The principles regarding measurement and evaluation methods, exam types, and their contribution to the course success grade are determined by the Senate in accordance with the fundamental principles set by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK).

Students are subject to a midterm exam, in-term coursework (such as projects, seminars, quizzes, assignments, or a secondary midterm exam), and a final exam for each course. All exams are graded on a scale of 100 points. A minimum score of 45 points is required in the final exam. Students who receive one of the letter grades (AA), (BA), (BB), (CB), or (CC) are considered to have passed the course.

At the end of each semester, students may take a make-up exam for a maximum of two courses from that semester.

The application methods and dates for in-term coursework are announced at the beginning of the semester and included in the course syllabi.

Students who successfully complete all courses in the program (equivalent to a total of 240 ECTS credits), achieve a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.0 out of 4.00, successfully complete the graduation project, and pass the professional internship along with the internship report are eligible to graduate with the title of Forest Industry Engineer.

To Ensure the Quality of Higher Education Programs:

YÖK is responsible for the planning, regulation, management, and supervision of education, training, and other activities conducted in higher education institutions.

Each year, "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" are published by YÖK based on the criteria set by the council. These reports include both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions and are shared with the public.

Additionally, YÖK publishes the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report" annually, which contains academic, administrative, and financial data of foundation higher education institutions. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations, are also shared with the public.

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

1. Development and Approval of Curricula:
   1. YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the establishment of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.
   2. The curriculum of undergraduate programs and the learning outcomes that each program will provide to students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions, in accordance with the fundamental principles set by YÖK.
   3. The curriculum of National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions after being approved by YÖK following acceptance by the relevant Deans' Council.
2. Measurement and Evaluation:

The methods for measuring and evaluating the learning outcomes of each undergraduate program are carried out in accordance with the education, training, and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions based on the fundamental principles set by YÖK.

3. Certification:

Students enrolled in undergraduate programs receive a bachelor’s degree diploma upon successful completion of the required course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions.

4. Self-Evaluation and External Evaluation:

Higher education institutions submit their "Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports" from the previous year to the Information System prepared by the Higher

Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year as part of continuous monitoring.

YÖKAK publishes the "Institutional Feedback Report" on the external evaluation of higher education institutions and shares it with the public. Additionally, accreditation decisions made by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK confirm that programs meet quality assurance requirements. In compliance with YÖKAK regulations, regular review activities are conducted to ensure qualifications.

The accreditation of the Forest Industry Engineering program is conducted by the Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Programs (MÜDEK). Furthermore, External Stakeholder Meetings are held annually to gather feedback, which is considered in improvement processes.
