Attendance Requirements

The attendance limit, which was applied as “10% attendance limit + 5% report limit”, has been combined under the “15% absence limit” as of the 2024-2025 academic year. The days that our students are absent or on sick leave are included in the 15% attendance limit. There is also no other limit for absences or health reports. Our students do not have to submit their reports to YADYOK student affairs or instructors, except for reports that coincide with midterm and final exam days.

Students are obliged to attend at least 85% of the courses in an academic year. Students who exceed the 15% absenteeism limit lose their right to attend the courses, as well as their right to take the Winter and Spring BÜYES/BUEPT exams and their optional Summer Term Education rights. The first exam that these students can take is the Summer BÜYES/BUEPT.

Students can track their absenteeism status through the Student Information and Registration System (ÖBİKAS/ BUIS). Absence limits are announced at the beginning of each academic year in the “Announcements” section of our website. The announced limit is the total absenteeism limit of two semesters.

Excuse and Medical Report

The acceptance of medical reports issued for exceptionally important cases by a full-fledged hospital, is subject to the decision of the YADYOK Board of Directors. The student must submit his/her report, along with a petition addressed to the School of Foreign Languages, to the YADYOK Registrar's Office within two working days from the end date of the report, in order to present it to the Board of Directors for evaluation. If the report of the board is found appropriate, the student is not considered absent for the days when he/she cannot attend the classes.

Students who participate in social and sports activities approved by the ÖİD on behalf of the Rectorate are also not considered absent for the courses they cannot attend.

Makeup Exam

Students who have a health report on exam days or are on leave due to cultural and sports activities approved by the ÖİD can take the Make-up Exam at the end of the semester. Except for the Health Board Report, which coincides with the exam dates, short-term state hospital, family medicine or government doctor's reports provide students with the right to take the Make-up Exam, but the days with absence are not deducted from absenteeism limit. In a semester, a student can only take the Make-up Exam for a single exam that he/she cannot take. If the student has a report in a previous exam and cannot take a second exam, the second exam grade that he cannot take is calculated as zero.

In order to take the Make-up Exam for an exam that cannot be taken in unforeseen emergencies, students must write a petition explaining their situation and document their excuses. If the Administrative Board approves the excuse, the student can take the Make-up Exam.

No makeup exam is held for quizzes, speaking exams or in-class tasks.
