My address and/or contact information has changed. What should I do?

You can contact your faculty representative at the Office of Student Affairs or update your information via the SPARKS/Notes and Personal Information/Address and Phone Number Update screen.

Every student enrolled at the university is assigned an academic advisor from the teaching staff starting from their first year. This teaching staff member is the first person students should consult regarding any academic matter. Advisor assignments and changes are decided by the Faculty Deans. Academic matters to be consulted include course selection, especially taking prerequisite courses on time, double majors, minors, course repetition, summer courses, transfer of courses from outside the university, and similar issues. Advisors guide students in selecting courses appropriate to their area of focus and in graduate program options available in their fields. Each semester, during the course registration period, the academic advisor reviews the courses selected by the student, checks their compatibility with the program, and approves them. Students can see who their advisor is through their SPARKS and MyHAS accounts.

An academic year consists of fall and spring semesters. There is also a Summer Session program. The fall and spring semesters last 14 weeks, while the optional Summer Session lasts 6-7 weeks with intensive course hours and ends with an exam week.

This is financial support provided to students who apply to become student assistants in various administrative units of the University at the beginning of each academic year. To be eligible for an active scholarship, students must be enrolled in courses, have no disciplinary penalties, and have a GPA of at least 2.00. Application dates are announced in the Academic Calendar.

At the beginning of the semester, the syllabus provided by the faculty member/staff member specifies the number of midterm exams, their dates, and their contribution to the final grade for the semester.

Students with a weighted overall grade point average of 2.00 or higher at the end of any semester are considered successful students. However, these students must retake the courses they failed. These students may take up to 6 KHAS credits above the nominal credit load, and students subject to the ECTS credit system may take up to 12 ECTS credits.

Students whose weighted overall grade point average falls below 1.80 for two consecutive semesters are considered failing students in the following semester. Failing students must first take the courses in which they received an FF grade in previous semesters, provided that these courses are offered in the semester in which they register, without exceeding the nominal credit load specified in their course plans for that semester. If they wish, students may take courses in which they received a conditional pass (DD and DC) to improve their grades, as well as two new courses from previous semesters and/or the semester they are currently enrolled in.

Document requests are made through our SPARKS registration system. Printed documents such as student certificates, transcripts, and disciplinary records are prepared by the relevant staff of the Office of Student Affairs upon request. Student certificates, transcripts, and disciplinary records are sent with an e-signature to the student’s @stu.khas email address the following day. Other documents requiring a wet signature can be collected from the Office of Student Affairs counter the following day. How many credits can I register for in a semester? In their first semester, students are required to register for all courses listed in the teaching plan for that semester, except for those who are exempt. After the first semester, students can complete their semester registration by taking at least one course.

The maximum credit load is 6 KHAS credits for students with a GPA of 2.00 or higher, and 12 ECTS credits for students subject to the ECTS credit system.

The student begins their associate’s or bachelor’s degree program as a first-semester/first-year student. In order for a student to be considered an upper-semester student, they must have earned at least 6 KHAS credits, or at least 12 ECTS credits for students subject to the ECTS credit system, based on the cumulative total of the nominal credit loads of the semesters in the curriculum, starting from the first semester and including the semester in which the student is currently enrolled.

The scholarships provided by Kadir Has University to students placed in its scholarship programs by the Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) are non-repayable and cover only tuition fees. Regardless of academic performance during the education period, the scholarship continues uninterrupted for a maximum of 1 year (2 semesters) for students attending the mandatory foreign language preparatory school and a maximum of 4 years (8 semesters) at the undergraduate level.

Scholarships defined under the Kadir Has University Associate Degree and Bachelor’s Degree Scholarship Guidelines may be terminated for the following reasons, unless otherwise specified in the scholarship definitions:

a) The student’s grade point average (GPA) falls below 2.00,
b) The student has received disciplinary action,
c) The circumstances that made the student eligible for the scholarship no longer exist.
d) The student not being enrolled in courses.

