IMPORTANT NOTE:

BUEPT grading criteria have been revised. With the new regulation effective as of 2023 Academic Year, C grade is divided into C and C+. You can find the revised grading system in the announcement on the YADYOK website.

According to the new grading system, students who have a compulsory AE 111 course in the first semester of their undergraduate program (such as students in Physics Education, Mathematics, Chemistry departments) who pass BUEPT with a "C" must take AE 101 courses instead of AE 111.

According to the BUEPT exams held in May 2023, August 2023 and September 2023, students with "C" and "C+" grades were determined. According to these determinations, the students who are required to take AE 101 among the students who have AE 111 as a compulsory course in their undergraduate program have been determined.

You can find out if there is a compulsory AE 111 course in your program from the "services -> departmental programs" section at registration.boun.edu.tr or from your department's website.
