PRINCIPLES REGARDING THE GRADUATION EXAM
(Approved by Senate Resolution No. 2013/03-26 dated February 7, 2013.)
- To be eligible to take the graduation exam, students must have met the requirements to take the final exam for the relevant course. Students who are unable to take the graduation exams will not be granted the right to a make-up exam for this exam.
- If a student has previously taken the course consistently in a specific language (Turkish if the course was taken in Turkish, or English if taken in English), the system automatically records the course language during the application process. However, if the course was taken in different languages during different semesters, the student must select the language of the course for the graduation exam through the system during the application process. A student enrolled in a program where instruction is provided entirely or partially in a foreign language may, in order to fulfill the foreign language credit requirement necessary for graduation, may take the Social Elective/University Social Elective course(s) in Turkish and, provided they do not fail with an F0 grade, may select the language of these courses as the foreign language of their program for the graduation exam. (Amended by Senate Decision No. 08-12 dated September 12, 2024.)
- For students with no more than two courses remaining until graduation, a graduation exam will be administered on the dates specified in the academic calendar to address failed courses and foreign language credit deficiencies, excluding the courses listed in Article 2 (such as Vocational Training in Businesses, Internship, and Capstone Project, etc. ) to address failed courses and foreign language credit deficiencies. (Amended by Senate Decision No. 08-12 dated September 12, 2024.)
- To pass the graduation exam, students must earn a grade of at least CC. The grade received on the exam replaces the course grade for that course. Midterm exams and in-semester assignments are not included in the evaluation.
- Grades of DC or lower received on the graduation exam will not be considered. Therefore, the student’s grade for the relevant course will remain as it was prior to taking the graduation exam.
- Students who have never taken a particular course, or who have received an F0 grade in any course—even if they have taken it before—are not eligible to take the graduation exam for any course.
- After applications are received, applications from students that do not comply with the Graduation Exam Regulations will not be considered; if such students take the exam by mistake, their exam results will be deemed invalid.
- Students with a weighted cumulative GPA (AGNO) of 2.00 or higher may take the exam only for the courses in which they have failed.
- Students with a weighted cumulative GPA (WCGPA) below 2.00 may take the exam only in courses they have passed conditionally. Since a student may take exams for a maximum of two courses, the total number of failed courses and conditionally passed courses they select cannot exceed two. To register for the exam of a conditionally passed course, a student must first register for the corresponding failed course, if applicable.
- For the semester in which they will take the graduation exam, students who have not selected any courses but intend to take the graduation exam must pay the tuition fee for the semester in which they will take the exam. (Added by Senate Decision No. 01-06 dated April 16, 2015.)
We wish you success.
