Dear Students, 
You can use the GPA Calculator on your BUIS page (https://registration.boun.edu.tr/buis) to enter a grade (letter grade or Pass) to any of the courses on your list and calculate your grade point average for the semester. You can even remove course(s) using the Remove button. You can go back to the original page by clicking Reset, and do as many simulations as possible. 
This way you will be able to see the effects of Pass grades as well as the letter grades on your grade point average.

Dear Students,

On April 3, 2020 the University Senate took the following decisions regarding the grading system for the spring 2020 semester, in which distance education had to be implemented due to the suspension of face-to-face education.

-It will be possible for students to receive either a letter-grade or a Pass/Fail grade in courses that are currently letter-grade courses.

-Letter grades in graduate and undergraduate courses may be changed, at the request of the student, into a Pass/Fail grade. Such changes will be allowed only once for each course.
