UNITS TO CONTACT IN CASE OF PROBLEMS
If you have a problem with your program password, first apply to your Faculty Secretary. If the courses you must take as compulsory courses have not been defined for your department, apply to the head of the department offering the course. If the courses you wish to take do not appear in the registration program (the course may not have been defined by the department, may not be offered to your department, its capacity may be full, etc.), apply to the Faculty Secretary of the faculty offering the course. For problems regarding tuition fees, apply to the Department of Financial Affairs Office. If you cannot register because you appear to owe the library, apply to the Department of Library and Documentation (KDDB). If a change needs to be made after your registration has been approved by your advisor, apply to your advisor. You can send your questions about registration to npasali@bahcesehir.edu.tr, afidan@bahcesehir.edu.tr . Your question will be dealt with and answered.
COURSES WITH PREREQUISITES
If the prerequisite for a course you wish to register for has not been met, you cannot register for that course.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE GRADE POINT AVERAGE AND "SUSPENSION"
According to the Bahçeşehir University Associate and Undergraduate Education Regulation, undergraduate and associate degree students with a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 1.80 are considered successful. Undergraduate and associate degree students with a CGPA below 1.80 are considered unsuccessful. Unsuccessful students in their second or higher semester must have a CGPA of at least 1.80 at the end of the semester in which they are enrolled in order to continue their studies. Students in their second or higher semester whose CGPA is below 1.80 (unsuccessful students - students on suspension) repeat courses they have previously taken until they raise their CGPA to the specified level.
Until they raise their CGPA to 1.80, these students may take at most one new course that they have not taken before. If these students took a course they had not taken before in their first semester on "suspension" and could not raise their average above 1.80 at the end of that semester, they cannot take a new course in their second semester on "suspension". This continues until they are off "suspension". If students on "suspension" fall below 1.80 again in the semesters after raising their CGPA above 1.80, they may again take at most one new course they have not taken before until they raise their CGPA to 1.80.
Semesters in which students repeat courses are included in the calculation of the maximum period of study. The courses you select in the 2009-2010 Fall semester are important; you should try to keep your CGPA above 1.80 at the end of this semester.
FALL 2009 REPEAT COURSES
You must first take the courses in which you received an "F", "W" or "U" grade in previous semesters. Since you are required to take these courses, if they conflict with your regular semester courses, you will have to drop your regular semester courses. However, in any case of conflict, you may be able to switch to other "sections" by applying to your faculty secretary, if possible and approved.
TOTAL CREDIT LIMITS
Your total credit limit varies according to your faculty and your grade point average. The credit limits by faculty are as follows:
Faculty of Arts and Sciences: 21 credits
Faculty of Business: 21 credits
Faculty of Communication: 20 credits
Faculty of Engineering: 20 credits
Faculty of Law: 22 credits
Faculty of Architecture: 21 credits
Vocational School: 24 credits
In addition to these total credit limits, if you attended the 2nd semester of the 2008-2009 academic year or continued to summer school and your grade point average (GPA) at the end of summer school is 2.00 or higher, you can take +3 more credits, and if it is 2.50 or higher, +6 more credits. Final-semester students can take +3 more credits in addition to these conditions and credits.
COURSE REGISTRATION SCREENS
You can access the screen you will use during course registration from the course registration section after logging in to the web portal of the student affairs system (http://ogr.bahcesehir.edu.tr). You will register for courses one by one by selecting the button next to their names. At this point, you will see 4 separate lists on the screen for registering for courses if you are on "suspension", and 5 if you are not. Registration for a course is done by clicking the "Take Course" link next to a course in the relevant list.
If the operation is successful, information about the course you added will appear in the list at the top of the screen. Here you will also see which "section" of the course you have registered for and information about the type of course. The schedules of the courses you add will be reflected in your course schedule.
If the courses you have registered for are not reflected in your weekly schedule, apply to your Faculty Secretariat. Remember that if you do not complete the above procedures on time, you will become unregistered and lose your student status. You will not be able to attend classes, take exams or obtain a student certificate.
FIELDS ON THE COURSE REGISTRATION SCREEN
The fields from which you can select courses and their descriptions are as follows.
The courses in which you received F, NA, I, W or U are in this section. You must take these courses first. Only for GE and Elective courses among these can you select another course from the list instead of the one you failed.
Semester Courses
The list of courses you need to take this semester is here. You can add your compulsory courses by clicking "Take Course", and Elective and GE courses after selecting them from the list.
You can take a maximum of 2 General Education courses per semester. When registering for General Education courses, the system will register you in the relevant "section" of the course as long as its quota is available; if the quota is not available, you cannot register for that course..
Courses You Can Take from Upper Years
You can also take courses from upper years as long as your credits allow, your advisor permits and there is no prerequisite problem (in that case the system will not give you the course and will display an error message). When taking courses from upper years, you should first have taken all your semester courses and make sure that there are no conflicts in your course schedule.
Courses You Can Repeat
From this section, you can take courses that you have taken in the last 3 semesters and passed without an "A" grade, if you wish to repeat them to raise your grade. In the tab that appears on the right for this section, you can see the list of courses you can take in this way and, right next to it, the letter grade you received for each course, and make your choice accordingly. If any of these courses have been removed from the curriculum, the course designated as its equivalent will be assigned when you select it. Note that you can take these courses as long as your credits allow and only from the courses offered this semester. Only for GE and Elective courses among these can you select another course from the list instead of the one you failed.
NI Courses:
To select an NI (Not Included) course, you must first apply to the Faculty Secretary of the faculty offering the course and obtain electronic approval, and then apply to the Department of Student Affairs with a written petition stating the code of the NI course you wish to take.
