Dear Students,
In order to ensure that the course registration process for the 2025–2026 Fall semester runs smoothly, the following rules determined by the Department of Electrical Engineering are announced.
Important Note: Students in Double Major (ÇAP) and Minor programs, as well as students who cannot take courses for conditional reasons, must submit their petitions to the Electrical Engineering Department Secretariat by 10:00 on Monday, October 6, 2025.
Other course-related petitions (ELK, EHB and KOM) must be submitted in person to the relevant Department Secretariats within the dates and rules stated below.
1. Registrations will be open to all undergraduate students on the dates specified or to be specified in the academic calendar and announcements on http://www.sis.itu.edu.tr. It is important that you follow all updates regarding registration dates in this way.
2. Since it is planned that the quotas of compulsory courses will be appropriately increased by the Registrar’s Office (ÖİDB) on the specified dates, no issues are expected in registering for compulsory courses. Therefore, please check all sections of the relevant compulsory course. If there are available seats in the sections, no further quota increases will be made. If there are available seats in the English sections, 30% of the students from Turkish sections are also required to register for the English sections. Some English sections may be opened to ELK students during the add-drop week.
Students who could not be placed in Turkish sections during the initial registration week must register for English sections with available quotas during the add-drop week.
3. The first two weeks of the semester (September 29, 2025, 10:00 – October 10, 2025, 17:00) have been designated as the add-drop week for courses in the curriculum. Students who could not register for their desired courses before the semester begins may change their courses during this period, provided that there are available seats. This week also serves as the late registration period, with penalty, for students who could not register for any courses on time due to various reasons.
4. ELK students, as well as ELK double major (ÇAP), Engineering Completion, and similar program students who are unable to register for courses during the add-drop week due to systemic issues such as prerequisite requirements, may submit a signed and printed petition within the framework of the rules stated below. (Important Note: Petitions sent by e-mail will not be processed.)
a. The collection period for petitions prepared in accordance with the rules (signed and printed) by the Department of Electrical Engineering Secretariat is between Monday, October 6, 2025, 08:00 and Tuesday, October 7, 2025, 10:00.
b. Course registration requests submitted via support tickets will not be taken into consideration.
c. Students are not required to obtain additional approval from the Faculty Members of our Faculty (except for courses they wish to take from Faculty Members outside the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics).
d. It is important that you attach to your petition your current weekly course schedule obtained from Kepler, your current transcript obtained from Kepler, and, if not being able to take the course will cause issues with your graduation, the “What is left for my graduation” document.
e. After submitting your petition, if you enroll in another course at the same time or if you manage to register for the requested course due to vacancies, it is important that you promptly inform the ELK Department Secretariat for the sake of the process. If you are enrolled in another course at the same time as the course you wish to take, your registration cannot be processed. Please make sure to indicate in your petition whether you are a 100% English or 30% English student.
f. Do not submit a petition to transfer your registration from one section of a course to another. The Department will not be responsible for any possible confusion that may arise in such cases.
g. It is important that you do not use expressions such as “If I am accepted to this course, I want the other course to be removed” in your petitions. Course deletion can only be carried out by the student. If the Department deems it appropriate for you to take the course, it is only authorized to approve your request. The acceptance list announced on the Department’s website will also be submitted to the Faculty Student Affairs Office.
h. Petitions are evaluated separately for each course. Since the time is very limited, special requests (such as disregarding another petition if one course is accepted) may be overlooked. Therefore, submit petitions only for the courses you absolutely need to take. Otherwise, unexpected conflicts may occur. If you register for another course at the same time after submitting your petition and your petition is accepted, it is your responsibility to drop the overlapping course.
i. The registrations that have been accepted are processed into the system by the Registrar’s Office (ÖİDB). In case you are unable to register due to delays or other registration issues that may occur beyond the authority of the Department, even though your petition has been accepted, please contact the Faculty Student Affairs Office or the Registrar’s Office (ÖİDB) officials.
j. For petitions submitted for compulsory courses and multi-section elective courses, the section in which the student will be registered will be determined by the Dean’s Office or the Department Chair based on the occupancy rates of all sections. If all sections are completely full, students will be distributed and registered in accordance with the arrangements deemed appropriate by the Dean’s Office and/or the Department Chair. For sections without any changes in day and time, the CRN selection will be made by the Department. Therefore, please do not specify a CRN in your petition for courses that have available seats.
