1. Measurement and evaluation methods, types of exams, and their contribution to the course grade are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the fundamental principles set by the Higher Education Council.
2. Various methods such as assignments, projects, practical work, midterm exams, and final exams are used for measurement and evaluation.
3. In the evaluation of student success, letter and numerical grading systems are used.

There are eight types of examinations: exemption, midterm, semester/year-end, project presentation, make-up, excuse, maximum duration, and single-course exams.

Examinations can be conducted in written, oral, practical formats, or a combination of written and oral, written and practical, or written, oral, and practical formats. The decision regarding the applicable examination formats is made by the relevant academic unit’s administrative board.

In semester/year-end evaluations, one of the DDS, EDS, or BDS methods is used, depending on the regulations applicable to the respective academic unit, the number of students being assessed, and the type of examination.

For a given course, the Raw Success Score (HBP) is calculated by considering the weighted average of the grades obtained from the midterm and, if applicable, other semester/year-long academic activities, along with the final or make-up exam score. The contribution percentage of in-semester/year-long activities and the final or make-up exam to the HBP is determined by the course instructor before the registration week and is announced to students no later than the first week of the semester. The contribution percentage of in-semester/year-long activities is set within the range of 40-60%, while the final or make-up exam contributes within the range of 60-40%. However, if no announcement is made, the default contribution percentage is applied as 40% for in-semester/year-long activities and 60% for the final or make-up exam.

In calculating a student's Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), the letter grades corresponding to all courses taken from the first semester onward are converted into the 4.0 grading scale based on the table below. Each grade is multiplied by the respective ECTS credits of the course, the results are summed, and the total is divided by the sum of all ECTS credits. The final CGPA is expressed to two decimal places.

Raw Success Score (HBP) and Letter Grade Conversion Table

According to the DDS grading method, in order for students to obtain a letter grade classified as “successful” based on their HBP, they must score at least 45 out of 100 in the final exam. Students whose HBP is 60 or above but who fail to meet this final exam threshold are assigned a "DC" letter grade.

Attendance Requirements

Students must attend at least 70% of theoretical courses and at least 80% of applied or practice-based courses. Those who fail to meet this requirement are considered absent and are assigned an "FF" letter grade.

The nature of applied coursework and the success criteria for these courses are determined by the relevant department/program board.

• YÖK also publishes the “Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report”, which contains academic, administrative, and financial data of foundation universities. These reports, containing both quantitative and qualitative evaluations, are shared with the public by YÖK.

Additionally, accreditation decisions made by accreditation agencies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK demonstrate that the programs' qualifications meet the quality assurance standards.
