b. Students who have the right to enroll in the programs apply to the Dean's Office with a petition with 3 preferences indicating which education program of the Faculty they want to continue from the 7th semester until the end of June. These applications are evaluated by the Education Commission according to the principles specified in subparagraph (c) of this article after the grades of the students are reflected in their transcripts and are proposed to the Board of Directors and finalized with the decision of the board. Students who have not submitted a curriculum preference petition by the end of June are placed in programs whose quota is not filled.

 

c. If the number of applicants who make the first preference for a program of a department does not exceed the number determined for the relevant program, students are placed according to their first preferences. However, if the number of applicants who apply to the programs of the Faculty as their first choice exceeds the quota of those programs, the placement of students in the programs is as follows;

 

c. 1. The number of students who apply to any program of the Faculty are placed in order according to their weighted grade point averages after calculating the weighted grade point averages of their courses in the first six semesters as stated in the "E.Ü. Directive on Measurement and Evaluation Principles".

 

c. 2. Students are first placed in programs in order of points, taking into account their preferences.
