The assessment 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 basic principles set by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK). Various methods such as participation, assignments, projects, applications, midterm exams, and final exams are used in assessment and evaluation. In evaluating student success, grades are calculated taking into account all students present in the class, and systems based on letters or grades are used. The Izmir University of Economics Associate and Undergraduate Education-Teaching and Examination Regulation Article 24 given below is applied in assessment and evaluation.

ARTICLE 24 – (1) The grading criteria, such as semester and end of semester exams, assignments, applications, and etc.to be taken into consideration in determining the success of the course, and their percentages are determined by the faculty members/lecturers that teach the courses.  The grading criteria and their percentages are announced to the students on the University web page for ECTS Catalogue.

(2) Students’ success for any course is determined by the instructor that teaches the course with a letter grade by taking the grading criteria into consideration. In the appraisal of the letter grade, students’ performance in the mid-term, end of semester exam, and semester studies, and his/her attendance to courses and applications are taken into consideration.

(3) The grades that are not included in the averages are specified below:

a) Grade of S (Satisfactory) is given to students who are successful in non-credited courses.

b) Grade of U (Unsatisfactory) is given to students who are unsuccessful in non-credited courses.

c) Grade of EX (Exempt), is given to students who are exempt from some of the courses in the curriculum.

ç) Grade of I (Incomplete), is given to students who are not able to meet all the course requirements at the end of the semester or summer school due to a valid justification accepted by the instructor. Students who receive a letter grade “I” must complete their missing course requirements and receive a letter grade within one week following the date the end of semester or summer school grades submitted.  However, in the event of special cases, this period can be extended until two weeks before the beginning of registration for the next semester, upon the recommendation of the respective department head and the decision of the respective administrative board. Otherwise, grade of “I” will automatically become grade of “FF” or grade of “U”.

(Add OG-14/7/2017- 30124) Student can withdraw on the dates specified in the academic calendar. A student is not allowed to withdraw from compulsory courses, courses taken to increase the grades, courses he/she has to repeat, and received grade “W” before, which are not included in the grade average, during the first two semesters of his/ her associate/undergraduate degree program. Freshmen of undergraduate programs can only withdraw from general education courses that may be considered as elective courses in their instruction plans. A student is allowed to withdraw from one course, including double major, minor, or certificate program courses, at the most in one semester, and two courses at the most during his/ her associate degree study, and six courses during his/her undergraduate study upon the recommendation of the advisor and the permission of the instructor that teaches the course. In accordance with the protocols made between Izmir University of Economics and educational institutions or official authorities abroad, the exchange program students studying at Izmir University of Economics may withdraw from courses upon the recommendation of Office of International Relations Directorate and the permission of the instructor.  In this case, the rules concerning the grade of “W” will not be applied to these students.

e) (Add OG 28.08.2013/28749) Grade of NI (Not included) is issued to identify the courses taken by the student which are not included in the GPA of the student. This grade is reported in the students’ transcripts with the respective letter grade. Such courses are not counted as the courses in the program that the student is registered to.

f) (Add OG 22.01.2014/28890)  Grade of P (Successful Progress) is given to students, who continue to the courses that are not included in the GPA that has a period exceeding one semester, and regularly performs the academic studies for the respective semester.

For the preservation of the quality of higher education programs:

YÖK (Council of Higher Education) is responsible for the planning, organization, management, and supervision of education, teaching, and other activities carried out in higher education institutions.

"University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" belonging to higher education institutions are published annually in accordance with the criteria determined by YÖK. These reports, containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations for higher education institutions prepared based on these reports, are shared with the public by YÖK.

"Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report" containing academic, administrative, and financial data for foundation higher education institutions is published annually by YÖK. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations for foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

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

1. Formation and Approval of Educational Programs:

   1.1 YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for opening undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

   1.2 The curriculum of undergraduate programs in higher education institutions and what learning outcomes each program will provide to the students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles set by YÖK.

   1.3 After the curriculum of  National Core Education Programs is accepted by the relevant Council of Deans, it is implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of YÖK.

2. Measurement-Evaluation: How the measurement and evaluation of learning outcomes to be achieved by each undergraduate program will be conducted is carried out by higher education institutions according to the education, teaching, and examination regulations prepared in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK.

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

4. Self-Assessment-External Evaluation: Higher education institutions enter "Institutional Self-Assessment Reports" for the previous year prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK) into the Information System at the beginning of each year within the context of continuous monitoring. YÖKAK shares the "Institutional Feedback Report" prepared for the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public. Additionally, accreditation decisions given by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also indicate that the quality assurance of programs has been ensured. YÖKAK conducts regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined by legislation.

In order to study in an associate (2-year, short cycle) or undergraduate program (4-year, first cycle) in a higher education institution in Turkey, students have to take a university entrance exam administered by Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) and the students are placed by the same exam administering center (ÖSYM) to the universities according to the score they get from this examination. Foreign nationals, who graduated from schools that are equivalent to secondary education (high school) institutions in Turkey and meet the requirements specified by the University, can apply for foreign student quota to study at undergraduate (4-year) programs offered at Izmir University of Economics.

Engineers have always strived to propose practical and applicable solutions to real-life problems. Design is a crucial step in engineering. Aerospace engineers collaborate with other engineers during the design phase of new aerospace vehicles. The design phase is followed by production, testing, system integration, assembly, operation, and maintenance. Students shape their areas of study with the elective courses they choose.
