Exams consist of short-term exams, midterm exams, final exams, single course exams, make-up exams, exemption and graduation CGPA threshold exams. These exams can be written, oral or both written and oral and/or applied. All exams and activities are evaluated out of 100 points. A relative evaluation system is used in the calculation of the success grade within the framework of the principles determined by the Senate. Scores below the Addition Limit to Evaluation (DKL) are not taken into account in the relative evaluation. DKL is determined by the relevant faculty member. DKL cannot exceed 30 out of 100. At the end of the DKL application, the number of students excluded from the evaluation cannot exceed 30% of the number of students continuing the course. If the raw success grade is below the Lower Limit (AL) but above 30, it is evaluated as FD, and if it is below 30, it is evaluated as FF. If the lower limit of the DD letter grade is above AL, the FD grade is also given to these grades between the lower limit of the DD grade and 30. The value of AL is determined by the relevant board, provided that it is between 35 and 45.

• Letter grades are defined as follows:

Verbal Letter Grade Weight Coefficient Excellent AA 4.00 Good-Excellent BA 3.50 Good BB 3.00 Average-Good CB 2.50 Average CC 2.00 Weak-Average DC 1.50 Weak DD 1.00 Fail FD 0.50 Fail FF 0.00 Exempt M - Pass G - Fail K - Absent DZ -
