9.How does the adaptation process (ECTS) work?

a.When evaluating applications for transfers from abroad, the time limit imposed on credit transfers as specified in Article 7/1/b of ‘The Regulations on Course Issues, Examinations and Success Assessment of Akdeniz University’ is not taken into consideration for courses which the student has previously taken.

Comparisons between courses which the student has previously taken, and the courses offered in the diploma programme to which the student has applied to transfer will be made by the relevant commissions, and a decision will be made about which semester or grade the student will start on according to the following criteria;

  • If the total number of ECTS credits of the exempted courses is from 1 to 39 ECTS, the student will study on year 1 of the course;
  • If the total number of ECTS credits of the exempted courses is from 40 to 99 ECTS, the student will study on year 2 of the course;

  • If the total number of ECTS credits of the exempted courses is at least 160 ECTS or more, the student will study on year 4 of the course.

In programmes for which the Pass-Fail grading system is used, the student must take any missing courses the year before starting his or her studies in the academic year to which the student has been transferred. 

Within the Adaptation Process, successfully completed courses which have previously been taken will be transferred and they will be included for calculating the GPA.

b.In cases where the courses which the student has previously taken were not indicated in the transcript as being assessed by the ‘’letter grade system’’, these courses will be accepted at a grade of ‘’CC’, in accordance with principles set out in ‘The Regulation on Course Issues, Examination and Success Assessment of Akdeniz University’.
