Our students who have GRE/GMAT scores instead of an ALES score must enter the ALES equivalents of their GRE/GMAT scores into the system. A period of 5 years must not have expired as of the date applications commence. ALES conversion table |

YDS, e-YDS, YÖKDİL/e-YÖKDİL: Valid for 5 years from the exam date.
Attention! In our Programs that require a ' foreign language certificate', there is no score threshold, but a certificate from a valid exam (specified above) must absolutely be available. There is no Conditional Application.
The YDS equivalents of Language Scores whose equivalencies are accepted by ÖSYM must be entered into the Application System. A period of 2 years must not have expired as of the date applications commence. (Equivalencies of Foreign Language Exams by ÖSYM) Since the IELTS equivalency has been revoked, this score is no longer valid for applications. |

| Graduation Information | Candidates perform actions on the system using their education information retrieved from the YÖKSİS database. Please check your education information at the following web address: https://www.turkiye.gov.tr/yuksekogretim-mezun-belgesi-sorgulama. |
|
WARNING: For applications from candidates who have graduated or will graduate from higher education institutions in Turkey (only for Master's applications), the candidate's program information retrieved from YÖKSİS is used as the basis. Since the Cumulative Grade Point Average retrieved from YÖKSİS will be used in the evaluation, it is crucial that the candidates' Grade Point Averages are up to date in YÖKSİS and that all other information retrieved from the system matches the uploaded document. Otherwise, candidates must contact their universities and ensure that the necessary updates are made. In Master's applications, Bachelor's Graduates and senior Bachelor's students can complete their applications. In PhD applications, Master's Graduates can complete their applications. |

Turkish candidates who have completed their Undergraduate or Graduate Education abroad: For their Graduation Information to be entered into the Application System by the Institute, they must send their TR ID/Candidate Number, the Name of the Applied Program, Higher Education Council Equivalence/School Recognition Certificate, Diploma, Graduation Transcript, and Certified Turkish Translations to the email address insnorom@gazi.edu.tr.

| Documents |
If the candidate is applying with an exam result whose YDS and ALES equivalence is accepted, they must upload their document to the 'Exam certificate equivalent to YDS' and 'Exam Certificate Equivalent to ALES' sections. In programs where a Pedagogical Formation and Working Certificate is requested, it must be uploaded to the 'Pedagogical Formation Certificate' section. Only files with a .pdf extension and that are legible must be uploaded. Since Turkish Citizen Identity Information, graduation information, ALES, YDS, e-YDS, YÖKDİL, and e-YÖKDİL results can be retrieved from the system, there is no need to upload these documents separately. However, since exams equivalent to ALES and YDS, as well as the graduations of our online International and Graduated Abroad candidates, cannot be retrieved from the system, they must upload all their documents completely. WARNING: Our candidates must ensure that the documents they upload to the Application System are complete and correct. Since no additional documents will be requested during the final registration stage, if an error/deficiency is encountered in the documents checked during final registration, all responsibility will belong to the candidate. |
| Preference Procedures | The evaluation of each program applied for by the candidate is calculated independently. |
| In Institute graduate applications, it is not possible to apply to more than one thesis graduate program at the same time, excluding non-thesis master's programs. | |
| Candidates have a total of 2 choice preferences in their graduate applications to Gazi University Institutes, excluding non-thesis master's programs. | |
| Control and Approval Procedure | Candidates are required to approve the Application Approval (I Accept) Text and the Final Registration Commitment Text in the system. Applications that are not approved within the due date will not be considered. WARNING: When the candidate makes any correction or transaction in their application, the application approval is automatically canceled. Therefore, the candidate must provide application approval after each adjustment. |
