***A student who has received an FF grade in XXX course, then retakes this course and succeeds with a CC grade can apply. The important thing is the final grade of the courses.
Students with a GPA of at least 2.72 out of 4.00 but who do not fulfill the success ranking criteria can apply if they have a Central Placement Score not less than the base score of the Double Major program in the relevant year.
Students who want to pursue a double major program in the programs that ask for success ranking criteria (such as Law, Engineering, Architecture etc.) must meet the YKS ranking requirement set by the Council of Higher Education for the year the student is enrolled in the relevant program.
Students who transfer from abroad or are accepted and enrolled from abroad cannot pursue a double major in programs that require success ranking requirement (such as Law, Engineering, Architecture, etc.).
For admission to the double major programs that accept students through a talent exam (such as Theater and similar programs), passing the talent exam is required.
It is expected from students to pass all the courses they took in the Major Program to be able to apply for a double major program.
A student who has received an FF grade in XXX course, then retakes this course and succeeds with a CC grade can apply. The important thing is the final grade of the courses.
It is not necessary.
Common courses with the same code, same name and same credit, which have been succeeded in the major program and included in the Double Major Program, are transferred directly to the Double major program by the Student Affairs Directorate.
The courses taken in the major program can be transferred to the double major program upon the student’s request. Similarly, courses taken in the double major program can also be transferred to the major program upon the student’s request.
Courses with different codes and/or credits but equivalent in content can be counted towards the program based on faculty decisions.
Failure in the double major program does not affect the success and graduation processes in the major program.
During the entire extent of the double major program, the GPA of the student in the major program may drop to 65 out of 100 (2.50/4.00) for just one time.
For any student whose GPA drops below 65 out of 100 (below 2.50/4.00) for the first time or drops below 70 out of 100 (2.72/4.00) for the second time, their double major program registration is canceled.
It is required to graduate from the double major program in a maximum period of 7 years from the registered academic year (Subparagraph (c) of Article 44 of Law No. 2547).
Scholarships for double major students continue uninterruptedly for a maximum of five years (ten semesters) from the semester they start the Double Major Program.
The student who freezes his/her registration in the Major Program is deemed to have frozen his/her registration in the Double Major Program at the same time.
The two programs are evaluated independently of each other in the freezing process of students who have graduated from the Major Program and are continuing in the Double Major Program while they are continuing in the postgraduate program with a Major diploma.
The graduation process for a student who meets the graduation requirements in the double major program can only be completed if the student graduates from the major diploma program they are enrolled in.
Courses that the student successfully passed in the double major program may be used to fulfill the course requirements of his/her Major Program upon the suggestion of his/her advisor and the decision of the related Faculty Administrative Board.
Students who have not yet fulfilled the graduation requirements of their major diploma program can enroll in the minor program of the department where they are pursuing a double major, with the decision of the relevant faculty administrative board. These students can request that the courses they have taken and successfully completed in the double major program be counted towards the minor program.
Students who have graduated from the major program and continue to the double major program can apply for a master’s degree.
Minor Program
Applications for the minor programs can be made from the system to the relevant Faculty Dean at the beginning of the third semester at the earliest and at the beginning of the sixth semester at the latest in the Major Program on the dates specified at the academic calendar.
In order to apply to the Minor Program, the student must have successfully completed all the credit courses taken in the Major Program (final grades of the courses) until the semester they applied (at the beginning of the third semester at the earliest and at the beginning of the sixth semester at the latest.)
***A student who has received an FF grade from the XXX course and then retakes this course and succeeds with a CC grade can apply.
A student must achieve a minimum GPA of 60 out of 100 (2.29 out of 4.00) in his/her Major Program to be able to continue his/her Minor Program. A student who fails to meet this requirement for two consecutive semesters will be deregistered from the minor program.
A student who qualifies for graduation from the major program and completes the minor program with a minimum GPA of 2.00/4.00 will be awarded a minor certificate (certificate of achievement).
Students who have fulfilled the requirements for graduation from their major program but not from their minor program are given up to two extra semesters with the decision of the relevant administrative board.
Students who have frozen their registration for their major program are deemed to have suspended studies for their minor as well. However, the two programs are evaluated independently of each other in the freezing process of students who have graduated from the major program and are continuing in the minor program while they are continuing in the postgraduate program with a major diploma.
Students who have fulfilled the requirements for graduation from their major program and who have completed their minor program with a minimum GPA of 2.00 out of 4.00 are given a minor certificate (certificate of achievement).
