General Information

Students are required to complete two-year associate degree programs within a maximum of four years, four-year undergraduate programs within a maximum of seven years, five-year undergraduate programs within a maximum of eight years, and six-year undergraduate programs within a maximum of nine years, starting from the semester in which the courses of the program in which they are enrolled are offered, regardless of whether they register for each semester or not, excluding the one-year foreign language preparatory class.

Students who have completed the maximum period of study are granted two additional examination opportunities each semester for all courses included in their curriculum in which they have failed.

Students who wish to exercise their examination rights at the end of the maximum period of study must apply to the academic unit in which they are enrolled by submitting a petition at the end of the semester in which their maximum period of study expires. This application is valid for both additional examinations.

Students who are entitled to take the additional examinations are required to take the first additional examination to be held at the end of the maximum period of study. Students who do not take the first additional examination shall be deemed to have used this examination right. Students who fail the first additional examination may take the second additional examination.

Applications and examinations will be conducted on the dates specified in the Additional Examination Schedule.

Detailed information regarding the exact date and time of the additional examinations and the faculty member who will conduct the examinations can be obtained from the relevant department/program heads.
