ADDITIONAL LOAN REQUEST

 

(Requests for additional courses (for students with pending graduation) will be accepted in the Add-Drop week)

1-      Successful students who completed at least one year or two semesters in their own departments may increase their course loads by 3 credits or one course if their grade point average is at least 3.5 or by 6 credits or two courses if their grade point average is 3.75 or higher.

 

2-       For students who can graduate in the following academic year, course loads of faculty semester/year and summer session may be increased by 3 credits or one course at most for each semester/year and summer session.

 

 REPEAT COURSE 

1-      Students who obtain the grade F, NA, W or U from a course are obliged to take these courses in the first semester when such courses are offered in their own curricular, starting from the lowest semester in the curricula.

2-      When repeating an elective course, students may take another elective course.

3-      In order to increase their grades, successful or conditionally successful students may take the courses from which they obtained C and a lower grade. These courses may be repeated within no later than three semesters from the end of last registered semester.

4-      Students can not take courses to upgrade their exempt again notes

COURSE CLASHES

1-      You can take two clashing courses if you had previously taken at least one of them.

2-      It is not possible to take clashing courses if you have never taken any of those courses before. In such a situation, you should choose the course belonging to the earlier semester first.

 

 

ADDITIONAL SLOTS

1-      Each elective course type (Departmental, Non-Departmental, and General) has specific local and ECTS credits of workload. The total number of course credits that you should fulfill must at least match these workloads. If the total local credits or the total ECTS credits that you take from any elective course type does not match the required value, an additional slot for that particular elective type will be assigned to you.

2-      For example, assume that your department program requires you to take 3 non-departmental elective courses, with each course slot having 3 local credits and 4 ECTS credits. This means that the total local credits and the total ECTS credits of the 3 courses you will choose as non-departmental elective should be at least 9 and 12, respectively. If any of these conditions is not satisfied, the system will assign you an additional course slot.

 

Please note that if you take the required number of course credits (local and ECTS) for each elective type, you will not have any additional slots.
