Among the failed elective courses, there may be the ones that are not opened during the course registration week of the following year. In this case, the system shows you the course table that can be taken instead. It is important to take courses from the relevant package and year in this table instead of the failed course. If you are unsure, do not hesitate to ask your advisor.

Do not forget that your advisors may send you messages during the course registration and add/drop weeks and that there may be errors in your course registration or changes may be required; therefore, do not forget to check the relevant messages at regular intervals. Keep in mind that changes may still be required after your course registration has been approved.

 

Your advisors are the people who will guide you about your education life. They guide and advise you about the courses take. They are the people you should contact for the problems you may encounter outside of course registration. They also provide the communication between the head of the department and the students.

 

Each of the instructors working in our faculty arranges consultation hours for the students on a specific day and time of the week. These hours are for taking opinions on any subject or to share your problems, apart from consultancy. Consultation hours are stated in the programs or course syllabuses on the office doors. Do not hesitate to ask questions via e-mail if necessary.

 

Exams are an indispensable part of evaluation process. The common form of exams is to have a mid-term exam and a final exam. However, some courses can be evaluated in different forms such as assignments, projects, presentations. You will be notified of the form of assessment at the beginning of the semester. Your attendance is important here. Pay attention to how the assessment will be carried out, especially in the courses that you failed in the previous semesters and that you have no attendance obligation. Keep in mind that being aware of the requirements is under your responsibility. The dates of the mid-term exams are decided and announced by the Administrative Board of the Faculty. Although 8^th and 9^th weeks are usually reserved for exams, this situation may vary considering the special circumstances and public holidays in that year. In the exam week, courses may be suspended, or courses and exams are carried out together.

At the end of the spring semester, the departments decide on whether the courses will be opened in the summer school or on which courses they will be if they are to be opened, and these decisions are announced in the relevant places. Students who want to take courses may be asked to make pre-application. According to the number of applications, whether to open a course or not is determined and announced.

Regarding taking courses from other universities, first of all, the list of universities that your department approves is examined. A protocol showing the course to be taken from approved universities and the course corresponding to the course to be taken in your department is prepared by your department. This document is required to ensure your adjustment if you are successful in the course at the other university. If you are successful in the courses that you have received, you must come to our university and initiate the adjustment process.

In the case of the detection of negative behaviors specified in the disciplinary regulations, disciplinary proceeding will be opened according to the provisions of the relevant regulation.
