(1) The evaluation of a course is calculated by considering the weight of midterm exams, in-term activities, and final exam grades in determining the final grade. Either the Direct Evaluation System (DES) or the Relative Evaluation System (RES) is applied to calculate the final grade. The evaluation method and the weight of the activities specified in the course syllabus on the final grade are indicated in the course outline and are announced to students by the course instructor at the beginning of the academic term.

(2) The impact of the midterm exam and in-term activities on the success grade is 60%, while the impact of the final exam on the success grade is 40%. For practical courses such as laboratory, workshop, project, design, and graduation project that do not require a midterm and/or final exam, the final success grade is given as the final letter grade based on the student's in-term activities. In cases of global pandemics, disasters, and crises, during periods of distance learning, success evaluation is carried out in accordance with the decisions of YÖK and the Senate.

(3) A course's success grade is converted into a letter grade and success coefficient according to the principles determined by the Senate, as shown in the table below:

(4) The principles regarding the letter grades for success and other letter grades are as follows:

a) AA, BA, BB, CB, CC, DC, DD, and S are passing letter grades. However, in order to graduate, a student must have a GPA of at least 2.00.

b) FF, NA, and U are failing letter grades.

c) NA: Given when the attendance requirement for the course is not met. A student who receives an NA is considered to have failed the course, and this course is processed as an FF.

ç) S: Given for courses that are passed by the competency and exemption exam results or for courses that are successful but do not contribute to the GPA. The S grade counts towards the total ECTS credits but does not contribute to the GPA.

d) U: Given for courses that are failed by the competency and exemption exam results or for unsuccessful courses that do not count towards the GPA.

e) M: Given for courses taken during previous higher education studies where the student was successful and received S, G, or M grades. When the student's grades cannot be converted according to the YÖK grade conversion table and the University’s grading system, the M grade is counted toward the total ECTS credits but does not contribute to the GPA.

f) I: Given to students who, due to illness or another valid reason, were unable to complete some required coursework for a course despite being successful. A student who receives an I grade must complete the missing work within fifteen days after the final exam date for the course. Otherwise, the I grade will automatically convert to an FF grade. However, the above-mentioned period may be extended by the decision of the relevant administrative board.

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, teaching, and other activities carried out in higher education institutions. Based on the criteria determined by YÖK, "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" are prepared and published annually for higher education institutions. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

YÖK also publishes the "Private Higher Education Institutions Report" every year, which contains academic, administrative, and financial data about private higher education institutions. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of private institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

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

1. Creation and Approval of Curriculum:
   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 curriculum of undergraduate programs and the learning outcomes each program will provide to students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions, in line with the basic principles set by YÖK.
   1.3. The curriculum of the National Core Education Programs, after being accepted by the relevant Dean’s Council, is implemented by higher education institutions with YÖK’s approval.
2. Assessment and Evaluation:
   The assessment and evaluation of the learning outcomes that each undergraduate program aims to provide to students are carried out in accordance with the basic principles established by YÖK, as outlined in the teaching, education, and exam regulations prepared by higher education institutions.
3. Certification:
   Students who successfully complete the required courses and other obligations determined by higher education institutions are awarded an undergraduate diploma.
4. Self-Evaluation-External Evaluation:
   In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions submit their "Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports" for the previous year to the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK shares the "Institutional Feedback Report" regarding the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public. Additionally, accreditation decisions made by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also demonstrate that the programs' qualifications are ensured through quality assurance. Regular review activities regarding the established qualifications, as required by YÖKAK regulations, are also conducted.

Accrediting Body:
Engineering Education Programs Evaluation and Accreditation Association (MÜDEK)

Start/End Date:01.02.2020/30.09.2026

Students who achieve the minimum score required for the Civil Engineering Department based on the YÖK central placement exam results and students who successfully pass the YÖS (Foreign National Student Exam) are eligible to enroll in the Civil Engineering Department at Altınbaş University, Istanbul.

Civil engineering is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering, and civil engineers can find employment both in the construction field and in various other sectors. Some of the prominent areas include:

• Design
• Construction site management
• Structural supervision
• Project coordination
• Expert witness
• Consulting
• Contracting
• Finance
• Construction management
• Occupational safety
• Risk assessment
• Real estate development

There is already a demand for civil engineers both in our country and abroad. Furthermore, as the above-mentioned fields of work continue to develop, we believe this demand will grow both domestically and internationally.
