• In order to evaluate the success of students, at least one midterm exam (homework, projects, quizzes, field trips and observation studies can be used as evaluation criteria) is held every semester.
• Make-up exams are also applied at our university: students who have earned the right to take the final exam but did not take the exam or who received F1, F2 and F3 grades from the course/courses for which the exam was taken can take the make-up exam.
• Grade sheets and exam documents for the final exams are delivered to the student affairs office of the units within the semester/year-end grade entry date specified in the academic calendar. Approved exam documents, other than transcripts, are kept by the student affairs office for at least two years.
• The evaluation of the exams is made by the faculty member(s) responsible for the relevant course. Course success grade is calculated by taking 40% of the grade obtained by evaluating the midterm exam grade and/or educational activities together and 60% of the final/make-up exam grade.

To oversee the quality of higher education programs;

• YÖK is responsible for the planning, organization, management and supervision of education and training and other activities carried out in higher education institutions.
• "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" of higher education institutions prepared annually within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK are published. The reports prepared according to these reports, including quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.
• Every year, YÖK publishes the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report", which includes academic, administrative and financial data on foundation higher education institutions. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

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

1. Establishment and Approval of Curricula:

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

1.2. 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 higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues. 1.3. The curricula of the National Core Curricula are approved by the relevant Council of Deans and implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of the Council of Higher Education.

2. Measurement and Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of the learning outcomes of each undergraduate program is carried out according to the education and training and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs receive an undergraduate diploma upon successful completion of course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions.

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