According to the Senate decision numbered 68570759/9, the ranking is made according to the CALCULATION RESULT BELOW.

40% of the candidate`s ÖSYS/YKS Score + 60% of the candidate`s 100-point General Academic Grade Point Average = Candidate`s Placement Score with Horizontal Transfer

The above calculation is primarily made for students who meet the general grade point average requirement.
Students who do not meet the GPA requirement but whose central placement score in the year they are registered is equal to or higher than the base score of the diploma program they want to transfer to (i.e. our department) will be evaluated if there is a quota left after those who meet the GPA requirement are placed. Their evaluation is also made according to the result of the same calculation as above.
If the number of students who are granted a right is high, as many substitute candidates are determined as the main candidates.

INTERNAL HORIZONTAL TRANSITION PRINCIPLES

VERTICAL TRANSFER

Vertical transfer is the transfer of a student studying in an associate degree program to an undergraduate diploma program.

The processes for vertical transfer applications to our department are currently carried out in accordance with the provisions of the “Regulation on the Continuation of Undergraduate Education of Graduates of Vocational Schools and Open Education Associate Degree Programs”. In other words, students who want to be placed in our department through vertical transfer are placed by ÖSYM if they take the Vertical Transfer Exam and receive a sufficient score.

The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) determines which associate degree programs can be transferred to our department`s undergraduate program and is included in the guides published by the Student Selection and Placement Center. You can visit the link address for the list of Undergraduate Programs to Which Vertical Transfer Can Be Made According to Associate Degree Graduation Fields.
