Frequently Asked Questions

Tuition fees may be paid in full, by credit card, or via EFT/wire transfer to the bank accounts designated by the University. Subject to entering into a credit agreement with a bank and opening a credit deposit account, the tuition fee may be paid in installments according to the payment plans determined by the University. Interest is charged on installment payments, and payments are made in 10 equal installments to the designated bank’s KMH (Credit Deposit Account) account.

You can access details regarding payment plans and account information for payments via the bilgi.gedik.edu.tr website.

How Are Transfer Student Discounts Applied?

a) Students transferring within the University continue to benefit from their ÖSYM scholarships and discounts, as well as University-provided discounts, at the same rate.

b) Students transferring from another institution based on their GPA or central placement score are granted a 50% tuition discount. Students whose ÖSYS/YKS/ÖZYES score at the time of admission is sufficient for placement in the full-scholarship quota of the relevant program are granted an additional 25% discount on top of the 50% discount. No other scholarship or discount is applied under these conditions.

c) Discounts granted to transfer students remain valid throughout the normal duration of study, starting from the class and semester to which the student is adapted, including the year in which they enroll in the program.

d) No discount is granted to students transferring from universities abroad (except for students transferring from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus).

The full annual tuition fee must be paid during registration and renewal processes. However, if a student transfers to another program or institution, the tuition fee corresponding to the period not attended will be refunded in accordance with the relevant regulations and university procedures.

Principles Regarding Enrollment Freeze

(1) A student's enrollment may be frozen if they have a valid excuse approved by the relevant administrative board. The principles regarding enrollment freeze are as follows:

a) Students who wish to freeze their enrollment must apply to the relevant faculty dean's office, school, or vocational school administration with a petition stating their reason and supporting documents.

b) Students may freeze their enrollment for a maximum of 2 semesters at a time and up to 4 semesters throughout their studies, provided they have a valid excuse and approval from the relevant administrative board. Frozen periods are not counted toward the maximum duration of study. However, students undergoing medical treatment and convicted students may be granted enrollment freeze periods exceeding four semesters without affecting the maximum study period, subject to the decision of the relevant administrative board.

c) Periods spent on leave are not included in the duration of study.

ç) At the end of the leave period, the student continues their education by completing semester and course registration. Students who have been granted leave for two semesters and wish to return after the first semester must submit a petition to the relevant faculty dean's office, school, or vocational school administration before course registration begins.

d) Except in cases of natural disasters and similar extraordinary circumstances, students whose enrollment freeze request has been approved must submit their leave application before the week in which midterm examinations begin in the fall or spring semester, and the request must be approved by the relevant administrative board. Students whose enrollment freeze request has been approved are required to pay the tuition fee for the semester or academic year concerned. Enrollment freeze requests will not be processed for students who have not paid the full tuition fee. Any tuition fee paid will be credited toward the tuition fee of the following semester or academic year.

e) Students may not benefit from scholarships provided by the University during the enrollment freeze period.

(2) International students who complete their registration and attend the midterm examination within the relevant semester may continue their studies. However, international students who register after the midterm examination may have their enrollment frozen, subject to the approval of the relevant academic unit's administrative board, and may continue their studies in the following semester. In such cases, no tuition fee is charged for the frozen semester. If any payment has already been made, it will be credited toward the tuition fee of the following semester or academic year.

Registration Renewal

(1) Students are required to renew their registration at the beginning of each semester within the periods specified in the academic calendar by paying the tuition fee and fulfilling all other obligations to the University.

(2) Students who are unable to graduate within the normal period of study, as well as students who have reached the maximum period of study but are entitled to additional examinations, must also renew their registration at the beginning of each semester within the periods specified in the academic calendar by paying the tuition fee determined on a credit basis, regardless of class attendance requirements.

(3) Students who fail to renew their registration become inactive students. During the period in which they remain inactive, they may not attend classes or examinations and cannot benefit from student rights and privileges.

(4) A student who is unable to register due to a valid excuse may be allowed to register if the excuse is approved by the relevant administrative board.

(5) The period during which a student fails to complete course registration within the specified time and therefore does not attend classes is counted as absenteeism.

(6) A student who does not renew their registration at the beginning of a semester, or who fails due to absenteeism, may register during the registration period of the following semester.

(7) Students may re-register for courses they have previously taken for the purpose of improving their grades, provided that the course is offered again.

In repeated courses, the most recently earned grade is always considered valid.

Students wishing to register for courses, except those with a 100% scholarship, must complete the payment of their semester tuition fees by the payment deadline specified in the academic calendar.

Tuition fee refunds for students who withdraw their registration are processed according to the refund and deduction rates determined by the Board of Trustees.
