(1) In undergraduate education, a student's success in a course is determined using a relative grading system. This evaluation is based on the student's performance during the semester and the grade received in the final exam, while also taking the overall success level of the class into consideration. Relative grading above the minimum raw score set by the relevant departments is conducted by the course instructor, taking into account the distribution of grades and the class average.
(2) A student's performance in a course is determined by the final grade. The meanings of the letter grades are as follows:
a) A student receiving one of the grades (AA), (BA+), (BA), (BB+), (BB), (CB+), (CB), (CC+), or (CC) is considered to have successfully passed the course.
b) A student receiving one of the grades (DC+), (DC), (DD+), or (DD) is considered to have conditionally passed the course.
c) A student receiving an (FF) grade is considered to have failed the course.
ç) A student receiving a (VF) grade is not eligible to take the final exam and is considered to have failed the course.
(3) The meanings of other letters used in addition to the final grade letters are as follows:
a) BL: Passed a non-credit course.
b) BZ: Failed a non-credit course.
c) T: Indicates that the student has withdrawn from a course within the time frame specified in the second and third paragraphs of Article 17 of this Regulation.
ç) E: Assigned to a student who could not complete their project, graduation design project, final assignment, or similar work within the specified period. The instructor determines when the work should be completed. A student who fails to complete the work within the specified time will be given an FF grade.

To ensure the quality of higher education programs:
• The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for planning, organizing, managing, and supervising education, training, and other activities in higher education institutions.
• "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" for higher education institutions, prepared according to criteria set by YÖK, are published annually. Reports containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions based on these monitoring and evaluation results are also shared with the public by YÖK.
• YÖK publishes an annual "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report," which includes academic, administrative, and financial data for foundation higher education institutions. These reports, containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations, are also shared with the public by YÖK.
The quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured in accordance with the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring Quality Assurance in Higher Education Diploma Programs":
1. Creation and Approval of Academic Programs: YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required to establish undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.
1.1. The curriculum of undergraduate programs and the learning outcomes to be achieved by students in each program are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in line with the fundamental principles established by YÖK.
1.2. The curricula of National Core Education Programs are implemented by higher education institutions following approval by YÖK after being accepted by the relevant Deans' Council.
2. Assessment and Evaluation: The methods for assessing and evaluating the learning outcomes of each undergraduate program are carried out in accordance with the teaching and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions based on the fundamental principles established by YÖK.
3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs are awarded a bachelor's degree upon successfully completing the course credits and other requirements set by higher education institutions.
4. Self-Assessment and External Evaluation: In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions upload their "Institutional Self-Evaluation Reports" for 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" related to the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public. Additionally, accreditation decisions made by accreditation agencies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK indicate that the quality assurance of the programs’ competencies is ensured.

YÖKAK conducts regular reviews of qualifications as required by its regulations. Accreditation Agency: Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
