Interinstitutional Horizontal Transfer Application Timeline

WARNING: Since candidates can make only one preference, program selection is made at the beginning of the application process. To complete the application, it is sufficient to click "SAVE AND CONTINUE" without making any selection in the "Preferred Programs" section.

NOTE: Application evaluations will be done by the student affairs and adaptation commissions of the relevant academic units. Please contact the academic unit where you applied for further information.

EVALUATION AND PLACEMENT

Applications are evaluated based on the formula below to calculate the Evaluation Score (DEP):

DEP = [(Z/Y) × CGPA]

Z = Central placement score of the student in the year they enrolled in the university,

Y = Central placement base score of the program applied to in the year the student enrolled in the university.

Candidates with DEP scores of 3.25 and above are ranked from highest to lowest. In case of equal scores, priority is given based on CGPA, then Z, then Z/Y. If still equal, a draw is held.

NOTE: Application evaluations will be done by the student affairs and adaptation commissions of the relevant academic units. Please contact the academic unit where you applied for more information.

NOTE: Horizontal transfer applications based on Central Placement Scores (Additional Article-1) will be accepted between August 1 – August 15, and will be announced on our website.
