        Registration Dates for Postgraduate Degrees:

1. International students who do not continue their education by not selecting courses for two consecutive years and not paying fees will have their registrations deleted by the university decision.
2. The YÖKSİS statuses of international students who have an unlimited right to take an exam due to failing a course should not benefit from their student rights so their status will be shifted to "passive".
3. International students who enrolled in programs with the Turkish language as the medium of instruction and receive Turkish Preparatory Class education at centres such as TÖMER, etc., will have their classes reported as "Preparatory Class" in their (YÖKSİS) registration.
4. The registration of students continuing their education at TÖMER will be named "Higher Education Turkish Preparatory Class Students (Yükseköğretim Türkçe Hazırlık Sınıfı Öğrencisi)”. 
5. TÖMER students who are not registered in a higher education program will not be transferred to YÖKSİS, and they will be registered as "Turkish Trainees".
6. YÖKSİS submissions of international students who have the right to be a student but do not register for courses for the semester because they do not have a course to take will be recorded as "active" and problems such as not being able to obtain residence/deportation that students may experience due to passive student status will be prevented. 
7. Students will be able to deregister and transfer once in an academic year due to the planning, residence and similar problems occurring from international students’ deregistering and transferring process. 
8. International students who have come or will arrive in our country will have to obtain the Social Security Institution General Health Insurance (GSS) during their registration at the university. Students will pay the necessary premiums to the Social Security Institution and submit the GSS document to the responsible officials at universities by adding it to their school registration and residence application files.
