Examination Assessments are carried out in accordance with the Muş Alparslan University Undergraduate Education, Instruction and Examination Regulations.

A student’s success in a course is determined by the relative evaluation system. The statistical distribution is determined by the Senate within the framework of the principles set for semester/year-end and resit examinations. Exams are evaluated out of 100 points. The final grade of a course is calculated by taking 40% of the midterm/semester work grade and 60% of the final exam grade. If the final exam grade is below 50, students are considered unsuccessful in that course regardless of the class average and receive an “FF” grade. The course success grade and its corresponding coefficient are defined as shown in the table below:

According to the table above:

1. A student who receives one of the grades AA, BA, BB, CB, or CC is considered unconditionally successful in that course.
2. The grades DC and DD indicate that the course has been conditionally passed.
3. FD and FF indicate failed courses.
4. The grade DZ indicates courses in which the attendance requirement defined in Article 15 of this Regulation has not been fulfilled, and are considered failed.
5. The grade GR is given for courses in which the student did not take the semester/year-end or resit examination.
6. DZ and GR are treated the same as FF and are included in the calculation of both GPA (Grade Point Average) and CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average).
7. The grade MU is given for courses in which the student has been exempted.
8. Conversion of grades between the 4.00 grading scale and the 100-point grading scale is carried out in accordance with the principles determined by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK).

To ensure the quality of higher education programs,

• The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for planning, organizing, managing, and supervising the education, training, and other activities conducted at higher education institutions.
• The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) publishes "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" for higher education institutions annually, prepared within the framework of criteria determined by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK). Reports containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions, prepared based on these reports, are shared with the public by the Council of Higher Education.
• The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) publishes the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report" annually, which contains academic, administrative, and financial data for foundation higher education institutions. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by the Council of Higher Education.

Quality assurance for undergraduate programs in higher education is provided in accordance with the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs":

1.3. The curricula of the National Core Curriculum are approved by the relevant Deans' Council and implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of YÖK.

2.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs receive a bachelor's degree upon successfully completing the course credits and other requirements determined by the higher education institutions.

4. Self-Assessment-External Evaluation: As part of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions enter the previous year's "Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports" into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (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. Furthermore, accreditation decisions made by accreditation institutions authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also demonstrate that quality assurance is provided for program qualifications. YÖKAK conducts regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined in accordance with its regulations.

Quality Assurance Quality assurance encompasses internal and external quality assurance processes, quality assurance criteria, as well as input, process, and output elements related to the achievement of learning outcomes, alongside assessment, evaluation, and certification activities. In this context, the Department carries out its quality assurance activities as outlined below:

Program Monitoring and Evaluation: The educational activities of the program are regularly monitored at the end of each semester through course evaluation surveys and faculty feedback.
