Examination and Assessment Regulations

Attendance to classes: It is compulsory to attend at least 80% of the classes in all of the degree programs.

Exams and Course Grade: The course grade will be based upon the performance of the student on the midterm exam and the final exam. The weights of the grades received in the midterm and final exams are 0.4 and 0.6 respectively. Properly done homework, project papers and active class participation will be valued in favor of the student.

Passing Course Grades for the courses in the Degree Programs: The curve system which conforms to the European standards is applied only in the undergraduate programs. A letter grade of at least CC is required. A minimum of 50 out of 100 points in the final exam and a minimum course grade of 65 out of 100 points is required in the Master’s Program. A minimum of 50 out of 100 points in the final exam and a minimum course grade of 75 out of 100 points is required in the Doctorate Program.   

Make-up Exams: No make-ups for the final exams. Make-ups for the midterm exams, if ever allowed by the relevant boards, are of greater difficulty because of the greater time given to the student for preparation.

Overall Course Grade for the Degree Programs: It is the weighed average of the course grades. The local credits of the courses are used as the weights.
