5. Laboratories
Courses offered in construction materials, hydraulics, soil mechanics, structures,
transportation, construction management and drawing are supported with
experimental work in the laboratories. Although hands-on laboratory work is the
major objective, some experiments can only be demonstrated. A written report,
generally including analysis and interpretation of data, is required. In some cases, an
oral presentation is also required at the end of a laboratory work. Interested
students are always welcome to work in the laboratory and gain more experience.
These students are encouraged to take higher level courses as area electives to
further enhance their laboratory skills.
6. Other Facilities
6.1 Departmental Library
Civil Engineering Department has a library being supplementary one to the university
main library (zay Oral Library). It contains mainly civil engineering books, journals
and proceedings. Students can use them in place during day time. University main
library has many opportunities for the students. In addition to the nominal book
collection in the field of civil engineering on campus of EMU, books and journals in
many other libraries can be obtained through inter-library loan services. The On-Line
Database at the central library provides access to the publications of many
professional organizations, such as the IMO, TUBITAK, EMU, and Anadolu University.
The Department has its own library providing some reference books.
6.2 Construction Club
Civil Engineering Construction Club is a formal activity club of students to organize
social, cultural and academic activities for them. The activities start with the
orientation program at the beginning of the academic year and continue with
seminars, conferences, and field trips. They arrange a diner party each semester and
the traditional Civil Engineering Week in May of each year. During this week the
professionals are invited to deliver seminars about the real engineering life, and
problems in construction sites besides social and cultural activities.

Foreign Students:
All foreign students having secondary school diploma are accepted to the
department.
All Students:
All students, whether Turkish or foreign, who have been admitted to the program are
required to take the EMU University English Proficiency Test. Those who pass this
test can enrol in Freshman Courses. Those who fail are admitted to the School of
Foreign Languages to study English for a period of up to two years. These students
can continue their undergraduate studies only upon successful completion of their
English preparatory year.
30
where a student has been authorized to delay completion of course work past the
normal end-of-term, the an "I" (incomplete) grade may be given until a formal grade
is reported by latest one week before the starting date of the following semester. For
project courses this date cannot be extended beyond the above mentioned deadline.
Achievement in a non-credit-hour course is indicated by the symbol "S" (satisfactory)
or "U" (unsatisfactory).

In the case of repeated course work, the last grade earned is considered the official
course grade. No grade-point equivalent is assigned for the notations I, W, S, and U.
11.2 Evaluation of a Course
A course is said to have been successfully completed if a student, obtains a grade of
A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D or S. A course in which a student receives a grade of
D-, F, NG or U is not satisfactorily completed, and the student is required to repeat
such a course in the next semester if it is offered. A letter grade E (exemption) which
will not contribute to GPA and CGPA calculations will be awarded for the courses of
the students transferred from other institutions based on Departments transfer
criteria.
Students must repeat required courses for which they have received a grade of D-, F,
NG and U during the earliest semester the courses are offered. Students who have
received D-, F or NG grade from an elective course must repeat that course in the
first semester it is offered or take an equivalent course. In this case, the grade
received in the new course replaces the D-, F or NG, but the previous grade will
appear in the student's academic records. Depending on students academic standing
she/he must repeat courses with letter grades C- or below until his/her academic
status improved to satisfactory level as defined in By-laws of the Senate.
Depending on students entrance year there are two different categories that classify
their academic status.

and an orientation program describing the registration and academic rules and
procedures of the University.
The students are constantly encouraged to meet with their advisors regularly to
discuss their academic/social affairs and general well-being. Each student demand
including registration, add-drop, withdrawal, credit overload or underload, and
enrolment in a student exchange program, must be first approved by the advisor
before submittal of an application to the Deans Office. The on-line registration
system allows the advisor to keep a file for each student, including copies of the
registration forms, records of add-drops and withdrawals, flowchart of curriculum
course content showing the prerequisite chain, and semester grade records and
transcripts.
Few students with disabilities and/or having emotional problems need special
advisor-student interaction. Advisors act as frontline resource in advising the
students to seek help at the University Counselling Office (PDRAM).

