Students who will take a summer school course at another University must obtain a course list including the course name, content and ECTS from the university where they will register for the summer school. They must submit the course list and a petition stating that they want to take a course from another university in the summer school to the department head. The department board meets and a decision is made regarding the equivalence approval regarding the ECTS and content compatibility of the courses and is notified to the student. A student can take a course not exceeding a total of 21 ECTS credits in the summer term. If the same course is opened in the Karatekin University summer school or if there is a course content and ECTS incompatibility, the department board decision will be negative. Students who have equivalence approval must submit the documents proving this to the department head after completing the summer school at the host university and successfully passing their courses. With the decision of the department board, the grades in the host university`s grading system are converted to the Karatekin University grading system, and the courses that the student has passed are determined and entered into the system.
