The student's success in the courses is determined by evaluating the mid-term grades and the final exam grade together.

Mid-term grades consist of quizzes, mid-term exam grades and grades given to homework, applications and practical work depending on the course. In the credit system, the type and weight of mid-term and final evaluations (exams, homework, applications and similar) are reported to the relevant department head by the instructor teaching the course within the first two weeks of the semester and announced to the students by the relevant teaching unit administration. The final evaluation is determined by the instructor teaching the course with one of the following letter grades, taking into account the general success level of all students taking that course.

While the impact of the homework given during the semester on the final grade is 40%, the impact of the final exams at the end of the semester is 60%.

Graduation Requirements are as follows:

• Successfully completing all courses in the program,
• Having no FF grade,
• Achieving a minimum grade of CB or higher for each course,
