According to lesson contents, students will be evaluated with 1 mid term, projects, end-of-semester projects and final exams.Student must successfully complete all of the courses in the four-year program, in order to graduate. This degree is given to students who pass all courses in the curriculum, successfully complete a minimum of 240 ECTS credits and obtain an overall grade point average of at least 2.00 / 4.00. 

Midterm and final (or make-up) exams are graded out of 100 points. The raw success score is calculated by taking 40% of the midterm exam grade and 60% of the final or make-up exam grade. The final course grade is then determined using a relative grading system, which takes into account the raw success score along with the overall academic performance of the class, grade distribution, and class average. Based on this evaluation, the instructor assigns one of the letter grades listed below, regardless of the numerical score ranges specified in the first column of the table. Students who fail to attend the final or make-up examination are automatically assigned an FF grade. The principles governing the relative grading system are determined by the University Senate.

Absolute Grading Scale for Undergraduate Programs

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

Within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK, the “University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports” for higher education institutions are prepared and published annually. Based on these reports, quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions are also shared with the public by YÖK.

Every year, YÖK publishes the “Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report,” which includes academic, administrative, and financial data of foundation higher education institutions. These reports, which contain quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are also made public by YÖK.

The quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured in accordance with the “Procedures and Principles for Ensuring the Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs”:

1. Design and Approval of Academic Programs
   1.1. YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the establishment of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.
   1.2. The curricula of undergraduate programs and the learning outcomes to be gained by students in each program are determined by the senates of higher education institutions, in line with the basic principles established by YÖK.
   1.3. The curricula of National Core Education Programs, once approved by the relevant Deans’ Council, are implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of YÖK.

2. Assessment and Evaluation
   The assessment and evaluation of the learning outcomes to be achieved by students in each undergraduate program are carried out in accordance with the regulations on education, training, and examinations prepared by higher education institutions, based on the fundamental principles established by YÖK.

3. Certification
   Students enrolled in undergraduate programs receive a bachelor’s degree diploma upon successfully completing the required course credits and other obligations set by the higher education institutions.

4. Self-Evaluation and External Evaluation
   In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions enter the “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 publishes the “Institutional Feedback Report” regarding the external evaluation of higher education institutions to the public. In addition, accreditation decisions made by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK demonstrate that the quality assurance of program qualifications has been achieved. YÖKAK also conducts regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined by its regulations.

The TS EN ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System (QMS) criteria are applied.
