The success evaluation of a course is calculated by applying either the Direct Assessment System (DAS) or the Relative Assessment System (RAS), taking into account the weightings of the midterm exam, in-semester activities, and final exam grades. The method of success evaluation and the impact ratio of the activities covered in the course syllabus on the final grade are specified in the course outline and announced to students by the course instructor at the beginning of the academic semester. The impact ratio of the midterm exam and in-semester activities on the success grade is 60%, while the impact ratio of the final exam on the success grade is 40%. For practical courses such as laboratories, workshops, projects, design, and capstone projects that do not require a midterm and/or final exam by their nature, the final success grade is given as a final letter grade based on the student's in-semester activities.

Absolute Assessment Table Score Values

A course's success grade is converted into the letter grade and success coefficient listed in the table above according to the principles determined by the Senate. The principles regarding the letter grades for success mentioned above and other letter grades are shown below:

a) **AA, BA, BB, CB, CC, DC, DD, and S** are passing letter grades. However, in order to graduate, a student must have a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 2.00.

b) **FF, NA, and U** are failing letter grades.

c) **NA**: This grade is given when the attendance requirement for the course is not met. A student receiving an NA is considered unsuccessful in that course, and it will be processed as an FF grade.

ç) **S**: This grade is awarded for courses passed as a result of competency and exemption exams, as well as for courses that do not count towards the GPA. The S grade counts towards the total ECTS credits but does not contribute to the CGPA calculation.

d) **U**: This grade is given for courses failed as a result of competency and exemption exams, as well as for courses that do not count towards the GPA.

e) **M**: This grade is awarded for courses taken during previous higher education studies where the student was successful and received S, G, or M grades. If the grades cannot be converted into the YÖK grading conversion table and the university's grading system when granting exemptions, they will count towards the total ECTS credits but will not be included in the CGPA calculation.

f) **I**: An incomplete grade is given to students who have been successful but have not completed some of the necessary work for the course due to illness or another valid reason. A student who receives an I grade must complete their outstanding work within fifteen days from the date of the final exam for that course. Otherwise, the I grade will automatically convert to an FF grade. However, this period may be extended by a decision from the relevant administrative board.

For students participating in exchange programs and/or joint diploma programs, the grades received from relevant universities will be recorded on their transcript by the Student Affairs Department according to Senate decisions regarding exemptions and equivalency processes.

Absolute grading systems are used for converting final grades and similar exam results that change due to make-up exams, excuses, exemptions, appeals, or court decisions into letter grades.

To ensure the quality of higher education programs:

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

- "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports," prepared within the framework of criteria set by YÖK, are published annually for higher education institutions. Reports containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions based on these reports are shared with the public by YÖK.

- The "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report," which includes academic, administrative, and financial data about foundation higher education institutions, is published annually by YÖK. This report includes quantitative and qualitative evaluations conducted on foundation higher education institutions and is shared with the public by YÖK. 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 Diploma Programs":

1. Formation and Approval of Curriculum: YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for opening undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

1.1. The curriculum of undergraduate programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes that each program will provide to students are determined by the senates of these institutions in accordance with the fundamental principles established by YÖK.

1.2. After the curriculum of National Core Education Programs is approved by the relevant Council of Deans, it is implemented by higher education institutions with YÖK's approval.

2. Assessment-Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of learning outcomes that each undergraduate program will provide to students are conducted according to the teaching and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the fundamental principles established by YÖK.

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

4. Self-Evaluation-External Evaluation: Higher education institutions enter their "Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports" from the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year as part of continuous monitoring. YÖKAK shares the "Institutional Feedback Report" regarding external evaluations of higher education institutions with the public. Additionally, accreditation decisions given by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also demonstrate that programs meet quality assurance standards. Regular review activities related to qualifications determined by YÖKAK regulations are conducted.
