What is a Course Exemption? How is it applied for?



Associate/undergraduate students may request exemption for courses they have successfully completed at a higher education institution they previously attended. They must submit the exemption petition together with the approved documents that will serve as the basis for the exemption (transcript, course contents) to the Faculty Deanships/School/Vocational School Directorates within the dates specified in the academic calendar. The exemption request is decided upon by the relevant board of directors taking into account the course content, credits, and grade of achievement. Exemption requests not made within the specified period will not be considered for evaluation.

Is there a mandatory attendance requirement at Cyprus Aydın University?



Students are required to attend theoretical courses at a rate of at least 70% and practical and laboratory courses at a rate of at least 80% from the date instruction begins. Students’ attendance status is monitored by the relevant instructor and recorded in the system. Students can track their attendance status through the system. In the event that the absenteeism rate exceeds 30% for theoretical courses and 20% for practical and laboratory courses, the student is automatically given an NA grade and cannot sit for the end-of-semester exams.

How is Course Registration carried out?



Students are fully responsible for course enrollment and registration renewal procedures and are obliged to carry out these processes themselves. Before the beginning of each semester, within the periods specified in the academic calendar, the student selects the courses they will take under the supervision of their advisor and has their selected courses approved by their advisor.

Is it necessary to first take the failed courses from the lower class during registration renewal?



During registration renewal, it is necessary to first take the courses that have been failed, missed due to absenteeism, or never taken from the lower class. The system automatically adds the courses in which you have been absent or failed.

How is the GPA calculated?



It is calculated by multiplying the credit/ECTS of each course the student has registered for up to that date, including the completed semester, by the coefficient of the letter grade of the course, and then dividing the sum of the resulting numbers by the total credits/ECTS of all courses taken. The grades given from AA to FF are taken into account in the calculation of both the semester and cumulative grade point averages. In calculating the cumulative grade point average, the most recently received letter grade is used for repeated courses.

What is a prerequisite course? Are there prerequisite courses in my Department/Program? How can we find out?



At our university, in order to take certain courses, it is necessary to have previously passed the courses linked to these courses; such courses are called prerequisite courses. You can see which courses in the program you are enrolled in have prerequisites in the Department/Program course plan.

Can those with letter grades of AA, BA, BB, CB, and CC also take the make-up exam?



No. Only those with letter grades of FF, FD, DD, and DC can take the make-up exam.

I could not take the final exam of a course, can I take the make-up exam for this course?



If you have not failed the course due to absenteeism, you can take the make-up exam.

My make-up exam grade is lower than my final exam grade. When awarding the letter grade, will the final grade or the make-up exam grade be taken into account?



The most recently received grade is always valid. For this reason, when calculating the letter grade of students who have taken the make-up exam, the make-up exam grade, not the final exam grade, is taken into account.

How are military service deferment procedures carried out?



Military service procedures for newly enrolled students who are of conscription call-up age, as well as for previously enrolled students who have newly reached the conscription call-up age, will be carried out by the Military Branch Offices through YÖKSİS. The EK-C2 document will not be sent to the Military Branch Offices; however, if necessary and upon the student’s request, an EK-C document will be prepared and provided by the Student Affairs Department.

How does one become an Honor and High Honor Student at the associate/undergraduate level?

Registration can be frozen for one or two semesters by the decision of the Academic Unit’s board of directors. However, the total registration freeze period cannot exceed three semesters.
