( Footnote: ” This document is compulsory for the Departments of Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Aerospace Sciences Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Political Science and International Relations, International Trade and Logistics, and English Language Teaching!”)

GENERAL PRINCIPLES AND IMPLEMENTATION RULES

• Lateral transfer cannot be made to the first semester or the last semester of associate degree diploma programmes.
• In order to transfer from open and distance education to formal education programmes, the student’s grade point average in the current programme must be 80 or above out of 100, or the student’s central placement score in the year of enrolment must be equal to or higher than the base score of that year for the diploma programme of the university they wish to transfer to.
• Higher education institutions located outside the borders of the Republic of Türkiye will be considered overseas higher education institutions.

INTER-INSTITUTIONAL LATERAL TRANSFER

• Lateral transfers to our University are made from equivalent diploma programmes at the same level in other higher education institutions.
• For lateral transfer to our University, the student’s grade point average for the semesters completed in the registered diploma programme must be at least 60 out of 100 (2.29 out of 4).
• Candidates who cannot meet the achievement requirement in the second paragraph but whose central placement score is equal to or higher than the base score of the diploma programme they wish to transfer to may also apply for lateral transfer.
• The results of the inter-institutional lateral transfer evaluation, listing the names of all candidates with valid applications ranked according to the scores used in the evaluation, are announced on our University’s website.
• Primary and reserve candidates are determined in accordance 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 specified in the calendar.

  LATERAL TRANSFER TO OUR UNIVERSITY FROM OVERSEAS HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

• For lateral transfer to our University, the student’s grade point average for the semesters completed in the registered diploma programme must be at least 60 out of 100 (2.29 out of 4.00).
• Candidates who cannot meet the achievement requirement in the first paragraph but whose central placement score is equal to or higher than the base score of the diploma programme they wish to transfer to may also apply for lateral transfer. The applications of candidates applying in this way are considered if vacant quota remains after the placement of candidates applying under the second paragraph is completed.
• In lateral transfers from overseas higher education institutions, students who hold the base score for student admission to the relevant class of the diploma programme at our University to which they wish to transfer may apply for lateral transfer without any achievement requirement in all the courses they took abroad. The lateral transfer applications of students applying in this way are evaluated outside the scope of the overseas lateral transfer quota.
• For applications from overseas universities, it is required that the higher education institution and the programme in which the student studied abroad be recognised by the Council of Higher Education as an institution authorised to award associate degree diplomas, and that the relevant unit accept the equivalence of the student’s registered diploma programme to the associate degree diploma programme at our University to which the student applies for lateral transfer.
• The minimum scores in the Student Selection and Placement Examinations conducted by the Measuring, Selection and Placement Centre, together with the exams and scores accepted as equivalent, to be used in evaluating the transfer applications of students who began higher education abroad to higher education programmes in Türkiye, are announced by the Council of Higher Education together with the overseas lateral transfer quotas determined by the universities. Candidates must have at least the announced scores, or higher, in order to apply for lateral transfer.
• (Added: RG-18/3/2016-29657) In lateral transfers from overseas higher education institutions, the number of students who can transfer to each class of a programme from the same overseas higher education institution cannot exceed 15 per cent of the overseas quota of the relevant class of that programme. In calculating 15 per cent, numbers below 1 are rounded up to 1. If the part after the decimal point is less than 5, the number is rounded down to the whole number below; if it is 5 or above, it is rounded up to the next whole number.

EVALUATION OF APPLICATIONS

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