According to the article 46 of Yükseköğretim Kanunu, No. 2547,
education in higher education institutions is subjected to tuition fee
(contribution to education costs) and all the students attending higher
education pay a different tuition fee according to the program type,
status, term and features. This fee covers supplying a part of
education costs by students (contribution to costs). Tuition fees are
determined differently in public and private universities.
Determination methods of these fees are bound to a legal framework.
Education fees in private universities are determined by board of
trustees (Yükseköğretim Kanunu, No. 9). Public universities are not
entitled to determine their own tuition fees, tuition fees are
determined centrally by the Board of Ministries and fees for the same
program do not differ from one institution to another. Determination of
the tuition fees in public universities are based on conducting of
education program either within the scope of normal day education or
second shift (evening) education as bilateral education. Fees for
normal day education programs are determined by the article No. 46 of
the Yükseköğretim Kanunu and for the programs within the scope of
second education by the articles 7 and 14 of the Yükseköğretim
Kurumlarında İkili Öğretim Yapılması Hakkında Kanun, No. 3843).
The
article 46 of the Yükseköğretim Kanunu, No. 2547 foresees the
arrangement below on education fees: Current service costs in higher
education institutions are determined per student by Yükseköğretim
Kurulu (YÖK) in different amounts considering the features of the
education branches and terms and the properties of the higher education
institutions. A part of this amount to be determined by Cabinet are
supplied by the government and registered as appropriation in the
concerned higher educational institution' budget in the name of the
student. Rest of the amount is paid by the student. The amount to be
supplied by the government can not be less than half of the current
service costs.
Also students who are unable to pay finish their
programs within the normal durations are foreseen to pay more fees.
Again according to the same article excluding preparatory school and
foreign language development programs students who are unable to be
graduated from 2-year associate degree and 4, 5, 6 year bachelor’s
degree programs at the end of these terms continue to get public
contributions. Student contribution is increased 50% for the first
additional year and 100% more for the subsequent years. On bachelor’s
degree level it is concluded that students who continue to their second
higher education student contribution is taken by 100% surplus.
Students who do not pay their tution fees are not registered or their
registers are not renewed.
Practices to date show that tuition fees for normal formal education program do not exceed 10% of the current costs.
Within
the scope of bilateral tuition fees for second educational associate
degree, bachelor's degree and graduate degree programs are determined
in accordance with the Yükseköğretim Kurumlarında İkili Öğretim
Yapılması Hakkında Kanun, No. 3843. The 7. Article of the Law is for
determining the fees for second educational associate degree and
bachelor's degree programs within the bilateral education. This article
foresees that tuition fees which students that admit to second shift
(evening) education pay are determined by the Cabinet Council in
accordance with the features of the educational branches (social
sciences, sciences, fine arts etc.), properties and terms of the higher
education institutions also considering the student costs upon taking
YÖK’s opinion and Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı (MEB)’s recommendation. It is
concluded that receivable fees cannot be less than half of the current
service costs that are determined for normal day education programs.
The
14. Article of this law sets the charging form for the second shift
(evening) master degree programs. This article foresees that tuition
fees to be paid by students admitted to second shift (evening)
education master degree programs are determined considering the costs
by YÖK upon suggestion by the administrative board of the concerned
university or high technology institute.
Excluding the above
mentioned tuition fees higher education institutions with the approval
of Yükseköğretim Kurulu (YÖK) collect fees from the students that
attend summer schools as per number of lectures they attend and
credits. Application principles and methods of this practice are
determined by YÖK. The amount of these fees is determined by YÖK every
year so that they don’t exceed twice as much the annual student
contribution share that is set as per faculties and programs. Summer
school’s maximum fee for course hour to be collected from the students
who are registered in second shift education and attend summer school
is determined so that it will not exceed twice as much the summer
school’s maximum fee for course hour that are determined for students
who are registered in normal day education by same faculty and program
names.
It is foreseen that education fees are to be paid either
in cash or in two equal installments one at the registration or renewal
and other at the beginning of the second term. Excluding the above
mentioned education fee students do not pay extra fees for
registration, examination etc.
