The grade you have received from a make-up exam is computed as your final exam grade by your professor.

As soon as you come to the exam room and receive the exam questions, you are offically considered to have taken the exam.Even if you hand in a blank answer sheet, the grade you receive for this very exam will be computed as your final grade.
11. What else should I be aware of?
- When there is any change on your final grade because of any reason like objection (etc.) for your any course, the other make-up exams that you can take might be changed. In this circumstances, make-up exams you took before that you had no rights to take, will be invalid. For example, while a student with 1,99 GPA could take make-up exams for all his/her courses with (C-) or lower grades before the objection, if his/her grade gets higher for any course and his/her GPA becomes 2,00 after the objection, he/she can take make-up exams for courses with (F) grades only. Student information system, controls all these changes dynamically, and your exam list that you can take might be changed. You should follow up the changes in “Final / Make-up Exam Program” application on st.bau.edu.tr. Therefore, making your objections for grades as soon as you see your final grade will be better for you.
