Middle East Technical University Directive for Student
Exchanges between Ankara Campus and Northern Cyprus
Campus

This directive regulates the rules concerning the education of METU students
enrolled in the Ankara and Northern Cyprus Campuses (NCC) as one- or two-
semester exchange students at the other campus.

1- In the student exchange program, the number of exchange students from
both campuses is limited to the number of the NCC undergraduate programs
for   undergraduate   students,   and   twice   the   number   of   NCC   graduate
programs for graduate students.

2- Only students who have successfully completed their Irst year of study in
undergraduate programs and those who have completed their Irst semester
courses in graduate programs are eligible for student exchange programs. A
student can make use of this exchange program for two semesters at most
during his period of study.  

3- The provisions of being in their maximum periods of study, having both
Cumulative and Grade Point Averages of over 2.50 for undergraduate and
over 3.00 for graduate students at the beginning of the semester for which
they are applying, and not having earned the letter grades FD, FF, I or NA in
any of the courses they were enrolled in are sought for students to be able to
make use of the exchange program.

4- The applying student must not have been subject to temporary dismissal
or a higher disciplinary penalty whatsoever.

5-   The   applying   students   must   have   no   debts   or   any   Inancial   liabilities
whatsoever to the campus they are enrolled in.    

6- Students with on-leave status are not eligible for the student exchange
program.

7-   The   applications   are   evaluated   by   the   concerned   academic   unit   in   the
campus   where   the   student   is   enrolled.   The   courses   which   the   admitted
student will take each semester are determined by the concerned academic
unit   in   the   campus   where   he/she   is   enrolled,   upon   the   approval   of   the
concerned   academic   unit   in   the   campus   where   he/she   has   applied.   The
student’s registration for the new semester is carried out by the related units

of the campus where the student has applied.

8- Students who are admitted to the program must pay the tuition fee for the
campus they are enrolled in and register as an “Exchange Student” at the
campus   they   applied   to.   All   other   expenses   including   those   for   transport,
dormitory, books-stationery, passport, residence permits and daily expenses
are   to   be   covered   by   students.   Students   going   to   NCC   campus
fromAnkaramust pay the health insurance premium determined by the TRNC
Ministry of Health, and students going to the main campus in Ankara from
NCC must meet the conditions required in order to receive health services.
Depending   on   their   preference,   exchange   students   are   provided   with
accommodation in the dormitories of the concerned campus if vacancies
permit.   The   Dormitory   Scholarship   applicable   for   NCC   students   is   also
offered to the students from theAnkaracampus under the same conditions.

9- The letter grades earned by exchange students in the courses they have
taken in the other campus are entered as letter grades for the equivalent
courses of the campus where they are enrolled.   

10- In principle, it is intended that the number of exchange students admitted
from   theAnkaracampus   and   NCC   each   year   be   balanced   in   number.
Nevertheless, even if there is an imbalance in student numbers for three-year
periods, the program is carried out provided that the other conditions are
met.   At   the   end   of   each   three-year   period,   a   report   concerning   the
implementation of the program is submitted to the University Senate and, if
required, new rules are determined for the following three-year periods.   

11- This directive comes into effect on July 3, 2012, the date of its approval
by the University Senate. 

12- This directive is implemented by the units responsible for Student Affairs
on each campus.
