Orientation Week
As you are in a new country, city and university, we expect
you to ask many questions. The very time to get answers
for your questions is the during Orientation Week organized
for Incoming students at the beginning of the fall and spring
semesters. It is obligatory that you join the orientation
because a lot of practical information about studying and
other issues will be available. You will get to know your
fellow students, tutors, professors, the university and the
city of Ankara. Therefore, it is the starting point of an
adventurous period of survival. The orientation programme
includes general info about the university, campuses,
grading system of Hacettepe University, teaching and
learning methods, visit to different sites within the campus
eg.library, bank,post office, rules for housing and social
events and excursions. The orientation week is organised by
the European Union Office.
Examinations in General
Each semester students are required to take at least
two mid-terms and a final examination for each course.
Sometimes your professors may require you to do a
presentation and prepare a project instead of mid-term
exams or final exams. There are no re-sit exams and if the
students fail a course they have to repeat the course next
semester/year. In some faculties the first year courses
are prerequisite to third year courses; if the students fail
in any of these courses they cannot take any of the third
year courses.
