Transfer Students
It is only possible to recognize formal prior learning of transfer students from different universities under the coordination of the “Adaptation Commission” according to the relevant regulations set by The Council of Higher Education (YÖK). The courses taken from other universities during former education are recognized and their grades are included into the transcript of records/diploma supplement provided that the Adaptation Commission accepts their conformity to the related degree program. 

Students who have studied a short-cycle program and are qualified by the Turkish Council of Higher Education to further their education at a related first-cycle program must take Language Proficiency Test. Those who have passed this test start their undergraduate education. 

Exemption of Language Proficiency
Students who have taken formal, informal or non-formal language education before their acceptance at YTU under- or post-graduate programs are exempted from preparatory class provided that they take and succeed in language proficiency test organized by Department of Foreign Languages. 

Non-formal and In-Formal Learning

The students who have completed the proficiencies for these courses on his/her own or through other means, and believe that they have achieved the learning outcomes specified are given the right to take the exemption exam. The students who achieve a passing grade from these exams are held exempt from the related courses in the curriculum.
