In this program, exams and evaluations are based on the "Erciyes University Associate and Undergraduate Education-Teaching and Examination Regulation". In order to evaluate the success of the students, a final exam is held in addition to the work they have done (such as homework, projects, presentations) and midterm exams. At the beginning of the semester, the instructors explain the evaluation systems and the rates related to these to the students. Midterm and final exams are held on the dates determined by the senate and the exam programs are announced to the students 15 days in advance. The evaluation of the grades is carried out as follows.

(a) Midterm Grade: It is calculated by taking into account the midterm exams to be held regarding the education and training of the course in question and other activities such as research, review assignments, projects.

(b) Raw Success Grade: It is obtained by adding 40% of the midterm grade and 60% of the semester or end-of-year exam grade. In order to obtain the raw success grade, the midterm grade and the midterm/end-of-year exam results are calculated out of 100 full points.
(c) Success Grade: It is calculated according to the evaluation system explained in the “Erciyes University Relative Evaluation Directive”. As a result of this evaluation, one of the letter grades whose expansions and coefficients are given below is given as the success grade. Success Grade Coefficients are; AA 4.00 BA 3.50 BB 3.00 CB 2.50 CC 2.00 DC 1.50 DD 1.00 FF 0.00 NA 0.00. As a result of the evaluation of the success grade; the success of the student is determined as follows. A student who receives one of the grades AA, BA, BB, CB or CC from a course is considered to have passed that course. A student who receives DC or DD from a course is considered to have passed that course provided that he/she reaches a GPA of 2.00 at the graduation stage. Students who fail in the application of a course are given a grade of UB (Unsuccessful in Application). The UB grade is treated like an NA grade. Students' success status is monitored with the semester grade point average (GPA) of the courses they have taken in the semester they have completed and the cumulative grade point average (GPA) for all courses they have taken. A student with a GPA of at least 2.00 as of the end of the current semester or year is considered successful. Successful students Successful students who have not had a failing grade from the current semester/year according to the normal education period, who have not had a failing course from the previous semester, and who have not received a disciplinary penalty, and whose grade point average for that semester is between 3.00 - 3.49 with a minimum normal course load at the end of the semester/year are considered honor students, and those who have a grade point average between 3.50 - 4.00 are considered high honor students. Students who receive FF, FG, UB or NA from a course repeated must take this course in the first semester/year it is offered. If these courses are elective or have been removed from the program later, students may take another course deemed appropriate by the department they are registered in upon the recommendation of their academic advisor.
