In compliance with the Turkish Constitution, Law on Higher Education, and Regulations for Student Discipline at Higher Education Institutions, all BTU students are expected to respect the language, religious beliefs, sects, race, color, ethnicity, sex, identity, class, and political opinions of individuals and to avoid disrupting the peace and order of higher education institutions through discrimination and restrictions on the freedom of learning or working.

Disciplinary action may be taken against students who have violated BTU regulations and/or Turkish Higher Education law regulations. Students are subject to the Disciplinary Code and Procedure of Higher Education. Penalties are decided by a Disciplinary Committee that convenes upon the request of the chairperson. Disciplinary actions are taken against offenses such as plagiarism and cheating, and penalties include warnings, suspensions ranging from one week to two semesters, and expulsion from the university. 

Instructors experiencing disciplinary problems with students should contact the Assistant Directors immediately for assistance in proceeding with the disciplinary process.