members of the civil engineering department. The number of the exempted courses
determines the students academic term. Therefore utmost care is taken so that the
transfer students do not fall into a warning status with the number of exempted
courses. In no case courses with grades F, D- and NG are exempted. The existing
grades for the exempted courses are placed as they are (with no change) to their
new transcripts.
13.2 Transfers from Other Universities
This type of transfer may be from the civil engineering departments of other
universities or from other engineering faculties of universities. Two different groups
of students may apply for this type of transfer.
A- Turkish Nationals
B- Other Nationalities
A. Turkish Nationals
These applicants are subdivided into two categories:
1. Students attending university level institutions
2. Graduates of two-year vocational schools
36
courses does not exceed the half of the total number of courses required
by the civil engineering department of the Eastern Mediterranean
University.
iii. Students attending departments other than civil engineering and whose
entrance examinations marks conducted by Turkish Higher Educational
Council (YK), is equivalent to the mark required to enter civil engineering
departments in the year of their registration. Additional requirements for
such students are that their CGPA must be minimum 2.00 and must not
have failed courses in their transcript. The courses taken at their previous
university are considered and equivalents ones are given exemptions (E
letter grade). CGPA requirements are not taken into consideration in
these cases. But the number of exempted courses should not exceed the
half of the total number of courses required by the civil engineering
department of the Eastern Mediterranean University.
iv. Students attending departments of civil engineering and whose entrance
examinations marks conducted by Turkish Higher Educational Council
(YK), is equivalent to the mark required to enter civil engineering
departments in the year of their registration. Additional requirements for
such students are that their CGPA must be minimum 2.00 and must not
have failed courses in their transcript. The courses taken at their previous
university are considered and equivalents ones are given exemptions (E
letter grade). CGPA requirements are not taken into consideration in
these cases. But the number of exempted courses does not exceed the
half of the total number of courses required by the civil engineering
department of the Eastern Mediterranean University.
2. Graduates of two-year vocational schools
Two groups of applicants exist in this category.
i. Student that have passed the special exam (DGS) given by the Turkish
Higher Educational Council (YK). This exam is for graduates of two-year
vocational schools. Any student transferred through this special system is
given exemption for approximately half of the courses (E letter grade) in
the first and second year curriculum of the civil engineering. Such
students are in probation until they complete all the courses of the first
37
and second year curriculum that they are being assigned to. These
exempted courses are approved by the departmental faculty board. The
remaining courses (the assigned ones) must be completed within three
semesters plus one additional summer term if the student needs. The
probation status is lifted if the student passes all these assigned courses.
These students have the right to fail in maximum two courses at the end
of their probation period. If a student is unsuccessful in more than two
courses then automatic dismissal from the university follows. During
his/her probation period the academic warning criteria are not applied.
ii. Students who graduated from vocational schools but instead of attending
the special exam (DGS) but attended and passed the entrance
examination (SYM) given by the Turkish Higher Educational Council
(YK): These students are given exemption in approximately one quarter
of the courses in the first and second year of the civil engineering
curriculum. The exemptions (E letter grades) are subject to the approval
of the departmental faculty board. University regulations for students
progress are applied to these transfer students.
B. Other Nationalities
Students accepted for transfer to the civil engineering department are given
exemptions (E letter grades) for several courses that they have succeeded in their
previous departments or faculties. The exemptions are granted by the transfer
committee of the civil engineering department and approved by the
departmental faculty board. The number of the exempted courses determines the
students academic term. Therefore utmost care is taken so that the transfer
students do not fall into a warning status with the number of exempted courses.
In no case courses with failing grades are exempted. There is no CGPA restriction
for these students. In these cases the number of exempted courses does not
exceed the half of the total number of courses required by the civil engineering
department of the Eastern Mediterranean University.
