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 in 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 the 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 Yeditepe University under- or post-graduate programs are exempted from the preparatory class, provided that they take and succeed in the language proficiency test organized by the Department of Foreign Languages.
Non-formal and In-Formal Learning
Exams of exemption are organized at the start of each year at the University for the courses of English Language. 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 exempt from the related courses in the curriculum.
