The final grade of a course is the sum total of %30 of the midterm grade and %70 of the final or the retake examination grades.

As a result of the calculation, if the value after the decimal is less than five, the grade is finalized by lowering it to the decimal value; if more than five, upgrading it to the next decimal value. The regulations can be found on http://oidb.nku.edu.tr/yonetmenlik/2011eos.pdf. Final and retake grades are submitted to the Student Affairs along with the evaluation criteria.
