4.4 Grading Scheme and Grades For each course taken, the student is given one of the following grades by the course teacher. The letter grades, grade points and percentage equivalents are given below: PERCENTAGE COURSE GRADE GRADE POINTS 90-100 AA 4.00 85-89 BA 3.50 80-84 BB 3.00 75-79 CB 2.50 70-74 CC 2.00 65-69 DC 1.50 60-64 DD 1.00 50-59 FD 0.50 49 and below FF 0.00 Other Grades: I: Incomplete, S: Satisfactory Completion, P: Satisfactory Progress, U: Unsatisfactory, EX: Exempt, NI: Not Included, W: Withdrawn, NA: Not Attended A grade of (I) is given to a student who provides supporting evidence through genuine and valid documentation of illness or other reason which has prevented her/him from completing the necessary course work. In such a case, within 15 days from the day of submitting the grades to the Registrar's Office, the student required complete the missing work and obtain a grade. Otherwise, the (I) grade will automatically become an (FF). The grade (S) is given to the students who are successful in non-credit courses, and (U) to those who are unsuccessful in such courses. (S) can also be given to courses accepted as equivalents in transfers from other universities. The grade (P) is given to students who are successful in taking non-credit courses. The grade (EX) is given to students who are found successful in the examination for exemption conducted by the department concerned for courses determined by the University Senate. The (EX) grade is not included in computing the grade point average (GPA) but is shown on the transcript. The grade (NI) is given if courses within the program or programs in which a student is registered are taken on the "condition that they are not included in the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)". The grade (NA) is given if a student does not fulfill the attendance and/or application requirements of the course. The grade (NA) is included in the CGPA as (FF). The grade (W) is given if a student withdraws from a course after the add/drop period within the first 10 weeks after the semester starts, with the recommendation of her/his advisor and the permission of the instructor concerned. Grade Point Averages: The student's standing is calculated in the form of a GPA and CGPA, and announced at the end of each semester by the Registrar's Office. The total credit points for a course are obtained by multiplying the grade point of the final grade by the credit hours. In order to obtain the GPA for any given semester, the total credit points earned in that semester are divided by the total credit hours. The CGPA is calculated by taking into account all the courses taken by a student from the beginning of entrance to the University which are recognized as valid by the Department in which she/he is registered.
4.5 Overall Classification of the Qualification The grades 65 and above are considered successful without further classification.

INFORMATION ON THE NATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM

The basic structure of the Turkish National Education system consists of four main stages as pre-school education, primary education, secondary education and higher education.

Pre-school education consists of non-compulsory programs whereas primary education is a compulsory 8 year program for all children beginning from the age of 6. The secondary education system includes "General High Schools" and "Vocational and Technical High Schools".

Higher education is defined as all post-secondary programs with duration of at least two years. The system consists of universities (state and foundation) and non-university institutions of higher education (police and military academies and colleges). Each university consists of faculties and four-year schools offering bachelor's level programs, the latter with a vocational emphasis, and two year vocational higher schools offering pre-bachelor's (associate's) level programs of a strictly vocational nature.

The establishment of all universities is based on Law No. 2547, the Law on Higher Education. All programs of higher education require accreditation by the Council of Higher education, prior to the establishment.

Admission to higher education is based on a nation-wide Student Selection Examination (ÖSS). The examination is held once a year and is administered by the Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM). Candidates gain access to institutions of higher education based on their composite scores consisting of the scores on the selection examination and their high school grade point averages.

Graduate-level programs consist of masters and doctoral programs, coordinated by graduate schools. Master's programs are specified as programs "with thesis" or "without thesis". Programs “without thesis" require completion of more graduate courses and a term project. The duration of these programs is a minimum of two years. In general, access to doctoral programs requires a master’s degree, unless the students’ performance at Bachelor’s degree is evaluated as exceptionally well. Doctoral programs have duration of a minimum of four years which consists of completion of courses, passing a doctoral qualifying examination, and preparing and defending a doctoral dissertation. Medical specialization programs are equivalent to doctoral level programs and carried out within the faculties of medical schools with hospitals. 

The Higher Education System is regulated by the Council of Higher Education (Yüksek Öğretim Kurulu-YÖK). Established in 1981, the Council regulates the activities of higher education institutions with respect to research, governing, planning and organization.
