(2) The decision on whether students who cannot attend the midterm exams are considered excused is made by the relevant unit's administrative board. The principles regarding excuses are as follows:

a) If students have valid and justified reasons for their excuses, they must submit the supporting documents related to their excuse specified in the first paragraph, along with a petition, to their unit within three working days following the end of the midterm exams. The excuses are evaluated by the unit's administrative board on the fourth working day and announced on the fifth working day.

b) Applications not made within the specified period are not accepted.

c) For students who experience severe illness, accident, severe illness or death of a first-degree relative, natural disasters, and similar situations before the start of the excuse midterm exams, the application period specified in (a) is not considered, and the evaluation is made by the unit's administrative board.

ç) A student whose excuse is accepted by the relevant unit's administrative board cannot take exams during the period from the occurrence of the excuse until its end, and any exams taken during this period are canceled.

d) The health reports that students will receive from health institutions must include the date and time of the occurrence of the excuse.

Excuse exams for students who cannot attend the midterm exams and whose excuse applications are accepted are held within the second week following the end of the midterm exams.

The list of those whose excuses are accepted is announced on the sbmyo homepage. In the second week following the end of the exams, please contact the instructor of the relevant course regarding the exam day and time.
