• Within the scope of Article 22 of the Bahçeşehir University Associate and Undergraduate Education and Examination Regulation:

  “Except for courses based entirely on projects or practice, each course must include at least one mid-term/within-semester assessment and one end-of-semester/year assessment activity among its evaluation activities. These activities may be exams or, depending on the nature of the course and the desired learning outcomes, projects, case studies, in-class applications, laboratory work, homework, and similar activities.

  When calculating the student’s final grade, the weights of the activities to be used are determined by the instructor at the beginning of the semester, with the contribution of the end-of-semester activity being at least forty percent (40%). These weights are announced through the course syllabus included in the student information system.

  Midterm and final exams may be written, multiple-choice, or combined written and multiple-choice. Written exams (for courses delivered remotely, hybrid, or face-to-face) may be conducted electronically. However, exams of practical or special-structure courses may be oral or assessed through the student’s semester work. The exam method for such courses is determined upon the recommendation of the department/program chair and the decision of the relevant academic board and must be reported to the Rectorate no later than seven weeks after the semester start date.

  The results of exams and all other assessment activities conducted during the semester must be announced to students within a maximum of ten days after they are held. Instructors are obliged to inform students of their in-term grades and attendance results no later than the last week of the teaching period. The student’s final grade for a course is determined based on all semester activities, as announced in the course teaching plan, using the relative evaluation method.”
• Grades and course exemptions ARTICLE 26 – (1) Course success grades are determined by the letters shown in the table below and the corresponding coefficients between 0.00 and 4.00. (Amended table: RG-1/3/2020-31055) Course Success Grade A A- B+ B B- C+ C C- D+ D F NA Coefficient Equivalent 4.00 3.67 3.33 3.00 2.67 2.33 2.00 1.67 1.33 1.00 0.00 0.00 (2) The following letters are used on the student transcript: a) (I) Incomplete: b) (S) Sufficient: c) (U) Insufficient: ç) (PR) Developing: (EX) Exempt: e) (NA) Absent. Students who are absent from a course cannot take the semester/end-of-year exam for that course and cannot benefit from other exam rights granted. The NA grade is treated as a zero coefficient in grade point average calculations. f) (W) Course Withdrawn: This is the grade given for the course from which the withdrawal was made; it has no effect on the grade point average. g) (NI) Course Not Included in the Grade Point Average: This is given for courses taken voluntarily by the student, provided that they are not included in the grade point average. These courses are taken within the scope of the course load defined in Article 18 (Amended phrase: RG-28/3/2021-31437). Courses taken with NI status cannot be repeated and cannot be counted in place of another course.

To oversee the quality of higher education programs;

YÖK is responsible for the planning, organization, management and supervision of education and training and other activities carried out in higher education institutions.

"University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" of higher education institutions prepared annually within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK are published. The reports prepared according to these reports, including quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

Every year, YÖK publishes the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report", which includes academic, administrative and financial data on foundation higher education institutions. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK. Quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured according to the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs":

1. Creation and Approval of Curricula:

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

1.2. The curriculum of undergraduate programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes that each program will provide to students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

1.3. After the curriculum of the National Core Curriculum is accepted by the relevant Council of Deans, it is implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of YÖK.

2. Assessment and Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of the learning outcomes of each undergraduate program is carried out according to the education and training and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs, if they successfully complete the course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions; receive an undergraduate diploma.

4. Self-Assessment-External Evaluation: Higher education institutions, in the context of continuous monitoring, enter the "Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports" of the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Council (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. In addition, accreditation decisions issued by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also indicate that the quality assurance of the qualifications of the programs is ensured. YÖKAK conducts regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined in accordance with the legislation.

Departments also carry out all the necessary work in accordance with the BOLOGNA criteria, EUR-ACE and MÜDEK (Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Programs) accreditation rules. In addition, each student and each course is individually monitored in accordance with the program qualifications and it is proved that each student has gained all the qualifications required by the program.
