• Exams are measured out of 100 points. Midterm and final exam results of a course are shown with numerical scores. The score for exams that the student does not take is zero.

• Raw success score is calculated by adding 40% of the average score of midterm exams to 60% of the term or year-end exam score in units that provide education on the basis of course passing. In units that provide education on the basis of grade/year passing, the contribution to midterm and term or year-end exams is determined by the decision of the unit's board of directors and the approval of the Senate. This rate can be at most 60% for midterm exams and at least 40% for term or final exams. In calculating the odds, fractions are kept as they are, but in calculating the raw success score, half-half numbers are rounded to the nearest whole number. Exams are given in written form. Upon the request of the department, the relevant committees may decide to conduct the exam as oral, oral-written, portfolio, homework, research, project, interview, performance evaluation, process evaluation and/or presentation such as self/peer/group evaluation. This decision is announced in the information form given to students at the beginning of the semester.
• Raw success grades are determined according to the preferences of the units, using one of the relative grade conversion methods, the principles of which are determined by the Senate, or through the absolute grade conversion tables determined by the units.
• The 4-point system letter grades and grade points used at the university are shown in the table below:

To be successful in a course, the passing grade must be at least CC or higher.
