Admission and Registration Requirements
In Turkey, admission to universities requires passing the exam administered by the Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM). Students, based on their exam scores, organize their program preferences and submit their preference forms to the Student Selection and Placement Center. ÖSYM receives all applications, groups them according to score type, ranks the scores from highest to lowest, lists all available programs according to the preferred score type, and places students in one of their chosen programs.
Graduation Requirements
Students who successfully complete all courses in the program (totaling 120 ECTS credits) and achieve a weighted grade point average of at least 2.0 out of 4.00 will be awarded an associate degree in Land Registry and Cadastre.
Principles of Measurement and Evaluation
To be eligible to register and take final exams on the predetermined dates in the academic calendar, each student must attend at least 70% of lectures and at least 80% of practical sessions. Students are required to take at least one midterm exam and a final exam for each course. Midterm exams contribute 40% to the final grade, while the final exam contributes 60%. All exams are graded out of 100 points. Students who receive one of the letter grades (AA), (BA), (BB), (CB), and (CC) in a course are considered to have passed that course. (DC) and (DD) grades are conditional passing grades. To pass a course with a DC or DD grade, the student must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 for the semester in which the course was taken.
