Important Notes:

• There are no fees special students have to pay.
• Students should be careful about schedules of the courses. The courses students want to enroll in should not be held simultaneously.
• ITU Graduate School students cannot enroll in any courses as a special student.
• Special students will be able to document their grades with a transcript at the end of the semester.
• Students’ own institute can have its regulation for taking a course as a special student, so it is advisable to contact their institute first and act accordingly.
• If the registered institute approves the student to take courses from ITU as a special student, it should notify this officially. Accordingly, ITU sends the course grades student takes to the related institute at the end of the semester.
