The passing grade at Tekirdag Namik Kemal University is 60 out of 100. However, the final or make-up exam result must be at least 50. Exams are evaluated on a full grade of 100. The semester / year-end grade of a course is the sum of 30% of the arithmetic average of the midterm or midterm exams and 70% of the grade taken in the semester / year-end exam or make-up exam. However, the semester / year-end grade of a course; Provided that it is decided by the relevant faculty / school board and announced at the beginning of the semester, it can be calculated between 30% and 50% of the arithmetic average of the midterm or midterm exams, between 70% and 50% of the grade taken in the semester / year-end or make-up exam, and the sum of the ratios can be calculated as 100%. As a result of the calculation, if the first number after the decimal point is less than five, it is increased to the lower integer, and if it is five or more than five, it is increased to the upper integer and finalised.

In addition, in order to ensure that the students receiving education receive an education in accordance with the ECTS (European Credit Transfer System), which is applied in European Union countries, applications in this direction have been initiated in the department. In this way, the ECTS credit system has been adopted and the time allocated by the students to the relevant subject for each course outside of class time is tried to be measured. At the end of all these, the success status of the students through mid-term and final evaluation systems (mid-term and final exams, quizzes, homework, practice, presentation, etc.) are entered into the system by the faculty members and announced on the computer environment via the internet. In the final evaluation, the success levels of all students taking the course in question are grouped by the relative evaluation system and reflected in their transcripts according to the letter grades below. The grades that the students have received in the courses are grouped according to the relative evaluation while entering the system and published by the system according to the letter equivalents specified in the table below.

The coefficients of letter grades in the relative and absolute evaluation method are determined according to the table below:

Value out of 100 points                    Letter grade                   Coefficient

                      90-100                                  AA                           4.00

                       80-89                                   BA                           3.50

                       70-79                                   BB                           3.00

                       65-69                                   CB                           2.50

                       60-64                                   CC                           2.00

                       50-59                                   DD                           1.50

                       30-49                                   FD                           1.00

                         0-29                                   FF                            0.00

At the end of the 2-year education period, students who successfully complete all the required courses and complete the total credits are awarded an associate degree. Each student in the Machine Programme is required to take at least 120 ECTS credits in order to complete the programme and meet the requirements for graduation. At least 25% of the total credits to be taken consists of elective courses. In addition, the overall grade point average of the student must be at least 2.00 and above (CC and above as a letter grade).
