The success status of students of the Department of American Culture and Literature, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Haliç University is determined according to the provisions of the “Haliç University Associate and Undergraduate Education and Teaching Regulations”.

Success grade; It refers to the equivalent of the raw success grade determined by taking into account the grades students receive from mid-term/annual activities and mid-term/end-of-year exams according to the predicted weights, except for single courses, grade increase and exemption exams, in the 4-point grading system.
A relative or absolute evaluation system is used in calculating students’ success grades. The relevant board of directors decides which evaluation system will be used before the beginning of the academic year. The conversion table prepared by YÖK is used for the conversion between the 4-point and 100-point grading systems.
In measuring success in a course; mid-term exams, additional exams, field and workplace studies, applications, homework, projects, workshops, seminars, continuation, laboratory and similar mid-term studies related to that course constitute 40% of the course evaluation grade. The types of mid-term studies, their contribution to the course success grade and the final exam grade are announced to students by the instructor teaching the course at the beginning of each semester. The grades of all mid-term studies and final exams related to the courses are announced.
In the absolute evaluation system, the success grade is determined according to the absolute ranges stipulated in this Regulation for raw success grades. In the relative evaluation system, the success grade is determined based on the average and statistical distribution of raw success grades.
The measurement and evaluation principles regarding relative and absolute evaluation systems, the conditions and limits for participation in the calculation of success grades in the relative evaluation system and the principles regarding success degrees are determined by the Senate and published on the University's website.
In both evaluation systems, students who do not take the final or make-up exam of any course and who cannot get at least 40 out of 100 from these exams are considered to have failed that course.
The points and letter equivalents of the success grade levels and the grade ranges in the absolute evaluation system are given below:
Success Grade / Letter Grade / Meaning / Grade Range
4.00 AA Excellent

90-100 3.50 BA Very Good

80-89 3.00 BB Good

70-79 2.50 CB Average

65-69 2.00 CC Sufficient

60-64 1.50 DC Conditionally Passed

55-59 1.00 DD Conditionally Passed

50-54 0.00 FF Failed

0-49 0.00 NA Absentee

0.

Apart from the success grade letters specified in the seventh paragraph, the status of students in a course is determined from letters that do not have a numerical value as follows:
a) NA (Absentee): It is given for courses that are failed due to absence and in average calculations, FF is given for credit courses and FF for non-credit courses. It is treated like a U grade.

b) I (Incomplete): It is given when students are successful in the course but cannot complete the internship, project, homework, laboratory experiments and similar studies required for the course due to their excuses. Students who are given this letter are required to complete their deficiencies within a maximum of fifteen days after the end of the exam period and be given a grade. Otherwise, the I letter becomes an FF grade.

c) S (Sufficient): It is given to those who are successful in internships and non-credit courses.

ç) T (Transfer/exempt): It is given for courses previously taken from another higher education institution and whose equivalence is accepted by the relevant board of directors and considered exempt.

d) W (Withdrawn): It is given for courses that students have withdrawn from.

e) P (Continuing): It is given in cases where non-credit courses that span more than one semester continue.

In the evaluation of the numerical grades that students receive during their adaptation or at another educational institution, the letter grades and coefficients specified in this article are taken as basis.
A student who receives one of the grades AA, BA, BB, CB, or CC from a course is considered to have passed that course.

The student must have passed all courses in the program and must not have a grade of FF or I.
In this program, the student must have a minimum of 240 ECTS credits and a general grade point average of at least 2.00 out of 4.00.
