Student Admissions; Student admission with horizontal and vertical transfer, double major, minor v

e student exchange applications and policies applied in the evaluation of courses taken and credits earned in other institutions and/or programs must be defined in detail and implemented. All horizontal transfers are made in accordance with the provisions of the Regulation on the Principles of Transfer, Double Major, Minor and Inter-Institutional Credit Transfer between Associate and Undergraduate Programs in Higher Education Institutions, published in the Official Gazette dated 24/4/2010 and numbered 27561. Horizontal transfers between faculties, colleges and departments affiliated to ÇOMÜ are made in accordance with the Regulation on the Principles of Transfer, Double Major, Minor and Inter-Institutional Credit Transfer between Associate and Undergraduate Programs in Higher Education Institutions and the principles accepted by the University Senate. In the calculation of the education period of students who make horizontal transfers, the periods spent by the students in the institution they came from are also taken into account. The total period cannot exceed the period specified by law.

If a student at another higher education institution enrolls in the Architectural Decorative Arts Program through the central placement exam conducted by ÖSYM or horizontal transfer based on success status, they can apply to the Student Affairs Office in the first week of the first semester they start their education for the courses they have successfully passed with CC at the higher education institution they were previously enrolled in, and request exemption from these courses. The Directorate of our Vocational School approves which courses the student requesting exemption will pass due to equivalence by consulting the relevant program advisor for the courses they have previously taken. A student registered in this manner must complete the courses from which they were not exempted from the semester before the semester they were adapted. The course(s) that the student has previously passed and exempted from in formal education programs outside the University are converted according to the Evaluation of Exams and Evaluation of Grades in Article 22 of ÇOMÜ Associate Degree-Undergraduate Education, Teaching and Exam Regulation and are included in the SPA and GN calculation. This period is deducted from the maximum period and the student completes the courses in his/her program within this remaining period.

Those who graduated from any higher education institution, who canceled their registration, who registered to a higher education institution and registered to our university as a result of the exams conducted by the Measurement, Selection and Placement Center or special talent exams and requested exemption are evaluated by the relevant boards of directors and the success grades of the exempted courses of the students whose exemption request is deemed appropriate are converted to the success grade in Article 22 of this Regulation. As a result, our vocational school board of directors is authorized to allow students with a general grade point average of 2.00 and above who want to take courses from the next semester, to take courses from the next semester together with the courses they did not take and failed in the semester they were adapted to and previous semesters, provided that the total credits of the courses they were exempted from in the current semester is at least half of the total credits of that semester in the program. If the student applies in the semester in which the exemption decision is made, the student who wants to take the course(s) from which they were exempted can take them again.

The fact that the student took a course from the next semester does not mean that he/she is in the next semester. Exemption exams for compulsory courses in the curriculum are also held for English I and II courses at the beginning of each semester. Students who pass these exams are exempted from the relevant course in the curriculum and their grades are recorded on the students' transcripts. Graduating students can continue to the undergraduate programs listed below by taking the Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS) or without taking the exam. Traditional Turkish Handicrafts, Old Tile Repairs, Traditional Turkish Arts, Tile, Ceramics, Graphics, Photography, Art Design and Production, Architecture, Interior Architecture, Interior Architecture and Environmental Design.
