ARTICLE 6 – (Title amended: R.G. 20/05/2018-30426)

(1) Students, excluding the one-year foreign language preparatory class, starting from the semester in which they are enrolled in the program, regardless of whether they register for each semester or not, must complete associate degree programs with a duration of two years in a maximum of four years, bachelor's degree programs with a duration of four years in a maximum of seven years, bachelor's degree programs with a duration of five years in a maximum of eight years, and bachelor's degree programs with a duration of six years in a maximum of nine years. Periods of leave and registration suspension are not considered in the calculation of the maximum education period. Maximum education periods are calculated according to the provisions of Law No. 2547.

(2) The following principles apply to students who cannot complete their education at the end of the maximum education period:

a) At the end of the maximum education period, two additional exam rights are granted to final semester students for all courses they have failed, regardless of the number of courses. (Amended: R.G.10/07/2019-30827) If the student cannot reduce the number of courses they need to pass to graduate, including university common elective courses and courses they have never taken and met the attendance requirement, to five after the two additional exams, their relationship with the University is terminated.

b) One of the two additional exam rights is used after the end of the spring semester exams, and the other is used before the start of the next academic year. Exams are held on the dates specified in the academic calendar. The date, place, and time of the exam are determined by the relevant unit's board of directors. Students who pass these exams are considered successful without the need for a midterm exam grade, and the procedures are carried out according to the principles in Article 23 and included in the weighted grade point average (GPA).

c) Final year students who reduce the total number of courses they need to pass to graduate, including courses they have never taken and met the attendance requirement, to a maximum of five after the two additional exams, are given an additional three semesters.

ç) Final year students who need to pass a maximum of five courses to graduate, including courses they have never taken and met the attendance requirement, without using the additional exam right at the end of the maximum education period, are given an additional four semesters.

d) Students in the situations described in (c) and (ç) enter the midterm, end-of-semester, and make-up exams held during the additional periods and continue to pay the student contribution fee/tuition fee during this period.

e) Final year students who fail one course at the end of the maximum education period or additional exams are given unlimited exam rights without benefiting from student rights. During this period, they can take midterm, end-of-semester, make-up, and single-course exams.