A double major is a program that allows students who are successfully pursuing a bachelor’s degree in their primary major to also earn a bachelor’s degree in a second major. In order to receive diplomas from both departments upon graduation, the requirements of both departments must be completed within the required time frame. Even if the requirements of the primary major have been completed earlier, the maximum time allowed for the student to complete the requirements of the second major is seven years, as specified in Article 44(c) of Law No. 2547, starting from the academic year in which the student enrolled in the second major diploma program. Students can start the Double Major Program at the beginning of the third semester at the earliest and the fifth semester at the latest of their major programs. At the time of application, the student must have successfully completed all courses taken in the major diploma program, have a minimum GPA of 2.72/4.00 in the major diploma program, and be in the top 20% of the relevant class in the major diploma program in terms of success ranking. Students who do not meet the last requirement may apply to the double major program provided that they have a central placement score that is not lower than the base score for the relevant year of the program in which the double major will be undertaken. Applications for the double major program are made online to the relevant Faculty Dean’s Office by filling out the application form and submitting the transcript and other required documents by the application deadline specified in the Academic Calendar. CAP Guidelines You cannot be enrolled in two CAP programs at the same time, but you can be enrolled in both the CAP and YAP programs at the same time.

Types of mid-term assignments, the contribution of these assignments and the mid-term exam grade to the course grade, bell curve, pass mark, attendance requirement, and similar course assessment and evaluation conditions for midterm assignments and final exams are determined by the instructor/staff member teaching the course in conjunction with the course objectives and are announced to students via KHAS Learn along with the course syllabus at the beginning of each semester.

The course selection schedule determined by class is announced on our website and the MyHAS portal at the beginning of each semester, no later than two weeks before registration, sent to students’ university email addresses, and posted on the Student Affairs Bulletin Board. First, if you have failed courses and these courses are offered during the active period, it is recommended that you take them. It is particularly recommended that students with probationary or failing status avoid taking new courses and repeat FF/DD/DC courses. This way, you will have a higher chance of raising your GPA above 2.00. Students are advised to check in advance whether there are any priority courses they must take during the active period, especially if their program includes a project course, and whether taking that project course is subject to any conditions. They should definitely consult with their academic advisor.

Under the https://bologna.khas.edu.tr/ extension, you can view the courses you are required to take by selecting the degree level (associate’s, bachelor’s, or master’s) of the program you are enrolled in, the program itself, and your enrollment year.

Students who previously enrolled in a higher education institution but had their enrollment terminated for any reason, or who graduated and are eligible to enroll in an associate or bachelor’s degree program at the University through the Higher Education Council (YÖK) Examination (ÖSYS), may request exemption from equivalent courses if they successfully completed those courses in their previous higher education program (provided that no more than five years have passed since completing the courses, except for Turkish and History courses). The course exemption and transfer procedures for these students are carried out in accordance with the Kadir Has University Associate Degree and Bachelor’s Degree Exemption and Transfer Procedures Guidelines. Within the framework of this paragraph, in order for students who have been transferred to the University to be eligible for graduation, they must be enrolled for at least four semesters in the undergraduate program and at least two semesters in the associate degree program at the University. Students who begin their education with the core curriculum cannot apply for exemption.

Attendance requirements are determined by the relevant faculty member/staff member and applied as specified in the course syllabus. They may vary between 20% and 80%.

You can view the syllabus for each course by clicking on its code in your course schedule on the Bologna page. The content description is included in the syllabus, and you can prepare it as a Word document for the entire program. If you will be using the content in an official application, you must have it approved by the Faculty Secretary.

You may withdraw from a maximum of one course per semester, a maximum of two courses during your associate degree program, and a maximum of five courses during your bachelor’s degree program. Courses from which the student withdraws are considered not taken and are indicated as W (withdrawn) on the transcript.

Students may withdraw entirely from one course in their study plan for each semester, except for the first semester they begin their education, by obtaining their advisor’s approval by the final application date specified in the Academic Calendar. However, they may only withdraw from courses they are taking for the first time. They cannot withdraw from a course in which they have received an FF grade or from a course taken in place of that course.

It is issued to describe the structure, level, context, content, and status of study abroad, where the knowledge and skills acquired by individuals with a higher education degree are defined by the ECTS credits of the academic studies included in the student’s course plan, which they have followed and successfully completed. In short, it is a document that is recognized abroad. It is issued by the Student Affairs Office upon request to students who are eligible to receive a diploma.

A Temporary Graduation Certificate or Diploma is issued solely to the student after the withdrawal process is completed by the Student Affairs Office. In cases where it is requested to be delivered to a third party, including parents, a power of attorney from a notary public is required. It is not possible to send the Provisional Graduation Certificate or Diploma by mail. Upon request, the Provisional Graduation Certificate can be sent to your stu.khas.edu.tr email address with an e-signature.

First, you must place a newspaper advertisement stating that you have lost your diploma. The lost diploma request form, available from our website at https://www.khas.edu.tr/formlar, must be completed and submitted to the Student Affairs Office. Once your application is approved, the printing process for your diploma will begin, and you will be contacted once the process is complete.

