Applicant categories, required documents and step-by-step enrollment

1. Domestic (YKS/ÖSYM-placed) applicants — checklist and process

Before registration:

• Confirm placement via ÖSYM/YÖK results.
• Prepare e-Devlet credentials for online registration (yok-universite-ekayit.turkiye.gov.tr).

Registration windows:

• Electronic registration: 11–15 September 2025.
• In-person registration: 11–17 September 2025.

Documents commonly required at registration:

• ID / national identity documentation.
• Placement notification printouts.
• Military service documentation (where applicable).
• Proof of fee payment (first instalment or deposit).

Post-registration:

• Obtain student number via the university portal (esorgulama.yeditepe.edu.tr).
• Complete orientation, course enrolment and fee instalment plans (example first tuition payment date: 5 November 2025 — confirm program-specific amounts).

Practical tip: automate e-Devlet reminders and follow-up confirmations to reduce no-shows during in-person windows.

2. International applicants (non-ÖSYM) — checklist and timeline

International applicants follow an online application, conditional offer, deposit, document verification, and final registration process.

Essential application documents (prepare digital and originals):

• High school diploma and certified transcript (translated and notarised if required).
• Passport copy (photo page).
• Curriculum Vitae (if requested for postgraduate).
• Language proficiency evidence (English/Turkish) or willingness to sit the university language exam.
• Passport-sized photos and other identification forms.

Typical steps:

1. Submit online application through the international admissions portal.
2. Receive conditional acceptance letter (may include language exam instructions).
3. Pay tuition deposit to secure the place (amounts vary by program).
4. Present original documents at the Registrar’s Office during in-person registration windows for ID issuance and final enrolment.
5. Apply for student residence permit and start visa process early — consulate processes can add several weeks.

Operational advice for agents and recruiters:

• Prioritise early application submission to accommodate document verification and visa timelines.
• Offer bundled services: document translation, notarisation, and visa assistance.
• Track conditional acceptances and convert with personalised communications and automated invoice reminders.

3. Transfer students (DGS) — timeline and specifics

• DGS additional placements: 22–23 October 2025 (until 23:59 via e-Devlet).
• Required documents: prior higher education transcripts, diploma (or proof of expected graduation), equivalency paperwork if required.
• Action steps: apply through the DGS placement system, confirm placement, register via e-Devlet or in-person during the designated window.

4. Exchange students (Erasmus and bilateral) — nomination & application flow

• Erasmus Fall nominations: 15 March – 15 June; applications close 30 June.
• Erasmus Spring nominations: 15 September – 15 December; applications close 30 December.
• Nomination by home university is mandatory — advise partner institutions early.
• Fall semester teaching: September–December; exams in January. Spring teaching: February–May; exams in June.
• Documents: Learning Agreement (incoming/outgoing), transcript, passport copy, proof of nomination.
• Operational best practice: publish cut-off dates for learning agreement approvals and host-university course match to prevent late adjustments.

Document and payment checklist — what to gather before registration

Mandatory items (general)

• Valid ID or passport copy.
• Academic transcripts and diplomas (originals for in-person verification).
• Language test scores OR willingness to undertake the university language exam.
• Proof of deposit or first tuition instalment.
• Visa/residence permit application documents (for internationals).
• Any program-specific certificates (health, professional licenses).

Payment and instalments

Tuition payment plans vary by program. Confirm exact figures with the Registrar. Example first tuition instalment date: 5 November 2025 (confirm program-specific amounts).

Scholarship and discounted fee processes: ensure scholarship award letters and deposit schedules are communicated to students (for example, scholarship dormitory deposit payments between 10–15 September 2025).

Common risks, delays and mitigation strategies for recruiters and admissions teams

Risk 1 — Late applications and missed visa windows

Mitigation:

• Set internal deadlines 4–6 weeks earlier than university cut-offs to accommodate visa timelines.
• Use Study in Turkiye workflows to trigger application completion nudges.

Risk 2 — Incomplete documentation at in-person verification

Mitigation:

• Provide a downloadable “Document Checklist” PDF in candidate communications and require preliminary uploads before in-person registration.
• Offer assisted document scanning and translation services through partner agencies.

Risk 3 — Confusion about e-Devlet registration steps

Mitigation:

• Produce step-by-step screencasts and procedural checklists for e-Devlet registration.
• Offer live clinic sessions during registration weeks (virtual or on-campus).
