In our faculty, Arabic preparatory class education has started to be provided as of the 2023-2024 academic year.
The registration procedures of the students placed in our Faculty by ÖSYM are carried out through the e-Devlet system. Students who have successfully completed the registration process through the e-Devlet system do not need to come to our Faculty for registration. Students who cannot register through the e-Devlet system (those enrolled in a second university, those who graduated from high school before 2008, those who cannot obtain a high school graduation certificate due to having a single remaining course, etc.) can come to the registration address specified in the registration guide published by our university on the specified dates and complete their registration.
There is no need for students who have registered through e-Devlet to come to our Faculty for registration or to bring any documents.
During the registration made from e-Devlet, students can see their numbers.
https://obs.mehmetakif.edu.tr/ you can log in to the student information system from the address.
During each semester's course registration week, you must first select the courses you have failed from previous years and submit your course selection through obs for your advisor's approval. (Be sure to check whether it has passed the advisor's approval; you cannot continue with the courses without the advisor's approval.) Check whether your name appears on the attendance list of the courses you have taken.
To assist in solving students' educational, personal, and administrative problems and to guide students, academic advisors are appointed from among the teaching staff before the start of the academic year, based on the recommendation of the relevant unit heads and the decision of the relevant administrative boards. Academic advisors help with the registration renewal, course selection, and graduation processes of the students assigned to their responsibility, as well as with solving other problems.
Errors made during the registration renewal process can be corrected on the course drop and add (add-drop) dates specified in our University's academic calendar.
Course registration is done within the registration period specified in the academic calendar. Outside of this period, course registration cannot be done and the student cannot benefit from student rights.
The student who will cancel the registration must personally or through authorized persons with a notary public submit their petitions to the Dean's Office along with their identification. A decision by the Faculty Administrative Board is made for the student whose registration will be canceled. The student who will cancel the registration is obliged to submit the student ID to the unit's student affairs.
Students who have canceled their registration can request their high school diplomas by applying to the student affairs of our university unit if they wish.
A student who has to interrupt their education can freeze their registration for a maximum of two semesters at a time, provided that they document their excuse in accordance with valid and justifiable reasons within the first two weeks of the start of the education period and it is accepted by the faculty administrative board. Students who freeze their registration cannot benefit from student rights.
Programs are first announced on our Faculty's website. Some mandatory updates may be required in the first days of the program. Please follow our website during this period. Once the programs are finalized, they are entered into the student information system.
Student numbers are not taken into account for the opening of compulsory courses. If the number of students enrolled in elective courses is less than ten, the unit administrative board may decide not to open this course. In case the course cannot be opened due to insufficient number of enrolled students or other reasons; within the week following the add-drop period, the registration of students whose registration has been canceled is made to the available elective courses by the unit administrative board with the recommendation of the student advisor.
Course registration has not been completed or you may be taking the course in another section. You need to inform the student affairs about your situation as soon as possible.
Students can obtain their transcript/grade status document through obs and unit student affairs. However, they need to obtain their student documents through e-Devlet.

The objection application is discussed and concluded by the relevant administrative board within at most fifteen days and is announced to the student.

There are two types of horizontal transfer opportunities, based on the General Grade Point Average and the Central Placement Score. The conditions for horizontal transfer are announced on our University's website in July each year. Applications are made in August. For the Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Inter-Institutional Horizontal Transfer Directive at the Associate and Undergraduate Level, click here.
In the evaluation of the application, only the ÖSYM score of the student in the year they were placed in the registered program is taken into account, and no conditions such as success, etc. are required. If the ÖSYM score of the student in the year they registered is equal to or higher than the base score of the program they want to transfer to, it is possible for them to make a lateral transfer depending on the quota. For the Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Inter-Institutional Lateral Transfer Directive at Associate and Bachelor's Degree Level, click here.
Central placement score-based horizontal transfer cannot be done more than once. Students who transfer horizontally according to the central placement score (Additional Article 1) can return to the Higher Education Institution where they gained the right to enroll as a result of the ÖSYS Central placement in subsequent application periods. Horizontal transfer based on GANO success grade can be done more than once.
If the central placement score of the student in the year of enrollment is equal to or higher than the base score of the program they want to transfer to, the student can apply for horizontal transfer, including the preparatory class, intermediate classes, and the final year.
A student who enrolls in a program through Horizontal Transfer or Double Major can cancel their registration by submitting a horizontal transfer waiver petition before the start of the education-teaching period.
The announcement regarding the courses to be opened in the summer school within our university is announced in OBS every year in June.
