It is compulsory to have at least 70% attendance for each graduate course in a semester . Achievement is measured through in term assessment (assignments, midterm exams) and with final exams. Examinations are applied in various ways as written, oral, or both written and oral, and/or practictise. At least one midterm exam is to be given for each course.

Passing grade is calculated by adding the 30% of the average of midterm exam grades to the 70% of the Final or make up exam. In Ph.D. Programs passing grade is at least 75 out of 100 and 2,5 BC out of 4. Success in elective courses, special field courses, seminars and dissertation studies is indicated by using G (passed) or B (succeeded). While calculating average passing grade the courses defined as passed (G), succeeded (B) exempted (M) are not taken in to consideration. Detailed explanations regarding the equivalents of passing grades out of 100 in full mark 4 points system and letter representation system are given in the regulation announced in the website of Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences. To complete compulsory and elective courses successfully; to have a minimum score of 55 from one of the National Foreign Language Exams (ÜDS and KPDS) or to have an equivalent score from international language exams in order to take proficiency exam; to pass the proficiency exam successfully; to complete the Ph.D. dissertation successfully; to publish minimum one article in an international refereed journal or get acceptance for publication before defending the dissertation; and to defend his/her dissertation successfully.
