Students are granted by the respective instructor one of the following letter grades for each course they are registered for:

Besides, the letter grades below indicate the following:

P: In progress,

E: Semester studies are missing,

V: Withdrawn from the course,

Y: Successful,

Z: Failed.

A student who gets F or Z in a course is deemed to have failed that course. A student who does not take the final exam of a course gets F. A student who takes the final exam but does not complete the required works for a course during the semester gets E. In that case, the student has to complete all required works within ten days following the final exam date of that course. If the student completes the required works within that period, he/she is given the final grade. Otherwise, he/she gets F as final grade. A student who withdraws from a course gets V. If a student registers the University after transferring from, leaving or graduating another higher education institution and requests exemption, those courses which are regarded to be equivalent pursuant to the applicable legislation provisions are graded based on the grade conversions accepted by the Senate.

The academic standing of a student is followed up with the SGPA calculated using the grades earned by the student for the courses taken in the semester completed and the GPA calculated using the grades earned by the student for all courses taken in the education program he/she is registered at. Students with a GPA of 2.00 or higher are considered “successful” students. Successful students can take maximum 16 ECTS credits in addition to the normal course load of the current semester. But compulsory internship is not included in extra course load. Students with a GPA lower than 2.00 are considered as “candidate” (for being successful) students. Candidate students cannot take more courses than the normal course load of the semester they are in, except for internship. If a candidate student makes his/her GPA 2.00 or above, he/she continues to study to become a successful student. Provided that they have not failed any course, students with a GPA of 3.00-3.49 at the end of any academic year are recognized as an honor student, while those with a GPA of 3.50-4.00 are recognized as a high honor student.

To oversee the quality of higher education programs;

• YÖK (The Council of Higher Education) is responsible for planning, organizing, managing and supervising education and training and other activities in higher education institutions.
• “University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports” of higher education institutions prepared within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK are published every year. The reports prepared according to these reports, including quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.
• “Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report” containing academic, administrative and financial data of foundation higher education institutions is published annually by YÖK. 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: YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the opening of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.
   1. The curriculum of undergraduate programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes that each program will provide to the student are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.
   2. The curricula of the National Core Curricula are adopted by the relevant Council of Deans and implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of the Council of Higher Education.
2. Assessment and Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of the learning outcomes of each undergraduate program is carried out according to the teaching 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 a bachelor's 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.

Accreditation Body Name: The Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of University Programs in Mathematical, Natural and Social Sciences (FEDEK).
