Amendment to Atılım University Associate and Undergraduate Education and Examination Regulation
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation, published on March 29, 2026, amends the Atılım University Associate and Undergraduate Education and Examination Regulation originally issued in 2017. The changes address four key areas: student quota determination procedures, handling of students who fail to renew registration or pay tuition, excuse exam eligibility conditions, and grading rules for course withdrawals. On enrollment quotas, the Senate is now explicitly responsible for setting student quotas within the scope of relevant legislation, subject to Board of Trustees approval before submission to the Council of Higher Education (YÖK). On unpaid tuition and registration suspension, students whose registrations are suspended for multiple semesters may reinstate at a discounted rate (50% of outstanding tuition), while foreign students and those educated abroad face stricter automatic cancellation timelines (1 year for associate, 2 years for undergraduate). Excuse exam rules are tightened: applications must follow the academic calendar, and only students with a medical board report covering both the final exam and the excuse exam period (minimum 21 days) may sit an out-of-calendar excuse exam. No second excuse exam is permitted for the same course in the same semester. Practical courses are explicitly excluded from excuse exam eligibility. Finally, the (W) withdrawal grade is clarified: it is treated as a first-time course attempt and excluded from GPA calculations. However, if a student withdraws from a course they had previously taken, the prior grade remains valid and is used in GPA calculations.
