APPLICATION / ADMISSION
Anyone may attend Bilkent Summer School as either an official student or a
special student. Bilkent students and students of other universities or colleges who wish
to transfer credits earned at the Summer School to their home institutions are official
students; others are special students.
All non-Bilkent students (official or special) and also Bilkent students who plan to take
an Intensive Language Course are required to fill out an application
form by 30 May 2008 (International students should fill out this application form instead). Applications of non-Bilkent students
will be processed and applicants informed of the result within a week. After approval of
their applications, students may register at the Office of the Director of the Summer
School.
Applications of Bilkent students for Intensive Language Courses will be collected by 30
May 2008, and the results will be announced on 3 June 2008. Those whose names appear on
the primary list of accepted applicants must register between 4 - 5 June at the Office of
the Foreign Languages Coordinator. Students
who fail to register during this period will lose their priority to take the course, and
the openings will be filled from the secondary list. The openings will be announced at
9:30 am on 6 June, and registration will continue on 6 June and 9 June 2008.
Bilkent students need not fill in an application form unless they intend to take an
Intensive Language Course and may register between 6 June - 9 June 2008. However, they
must be eligible to take the courses as in a regular semester.
Students dismissed from Bilkent can attend the Summer School only as special
students, and the courses they take are not counted for graduation if they later return to
Bilkent, except when dismissal is due to an error which is corrected before the end of the
Summer School.

Registration procedure
- The list of the 2008 Summer School courses can be found from the "Summer School
Offerings" link at the Summer School
website. Note that a student can enroll in at most two courses.
- 2008 Summer School registrations will be carried out based on the appointment system.
The Student Review System (SRS) will be used to collect pre-registrations and it will be
open for preregistration between 26 May, 10 am and 4 June, 5:30 pm. During the
preregistration, tuition payment situation of the students will not be considered. Tuition
payment is checked during the registration. Summer School registration appointments will
be announced through SRS on 4 June, 6 pm.
- The first phase of the registrations is online self-registration and it will be between
5 June, 10 am and 8 June, 12 pm. In this phase, students who have registration
appointments can self-register through any computer using their student-id and STARS
password. Students can not register before their registration appointment times. During
the self-registration phase, students can also make their registrations in their
departments through department secretaries. However, department secretaries cannot
register a student before his/her allocated appointment time.
- The second phase of the registrations is registrations in the departments and it will be
between 9 June, 9 am and 5th of 10 June, 2 pm. Students who want to register can
apply to their departments and department secretaries can enroll students to courses.
- At the end of the registrations in the departments phase, the Office of the Director of
Summer School decides on the courses that will be closed and marks them on the SRS system.
Finally the course replacement phase begins. The course replacement phase takes place
between 11 June, 9 am and 13 June, 5:30 pm. In this phase departments can enroll
students to new courses or they can drop closed courses from the students' course list.
After the drop operation, the tuition payment of the student is returned to the SRS
account of the student. However, students must apply to the Office of the Director of
Summer School for a refund.
- Students with full scholarship do not need to deposit money/credit to their SRS
accounts. They can preregister and register without applying to the Office of the Director
of Summer School.
- Students can pay their Summer School tuition starting from 23 May. Students should
pay their tuition at any branch or the internet page of these banks: Garanti Bank, Yapı
Kredi Bank or İş Bank. When making the payment, Bilkent Student ID number will be needed
by the bank. Students should also mention that the payment is for the Summer School.
Summer School tuition payment information is displayed on the SRS system starting from the
26 May. In the SRS accounts of the students, the payment amount and the amount usable
for course registration are displayed separately. For example, if a student who is
entitled to 20% scholarship pays 1040 YTL tuition, the amount usable for course
registration is displayed as 1300 YTL (as 1300 x 0.80 = 1040).
- Registration for the intensive foreign language courses will be carried out only by the
Office of the Foreign Languages Coordinator.

Grades received from Summer School are included in the Cumulative Grade Point Average

their standing. However, grades taken in the summer semester are included in the CGPA that
determines the standing of the students at the beginning of the fall semester.
To improve their CGPA, students may repeat the courses which they took in the previous two
semesters and from which they received a grade below C.
Students dismissed from Bilkent can attend the Summer School only as special students, and
the courses they take are not counted for graduation if they later return to Bilkent,
except when dismissal is due to an error which is corrected before the end of the Summer
School.
Students who complete their degree requirements at the end of the Summer School are
graduated from their programs.
