Horizontal Transfer

Horizontal transfer” refers to a student’s transfer from one higher education institution to another (from one university to another, or within the same university from one faculty/school/vocational school offering an equivalent program to another). In short, a horizontal transfer may take place either between universities or within a university.

For example, a student changing departments within their own university to study in a different field is considered an internal horizontal transfer. (Students may consult their academic advisors for further information on this process.)

Horizontal transfers to the faculties and schools affiliated with Osmaniye Korkut Ata University (OKU) are regulated by the respective faculty/school administrative boards in accordance with the ‘Regulation on the Principles of Horizontal Transfer Between Associate and Undergraduate Programs in Higher Education Institutions.

Horizontal Transfer Methods
 
01 Internal Horizontal Transfer Between Programs   02 Inter-Institutional Horizontal Transfer   03 Horizontal Transfer with Central Placement Score
         
Within a university, horizontal transfer may be made to equivalent-level degree programs of faculties, schools, conservatories, or vocational schools, within the quotas determined by the respective administrative board.   Transfers may take place between equivalent degree programs of higher education institutions at the same level, within the quotas announced by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK).   A student may apply if their central placement score in the year of enrollment is equal to or higher than the base score of the program they wish to transfer to. Applications are accepted until 30 August each academic year, evaluated by 15 September, and registrations must be finalized by the end of September.   Since M.T.O.K. programs in higher education institutions admit only graduates of vocational and technical education, students enrolled in these programs may apply only to the programs listed in the ÖSYS Guide of the relevant year that they are eligible to choose and be placed into.
             
Horizontal transfer quotas for each degree program, starting from the second semester up to and including the fifth semester, are determined by the respective administrative boards each year in which quotas are announced, and shall not exceed 15% of the student quota specified in the ÖSYM Guide   The student must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 60/100 in the completed semesters of the enrolled program.   In accordance with the principles set by the Higher Education Executive Board, for the 2014–2015 academic year and onwards, annual quotas are allocated up to 30% of the student quota specified in the ÖSYS Guide for each class of a degree program, including the preparatory year.  

 

For horizontal transfer applications under Additional Article-1, if there are special conditions required for admission to the program as stated in the ÖSYS Guide, applicants must also meet those conditions. If no students were admitted to the target program in the year when the applicant enrolled in their current program, no central placement base score is available for that program, and therefore transfer is not possible.

 

             
Quotas, as well as the conditions and minimum scores determined by the Senate, are announced at least 15 days prior to the application deadline.   For associate degree programs, horizontal transfer is not permitted during the preparatory year, the first semester, or the final semester.   Applications are evaluated by the relevant boards of higher education institutions. If applications exceed the quota, candidates are ranked according to their ÖSYS scores, and admissions are granted to the highest-scoring applicants up to the quota limit. Only the ÖSYS central placement scores of the year in which the student was placed in their current program are considered; no additional success criteria are required.   For transfers from programs taught in Turkish to programs conducted partly or entirely in a foreign language, students must meet the foreign language requirement. Students applying for transfer in the preparatory or first year who do not meet this requirement are required to complete a foreign language preparatory program
             
For horizontal transfer to programs that admit students through different central examination score types, the applicant’s central placement score in the relevant score type, obtained in the year of the exam, must not be lower than the lowest base score of equivalent degree programs at other universities in Turkey.   For undergraduate degree programs, horizontal transfer is not permitted during the preparatory year, the first year, or the final year, but may be allowed in other years.   For transfer applications made by students in intermediate years, if no students were placed in the target program through ÖSYS in the year of application, the quota specified in the ÖSYS Guide for the student’s year of enrollment in their current program is taken into account. Universities are not required to announce separate quotas, and applications are made before the start of each academic year, including the spring semester.   Students may transfer under Additional Article-1 only once; however, those who transfer in this way may return to the higher education institution where they were originally admitted through the central ÖSYS placement in subsequent application periods.
             
For intra-institutional horizontal transfers to degree programs that admit students through a talent-based entrance examination, in addition to the other requirements, success in the relevant talent exam is also required.   Students wishing to transfer to open or distance education programs, which are not subject to quota limitations, must apply to the relevant higher education institution no later than the end of office hours on the last day of the first week of September   For students placed through the Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS), the application is evaluated based on the DGS Guide of the relevant year, considering the associate degree field of study and the DGS score of the student.   Students admitted through a special talent examination may apply for horizontal transfer using their central placement score. However, horizontal transfer into programs that admit students through a special talent exam is not permitted.
Vertical Transfer

Vertical transfer refers to the enrollment of students who have graduated from two-year associate degree programs at vocational schools or from the Open Education Faculty into four-year undergraduate programs in order to continue their education at the bachelor’s level.
