Students, apart from previously taken exams, or their studies, are subject to one final examination.

Each semester, the students take ​​at least one midterm exam. Apart from the exams, quizzes can be held without specifying the date.

The evaluation criteria to be taken into account (mid-term exam, homework, final exam, etc.) and their ratios are indicated in the course curriculum and syllabus distributed to students and announced on the website at the beginning of the semester. Final examinations are held on the dates announced by the university in the specified place and time. Students' semester final grades are given by the lecturers by taking mid-term and final exam results, semester studies and attendence into account. The courses that won’t hold a mid-term and/or final exam are determined by the Department Heads or School Managers. This information is shared with the Student Affairs’ Office and success in those courses is assessed according to the studies that students carry out during the semester.

The semester course grades, together with the evaluation criteria of success are delivered by our teaching staff to the Student Affairs’.

GRADING PRINCIPLES AND CONDITIONS OF SUCCESS

For Students Who Enrolled in 2009 or Before   (Regulation 1 - Y1):

When determining a student's grade in a course, the level of success in studies during the course, grade of the year/semester, the average of the midterm grades and the course final grades are evaluated together at the end of the semester. If the related faculty member considers it appropriate, homework, laboratory and similar studies, and announced quizzes can be considered as a midterm or as an extra midterm.  However, to be successful in a course, students must get a grade of at least 50 out of 100 from the semester exam, end of the academic year exam or make-up exam (for letters it is CC). The effect of midterm exam grade on the course grade is 40%, the effect of Final/ Make-up exam on the course grade is 60%. The assessments of common mandatory courses such as Turkish Language and Literature, Arts, Sports, Music, are shown in the form of "Success" or "Failure".

For Students Who Enrolled in 2010 or Later (Regulation 2-Y2):

The faculty members use the OIS relative success assessment methodology according to the the31st 32nd and 33rd articles of the TC Maltepe University Associate Degree and Bachelor Degree Teaching, Training and Testing Regulation to evaluate each student enrolled in their courses and one of the course grades is given from the table given below as the course grade of students.

AA, BA, BB, CB and CC show that students succeeded in passing the course; DC and the DD show that students succeeded in passing the course if the conditions of success which are based on average weighted grade specified in the regulation are met. F shows failure.

In the following table, , the  semester course grade points and the coefficients of the course grade letters are given for the students subject to the regulations of the Y1 and Y2.