You can find information at https://international.khas.edu.tr/.

At the end of each semester, students’ academic performance is determined by their Weighted Semester Grade Point Average (GPA) and Weighted Overall Grade Point Average (GPA). This is calculated by multiplying the letter grade coefficient of each course taken by the student and contributing to the grade point average by the course credit, summing the results, and dividing this total by the total credits taken. The result of the division is rounded to two decimal places. If this calculation is performed for courses taken within a semester, the Weighted Semester Grade Point Average (WSGPA) is obtained; if it is performed for all courses taken up to that point, the Weighted Overall Grade Point Average (WOGPA) is obtained. Courses graded with a G and non-credit courses are not included in the weighted grade point average calculation. The principles regarding the inclusion of grades from courses taken at another higher education institution that form the basis for exemption from courses in the University’s associate and bachelor’s degree program course plans in the weighted overall grade point average are regulated by the Senate. When repeating a course in which the student failed or retaking a course to improve the grade, the student’s most recent grade is valid. The student’s previous letter grade or grades are not considered in the calculation of the weighted semester and overall grade point average.

Students who wish to voluntarily terminate their relationship with the university can apply by filling out the withdrawal request form available at https://www.khas.edu.tr/formlar.

You can find detailed information about online and individual applications at https://www.istanbulkart.istanbul/.

For compelling reasons, a student may not wish to continue attending the university for a certain period of time. Registration may be suspended by decision of the Faculty/College Administrative Board within the period specified in the Academic Calendar; however, in cases where the period specified in the academic calendar is exceeded due to compelling reasons, a decision by the University Administrative Board is required. Students who are granted permission to freeze their registration continue their education and training from where they left off at the end of the registration freeze period. In the event of a leave of absence, the maximum period of study stipulated in Article 44 of Law No. 2547 does not apply. Students on leave of absence are not granted the right to retake laboratory, practical, or end-of-semester exams that they were unable to attend; end-of-semester and midterm exams are not held.

You may suspend your enrollment for a maximum of two semesters at a time. During your studies, if you are an associate degree student, you may suspend your enrollment for a maximum of two semesters; if you are a bachelor’s degree student, you may suspend your enrollment for a maximum of four semesters.

Students indicate their intention to be active during the relevant period by clicking the registration renewal button on SPARKS at the beginning of each academic semester in order to register for courses. The amount to be paid for the scholarship is recorded as a debt by the Office of Financial Affairs. The defined tuition fee must be paid by the dates specified in the Academic Calendar. Once payment is made, the student’s course registration system is activated. Students who have renewed their registration but have not paid their tuition fees cannot select courses.

Internal horizontal transfer refers to a student changing departments by transferring from one department to another. Students wishing to transfer horizontally must apply electronically via the Student Affairs Office’s Horizontal Transfer page no earlier than the end of their first academic semester and no later than before their sixth academic semester. They must submit their application documents to the Student Affairs Directorate within the specified time frame. Internal transfer applications are made between the dates specified in the Academic Calendar. Applications are reviewed and decided upon by the Transfer Committee formed by the Dean’s Office of the desired Faculty.

Within three business days of the announcement of exam grades or final grades, you may submit a written appeal for material errors to the relevant departments. Material errors refer to errors that do not constitute a re-evaluation of the exam paper. No review or re-evaluation can be conducted on exam documents whose results have been announced, except for material errors.

Students who have a weighted GPA of at least 2.00 but fail to meet graduation requirements solely because they failed one course, excluding the graduation thesis, graduation project, and final assignment, are granted a single course exam right within the maximum period of study. Students within the maximum period of study who have fulfilled all other requirements for graduation but whose weighted overall grade point average is below 2.00 and who have failed only one course are granted the right to take a single course exam. This right is granted on the condition that the grade they receive in this single course exam will raise their weighted overall grade point average to at least 2.00.

The single-course exam is held after the fall and spring semester final exams. At the end of the summer term, if you meet the requirements for the single-course exam for graduation, a single-course exam may be offered.

If you fail a single-course exam, and you are within your maximum study period (14 semesters for a bachelor’s degree), you must register for the course within the course registration period specified in the Academic Calendar if the course is offered in the semester you wish to take the single-course exam. If the course is not offered, you can take the next single-course exam, the date of which is specified in the Academic Calendar.

A minor is a program that allows students who are successfully pursuing their primary undergraduate degree program to take a limited number of courses in another field of interest.
