Recognition of prior formal education in Turkish higher education institutions, including vertical, horizontal, and intra-university transfers, is carried out within the scope of the “REGULATION ON THE TRANSFER, DOUBLE MAJOR AND MINOR BETWEEN ASSOCIATE AND UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS, AND CREDIT TRANSFER BETWEEN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS” determined by the Higher Education Council (YÖK). However, the recognition process for non-formal education, certificate-based, or experiential learning outside formal education institutions in Turkey is still in its early stages. Therefore, the recognition of prior learning has not yet been fully implemented in all programs at Yeditepe University.
