In the Tourism Management programme, students' performance in courses or in various activities related to the course are measured and evaluated using different methods such as mid-term exams, homework, exercises, projects, applications, end-of-semester exams, make-up exams and individual course exams. Lecturers use methods of measurement and assessment that are appropriate to the content of the courses, such as classical exams, multiple choice exams, homework, performance assessment and product assessment. A weighted GPA of at least 2.00 is considered a success criterion for students to graduate. On the other hand, students who have successfully completed at least 30 ECTS/60 ECTS credits in any semester and have a GPA of 3.50 and above will graduate as High Honor Students, and students who have a GPA between 3.00 and 3.49 will graduate as Honor Students.

As stated in Article 18 of the Anadolu University Associate and Undergraduate Degree Education, Teaching, and Examination Regulation, the types and percentages of midterm and end-of-term exams, assignments, practices, and similar assessments are entered into the student information system database by the course instructor within the first two weeks of the semester/academic year and announced to students on the course introduction page online. The contribution of in-term/year assessments to the final grade cannot be less than 30% or more than 60%. In practical courses with only an end-of-term/year exam, the contribution of this exam to the final grade is 100%.

In all exams except the single-course exam, scores from in-term/year activities are considered when calculating students' final grades. However, the single-course exam and additional exams taken after the maximum duration contribute 100% to the final grade.

A student's course success is determined by the course instructor using one of the letter grades, considering the overall performance of all students enrolled in the course. According to the Achievement Evaluation Directive prepared based on the relevant Regulation, the letter grades and coefficients related to the level of achievement are specified below:
