The student who fails in this exam, fails due to absenteeism or does not fulfill the prerequisites of the relevant course repeats the course in the semester it is opened.

These grades are recorded on the transcript of the student. - At the end of each semester, the academic grade point average (YANO) and the general academic grade average (GANO) are determined by calculating the coefficients given in the table in article 22 of the relevant regulation. YANO is the weighted grade point average of the semester the student is enrolled. GANO is the weighted grade average calculated at the end of the semester by taking into account all the courses in the curriculum of the department / department in which the student is enrolled, starting from the graduate program. - Calculated with YANO and GANO weighted grade averages. The weighted grade point average is calculated by dividing the total credits obtained by multiplying the credits of the courses taken and the equivalent weight coefficients of the letter grades from the courses by the total credits. The weighted grade average is calculated as two digits after the comma. - Both YANO and GANO are determined by taking the grades (AA) to (FF) that the student takes from credit courses into the assessment. - All grades received by the student are recorded in the grade book.
