Recognition of prior formal learning in Turkish Higher Education Institutions, vertical,
horizontal and intra-university transfers are carried out within the scope of the
"REGULATION ON THE PRINCIPLES OF TRANSFER BETWEEN ASSOCIATE
AND PROGRAMS IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS, DOUBLE MAJOR,
MINOR AND CREDIT TRANSFER BETWEEN INSTITUTIONS" determined by the
Council of Higher Education. In Turkey, the process of recognizing non-formal, certificatebased
or experience-based (in-formal, non-formal) learning outside formal education
institutions is still in development. For this reason, recognition of prior learning has not been
fully initiated in all programs of Yeditepe University.
