Registration and Paperwork

The enrolment of the new incoming international students are completed by the Erasmus Office, usually 1-2 weeks before the course registration, once the academic year officially starts. All enrolled students have an account on OBS (Student Information System), a student e-mail account, a student number and a YÖKSİS number (an official number proving that you are a student enrolled in a Turkish higher education institution). Check "online student accounts" section for more information. All students are given a student ID card (handed out by the Erasmus Office with email notification) and a student enrolment letter.
