Answer 2:

Graduate students who have attended to a graduate program in METU or another university can apply to be exempted from the equivalent courses, which they have taken and passed in their previous programs. These students should write a petition addressing to their department and along with their official transcript, submit it to the Department Chair, during the first semester, in which they have been accepted to METU. Courses that are accepted for exemption by the Administrative Committee of the concerned Graduate School will be given "non-credit" status and will not be included in the computation of the CGPA.
