In order to be exempt from compulsory foreign language preparatory education, students determined to be at level B2 or above as a result of the Foreign Language Placement Test must take and pass the Foreign Language Proficiency Examination.

* Optional Foreign Language Preparatory education is available in undergraduate programmes taught entirely in Turkish. Students who wish to receive optional English or Arabic Preparatory education must apply with a petition to the secretariat of the relevant faculty within five working days at the latest from the date of their enrolment at the University. Students whose requests are approved by the relevant faculty executive boards must take the Foreign Language Placement Test on the dates specified above.

*For all foreign languages; if no validity date is stated on the language certificate, it has been decided that foreign language certificates dated September 2005 and later will be accepted as valid.

(1) A student who has previously studied at any higher education institution whose equivalence is recognised by the Council of Higher Education may request exemption for the courses they have taken and passed at that institution by applying with a petition to the secretariat of the relevant faculty/department together with the original transcript and course contents. Documents obtained from higher education institutions abroad (excluding universities in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) must be certified with an apostille. A student may not request exemption with a document that has not been apostilled.

(2) The student must submit the exemption request within five working days at the latest from the date of their enrolment at the university. Exemption requests made at later dates, or requests for the cancellation of exemption/adaptation procedures already carried out, are not accepted.

(3) The student's exemption request is evaluated by the adaptation committee to be formed by the relevant deanship/directorate, and is finalised by a decision of the relevant executive board following the adaptation process.

(4) Students granted course exemption may, with the approval of their academic advisor and in accordance with the course registration rules, take courses from a higher year up to the amount of ECTS credits for which they are exempt.

(5) The courses taken and passed in the previous diploma programme by students who have previously studied at any higher education institution whose equivalence is recognised by the Council of Higher Education are exempted in accordance with the principles determined by the relevant committee and are recorded on the transcript.

(6) For students who have previously studied at any higher education institution whose equivalence is recognised by the Council of Higher Education, the weighted grade point average and academic standing are calculated over the exempted courses together with the courses taken at the University.
