Evaluation criteria for students⁸:

Explanations

¹ The overall grade point average and language score are calculated out of 100 points.

² The YÖK Grade Conversion Table is used to convert grades from the 4-point system to the 100-point system.

³ Since the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is automatically retrieved from YÖKSİS during the application process, there is no obligation to upload a transcript. The applicant is responsible for the accuracy of the data in YÖKSİS. If the data is outdated, it must be updated by the relevant unit. In case of discrepancies between the University Information System and YÖKSİS data, the YÖKSİS data will prevail. If the YÖKSİS data cannot be updated, the CGPA from a scanned transcript with a wet signature and seal obtained from the relevant unit will be used as the basis for the CGPA. In this case, the applicant must inform the Erasmus+ Institutional Coordinator. If the CGPA has not yet been determined, the provisions of the Erasmus+ Handbook for Higher Education Institutions published by the Presidency of the European Union Education and Youth Programs Center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey (Turkish National Agency) will apply.
