Application and Admission

For Turkish Students

Turkish students are placed into the dual diploma programs according to placement score (Y-ÖSS) from the national university entrance exam (ÖSS), which is held annually in June.  The placement score is a combination of the student’s high school GPA and exam score in the relevant subject category.  Students are placed into these programs by the national Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) as below:

1. Students complete the university entrance exam (ÖSS).

2. ÖSYM calculates the placement scores and distributes the results to students.

3. Based on the placement scores, students submit to ÖSYM a list of 24 preferred higher education programs.  When considering a program, students also refer to the published minimum scores for the previous year.

4. ÖSYM utilizes the placement scores and students’ preferences to place students into higher education programs.  To be enrolled, students must register at the relevant Turkish university during the announced registration period.

In addition, to be eligible for placement in a dual diploma program, a student must have a score of at least 210 in the relevant subject category and a minimum placement score (Y-ÖSS) of 250.

The details of all students placed in the programs are reviewed by officials at the SUNY partner campuses, in compliance with admissions regulations.
