Important Reminder


Dear Students,

It has come to our attention through complaints both expressed on social media and submitted to our University management that some students attempt to sell the courses for which they have registered in advance to other students.

Please be advised that this is a serious violation of fairness and equality with adverse effects on teaching and learning at our University. It is also a disciplinary offence which calls for the disciplinary action of suspension as it restricts the freedom of teaching and learning as stipulated in Article 6/1-a of the Rules and Regulations for Student Discipline at Higher Education Institutions. Please also note that students who purchase these courses will be subject to same disciplinary proceedings as students who sell them.

Furthermore, in addition to being a disciplinary offence at the University, the said violation is also a source of untaxed income. In addition, it is also a criminal offence which calls for imprisonment as per Article 112 of the Turkish Criminal Law as it obstructs the right to teaching and learning through illegal acts and actions.

Consequently, a preliminary investigation has been conducted upon the request of the Rector’s Office. As a result of this preliminary investigation, it is decided to initiate a formal disciplinary investigation. Any information or complaints you may wish to share with our Rector’s Office pertaining to this investigation will be kept strictly confidential and handled with due diligence.

It is paramount that all stakeholders of the University, including and primarily our students, stand together in the face of disciplinary and/or criminal offences like this one.

Thank you for your support and cooperation.
