For each course taken by the students, one of the following letter grades is assigned by the instructor as the final course grade. The point equivalents and coefficients of the letter grades are given in the table below:

A+: It refers to the letter grade given to students who show outstanding success in a course and shown on the student status document (transcript). Among the courses a student takes in a semester/year, courses with a grade of (C3) 2.00 and above are considered successful, and courses with (F1), (F2), (F3) and (F4) are considered unsuccessful. Students who successfully complete all the courses of the program they are enrolled in and have a cumulative grade point average (C3) of 2.00 and above are entitled to receive a diploma. F3: Did not take the final exam even though he/she had the right to take the final exam, failed. F4: No right to take the final exam and make-up exam due to absenteeism, unsuccessful. F1, F2, F3, F4 grades are added to the average according to their respective coefficients in the calculation of grade point averages.

To ensure the quality of higher education programs:

The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for the planning, organization, management, and supervision of education, training, and other activities in higher education institutions.

"University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" prepared for higher education institutions based on criteria determined by YÖK are published annually. Reports containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions, prepared in line with these reports, are also shared with the public by YÖK.

Quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured according to the "Procedures and Principles for Quality Assurance of Higher Education Degree Programs."

1. Development and Approval of Curricula:

YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for establishing undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

1.1. The curriculum of undergraduate programs and the learning outcomes that each program is expected to provide to students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the fundamental principles set by YÖK.

1.2. National Core Education Program curricula, once approved by the relevant Deans' Council, are implemented by higher education institutions with YÖK's approval.

2. Assessment and Evaluation:

The methods for assessing and evaluating the learning outcomes of each undergraduate program are carried out according to the teaching and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in line with the fundamental principles set by YÖK.

3. Certification:

Students enrolled in undergraduate programs receive a bachelor's degree diploma upon successfully completing the course credits and other requirements determined by the higher education institutions.

4. Self-Evaluation and External Evaluation:

In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions enter their "Institutional Self-Evaluation Reports" for the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK shares the "Institutional Feedback Report" prepared for the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public.

Additionally, accreditation decisions made by accreditation agencies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK demonstrate that the programs meet quality assurance standards. YÖKAK conducts regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined under its legislation.

5. Engineering Education Programs Evaluation and Accreditation Association (MÜDEK)

Accreditation Start/End Date: 1.07.2023 - 30.09.2025

1. To have graduated from secondary education institutions or foreign secondary education institutions whose equivalence is approved by the Ministry of National Education and to have met the conditions for admission to undergraduate programs of higher education institutions.

2. Being placed in the relevant undergraduate program of the higher education institution as a result of the central examination conducted by the Measurement, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), the procedures and principles of which are determined by YÖK.

4. As a result of the Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS) conducted by ÖSYM, the procedures and principles of which are determined by YÖK, associate degree graduates are placed in undergraduate programs that are a continuation of the fields they have completed in higher education institutions.

1. Those who have a bachelor's degree can continue with master's programs and, if they meet the relevant conditions, doctoral and art proficiency programs accepted with a bachelor's degree.

2. Undergraduate students have the right to participate in double major programs opened by the higher education institutions where they study. Students enrolled in double major programs can take courses from two diploma programs simultaneously and, if successful, receive two separate undergraduate diplomas.
