PLAN
The International Trade and Finance Department consists of Program Compulsory Courses determined in the “Yaşar University Associate and Undergraduate Education-Teaching and Examination Regulations,” which includes University Compulsory Courses and YÖK (Higher Education Council) Compulsory Courses, as well as Elective Courses in the Field.
An education plan has been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Bologna process and the simplification rules of our university’s undergraduate programs. The plan defines the list of compulsory courses that students must take each semester to graduate, the total credits of elective courses, along with any prerequisites, and the total credits required. Program Outcomes (Program Competencies) specify the knowledge, skills, and competencies that students will acquire until graduation. Our department page contains information on Minor and Double Major programs, program prerequisites, and application requirements. Universities with which we have agreements under the Erasmus program are listed on our website. Information on department internship opportunities, internship application requirements and prerequisites, and internship advisor details are also available on our page. The curriculum planning took into account the course schedules of national and international prestigious universities, and our curriculum was designed by considering the competencies expected from our graduates by industry representatives. The course schedule for the Spring semester of the 2022-23 Academic Year was prepared by Course Program Responsible persons in accordance with the principles and schedule determined by the Central Academic Planning Coordination, and it was entered into the Yaşar University Management System (YUMS).
DO
Our undergraduate, Minor, and Double Major students made their course selections through the Student Information System (OBS) during the course registration dates specified in the Yaşar University Academic Calendar for the Spring semester. The courses registered by students were approved by their academic advisors and confirmed on the days specified in the Course Registration Calendar determined by the Student Affairs Directorate. Undergraduate students made their course selections within the scope of the “Yaşar University Associate and Undergraduate Education-Teaching and Examination Regulations.” Double Major and Minor students also registered within the scope of the “Double Major and Minor Education-Teaching Directive.” Transfers between associate and undergraduate programs, Double Major, Minor, and inter-institutional credit transfers were made in accordance with the regulations regarding the principles of transfer stipulated by the directive.
CHECK
As a result of the adjustments made for the students who registered with horizontal and vertical transfers in accordance with the “Regulation on the Principles of Transfer, Double Major, Minor, and Inter-Institutional Credit Transfer between Associate and Undergraduate Programs in Higher Education Institutions” and the “Yaşar University Associate and Undergraduate Education-Teaching and Examination Regulations,” it was determined that there were deficits in ECTS credits due to the YÖK Compulsory and University Compulsory Courses from which they were exempt. Consequently, these students are obliged to take more elective courses within this framework.
ACT
The academic advisors evaluated general issues that could arise before registration, and precautions were taken to ensure that students do not encounter problems during the registration period.
- In this context, the registrations of International Trade and Finance Department students were conducted in accordance with the “Yaşar University Associate and Undergraduate Education-Teaching and Examination Regulations.” Within this framework, academic advisors of the International Trade and Finance Department ensured that students first take the compulsory courses they have failed, and subsequently, students gained the right to take courses from the current semester for the remaining credit amounts.
- To prevent issues with the credits of elective courses that students need to take, a proportional number of elective courses were opened based on the number of students, and quotas suitable for the student count were determined.
- To minimize the hardship of students during course registrations, care was taken to avoid conflicts in the compulsory courses of the same semester.
