INSTRUCTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL SPECIAL STUDENT APPLICANTS

 

Special students are those who are allowed to take some courses, although they are not enrolled in one of the programs in the university. No diplomas or titles are given to special students. However, they can get official transcripts at the end of each semester. If they are accepted as a graduate student to METU later, the grades which are approved by the concerned administrative committee can be added to their grade point average.

 

Students curently enroled in other universities or institutions of higher education, or who have graduated from such institutions, may apply to attend specific courses at METU as special students. Applicants must have appropriate documents (degrees, transcripts) that they are attending, or have attended, universities and institutions of higher education. Persons who have been dismissed from any institution of higher education for disciplinary reasons or because of failing grades are not eligible.

 

Applicants must fill the application form and list the course(s) at METU they wish to attend. Approval of the course instructor and the chairperson of the Department are required.
