Information Regarding Conducting Classes Through Distance Education

Dear Students;

In line with the decisions taken by the Council of Higher Education to ensure that education and training processes can continue as uninterruptedly as possible due to the Coronavirus outbreak, our university has quickly held a senate meeting and made the necessary arrangements, and determined the principles regarding the conduct of courses through our University's Distance Education System. In this context, I present the decisions taken by our senate for your information.

1. Necessary preparations have been made in all academic units of our university, and courses at the associate, undergraduate, and graduate levels will be conducted through our university's distance education system starting from 30.03.2020.

2. Courses will be conducted synchronously (simultaneously) within the framework of the program announced by the academic units and will be recorded in the system. Students will be able to participate in the course live by logging into the system from their location at the course time specified in the announced program.

3. Students who cannot participate in synchronous courses due to internet facilities, technical inadequacies, etc., will be able to watch the recorded course at a later time and will be considered to have attended the course.

4. An information and introduction presentation on how our students will participate in the courses through the distance education system will be shared with them soon.

5. Courses that are required to be conducted practically, such as laboratory, workplace practice, internship, will be conducted intensively at a later date.

6. Midterm and final exams of the courses will be held at a later date to be determined by our university, and detailed information on the subject will be provided according to developments.

I want all our students to know that some courses at our university have already been offered through the distance education system for 4 years, and that the courses can be conducted smoothly and comfortably with the development of the system's technical capacity, and that all resources have been mobilized in this regard.

In addition, all kinds of information regarding new developments and arrangements related to the process will be shared on our university's website and social media accounts, and I kindly request that no information not shared by our university be trusted and that calmness be maintained during this process.

Stay Home, Stay Safe
