Measurement and evaluation methods; exam types and their contribution to the course success grade are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) on these issues. Different methods such as participation, homework, project, practice, midterm exam and final exam are used in measurement and evaluation. In evaluating student success, success grades are calculated by taking into account all students in the course and letter or grade-based systems are used.

In measurement and evaluation, Article 24 of the Izmir University of Economics Associate and Undergraduate Education and Examination Regulation, given below, is applied.

ARTICLE 24 – (1) The mid-term and end-term exams, homework, practice and similar evaluation criteria to be taken into account in determining the success of the course and the weights of these criteria are determined by the faculty members/lecturers teaching the course. Evaluation criteria and weights are announced to students on the course introduction page in the ECTS Catalog published on the University's website.

(2) The success of students in any course is determined by one of the letter grades by the instructor teaching the course, taking into account the evaluation criteria. In determining the letter grade, the student's success in the midterm exam, final exam, mid-term studies and attendance at courses and practices are taken into consideration.

a) (Amended:OG-17/8/2015-29448) The coefficients, scores and status of letter grades included in grade point average calculations are stated below:

Points                         Grades                Coefficient                  Status

90-100                            AA                           4.00                   Successful

85-89                              BA                           3.50                   Successful

80-84                              BB                           3.00                   Successful

75-79                              CB                           2.50                   Pass

70-74                              CC                           2.00                   Pass

65-69                              DC                           1.50                  Conditional Pass

60-64                              DD                           1.00                  Conditional Pass

50-59                              FD                            0.50                  Unsuccessful- Fail

49 and below                  FF                            0.00                   Unsuccessful– Fail

b)(Amended:OG-17/8/2015-29448) NA (Absentee) grade is given by the instructor teaching the course to students who do not meet course attendance obligations and/or do not fulfill the conditions regarding course practices. The coefficient of the NA grade is treated as 0.00 (zero) in the calculation of grade point averages.

(3) Grades that are not included in the averages are stated below:

a) S (satisfactory) grade is given to students who are successful in non-credit courses.

b) U (unsatisfactory) grade is given to students who fail non-credit courses.

c) EX (exempt) grade is given to students who are exempt from some courses in the curriculum.

ç) I (incomplete) grade is given to students who cannot complete the required conditions for the course at the end of the semester or summer school for a valid reason accepted by the instructor teaching the course. The I grade must be converted to a letter grade within one week from the last date of semester or summer school grades. However, in special cases, conversions to letter grades exceeding this period must be made at least two weeks before the start date of course registration for the next semester. These procedures in special cases are carried out upon the recommendation of the head of the department where the course is given and by the decision of the board of directors of the unit to which that department is affiliated. An I grade that is not converted into a letter grade in due time automatically turns into an FF or U grade.

d) (Amended sentence:OG-14/7/2017- 30124) W (withdrawn) grade is used for a course that is allowed to be withdrawn with the recommendation of the advisor and the permission of the faculty member teaching the course. (Additional sentence:OG-14/7/2017- 30124) Course withdrawal is made on the dates specified in the academic calendar. A student; He/she cannot withdraw from compulsory courses in the first two semesters of the associate/undergraduate program, courses taken for promotion, courses that he/she has to repeat, courses for which he/she has previously received a W grade, and courses that are not included in the grade point average. First-year undergraduate students only; can withdraw from free general education courses that are included as elective courses in their plans. A maximum of one course per student per semester, including double major, minor or certificate program courses; Permission to withdraw from a maximum of two courses during the entire associate degree education and from a maximum of six courses during the entire undergraduate education may be granted with the recommendation of the advisor and the permission of the faculty member. Within the scope of the protocols signed between the University and educational institutions or official organizations abroad, course withdrawal by exchange students studying at the University can be made with the recommendation of the International Relations Office Directorate and the permission of the faculty member. For students in this situation, the rules regarding the W grade do not apply.

e) (Added:OG-28/8/2013-28749) NI (not included in the grade point average) is given to describe the courses taken by the student, provided that they are not included in the grade point average of the program or programs in which the student is registered. This grade is shown on the student's transcript together with the letter grade the student received from the relevant course. Courses with this status are not counted in the courses of the program in which the student is registered.

f) (Added:OG-22/1/2014-28890) P (Successful attendance) grade is given to students who regularly complete the academic work expected to be done in the relevant period in courses that are not included in the grade point averages and last more than one semester.
