2025-2026 Academic Year Summer School Announcement

Students who wish to take courses in the Summer School are required to pay attention to the following matters.

Students Taking Courses at Sakarya University

1. Students in graduation status (those who have completed eight semesters and have no failed or incomplete courses in their curriculum except for Internship I, Internship II, Design, and Graduation Project courses) may take Internship I, Internship II, Design, and Graduation Project courses during the summer school.

In order for the Design and Graduation Project courses to be taken together, they must be conducted by different advisors.
Students who take Internship I, Internship II, Design, or Graduation Project courses at Sakarya University cannot take courses from another university during the same summer term.

2. Students with a GPA of 3.00 or above may take courses offered in the summer school, as approved (Senate Principles Article 7-2 and Summer School Regulation Article 11).

Course registration dates: 1-2-3 July 2026
Course start date: 6 July 2026
Submission date: 11 September 2026
Exam dates: 14-15 September 2026

Applications must be submitted in person to the department secretariat using the attached “Make-up Course Registration Form.”

Important Notes

Students may benefit from the Summer School only after successfully completing courses such as Graduation Project, Design, or Internship, and only if they are eligible for the “3-course exam” right. However, students cannot apply for the Summer School if the courses to be taken in the three-course exam have never been taken before or if they were previously failed with a DZ grade.
