 DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR APPLICATION

• Current student certificate
• Current certified transcript of records
• Current certified curriculum and course contents
• Current document stating that you have not received a disciplinary penalty
• ÖSYM exam result document for the year the exam was taken
• ÖSYM detailed exam result document for the year the exam was taken

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

• Lateral transfer can be made, within the quotas set by the relevant board, to equivalent-level degree programmes within a faculty, college, conservatoire or vocational school itself, or within another faculty, college, conservatoire or vocational school of the same university.
• The semesters and degree programmes for which an intra-university lateral transfer quota will be set are decided by the relevant boards, starting from the second semester and up to and including the fifth semester for each degree programme, in such a way that for each year in which a quota is announced it does not exceed fifteen per cent of the student quota stipulated in the ÖSYM Guide. Students studying under a scholarship quota in a programme of a foundation university are deemed to have waived their scholarship when they make a lateral transfer. In determining the intra-university transfer quota of higher education institutions that apply transfer to a degree programme after a common programme, the quotas set by the senate for these degree programmes are taken as the basis.
• The transfer of candidates placed in a common programme with one score type to degree programmes within the same higher education institution that admit students with a different score type is carried out in accordance with the intra-institutional lateral transfer provisions of this Regulation.
• In order to apply for lateral transfer between degree programmes within the university that are at the same level but admit students with different central placement score types, the central placement score the student obtained in the score type valid for the target degree programme as of the year the student took the central exam must not be lower than the lowest base score of the equivalent degree programmes at other universities in Türkiye.
• For intra-university lateral transfer at our University, the grade point average (2.50 out of 4) for the semesters the student has completed in the enrolled degree programme is determined by the senate.
• Primary and reserve candidates are determined by the senate in line with the announced quota. Registration applications are accepted from reserve candidates in place of primary candidates who do not come to register within the registration dates set in the calendar.

Evaluation of Applications

• Applications will be evaluated by the boards of the relevant units.
• Accepted applications will be announced at www.hku.edu.tr.
