02 - FEB	Graduation Pictures in Cap and Gowns Our last year graduating students (43 students) need to have their pictures taken in cap and gowns for the class composite. EXPRES PHOTO is a photographer’s shop at the entrance of Bit Bazaar which has agreed to take two photographs each for the price of 200 denars. Pro-Rectors and Faculty Deans are also acquired to go to the same photographer’s shop and have their pictures taken in their academic attire. The costs of the photographs for the faculty deans will be covered by the university. The photographer will give the students two pictures with the dimensions of 9x13. Students who wish to have multiple photographs taken or ask for different layouts, should do so only by a common consent with the photographer. According to the university administration's decision the photographs will have a "digital frame filter application". Students and faculty Deans should see their photographs as displayed in the computer and like them before leaving the photographer’s shop. [At a later point, the objections as to: I didn’t choose/like this photo will not be accepted.] The gown and the cap are available at the photographer’s. The cap tassel should be placed on the left side of your cap and be at your ear-level. Students and faculty deans are to have their pictures taken at the photographer’s after 16:00 pm on Thursday and on Friday. (For this purpose, the students are given a two-week’s period.) The students will pay for their photos once they receive them. The class composite will be prepared by the university. If the students wish to obtain an A3 sized class composite covered with a colored cellophane, they need to pay an additional amount of 300 denars for which they are going to be issued a receipt. Students that would like to obtain the CD comprising of pictures taken during the graduation ceremony will be able to get it for 200 denars for which they are going to be issued a receipt. Male students, when having their pictures taken, and strongly reminded to wear a tie and be dressed in nice and clean clothes. Female students should wear casual clothes that do not show cleavage. Students wearing the headscarf should not remove it. Students, when having their pictures taken, should attempt to smile and show a happy and joyful appearance. For all submissions in regards to the picture taking, please contact the Administrative Affairs Supervisor, Mr. Zeki Abdi

28 - DEC	For Turkish Students Only --- Diploma Denkligi Islemlerinin Uzun Sürmesi 2011 Eylül ayinin sonunda ilk mezunlarimiz diplomalarini aldiktan sonra peyderpey olarak ve farkli tarihlerde YÖK'e diploma denkligi için basvurmaya baslamislardir. Bazi velilerimiz aradan 3 ay geçmesine ragmen bir gelisme olmadigini belirterek üniversite olarak bizim yapabilecegimiz bir sey olup olmadigini sormaktadirlar. Bu konudaki süreçle ilgili olarak ögrencilerimizi sadece su konuda bilgilendirebiliriz. Diger gelismeler üniversitemizin bilgisi ve yetkisi disinda gelismektedir: (1) ögrenci Türkiyede herhangi bir resmi kuruma diplomasini verdigi zaman ilgili resmi kurum bu diplomanin "gerçek" olup olmadigini arastirmak için ya disisleri bakanligina veya dogrudan Makedonya'daki Türkiye Büyükelçiligine yazi yazip sormaktadir. (2) Üsküpteki Türkiye Büyükelçiligi protokol geregi bu yaziyi Makedonya Disisleri Bakanligina göndererek onlara sormaktadir. (3) Makedonya Disisleri Bakanligi, Makedonya Egitim Bakanilgina yazi yazarak bu kisinin gerçekten üniversitede ögrenci olup olmadigini sormaktadir. (4) Makedonya Egitim Bakanligi da üniversitemize yazi yazarak bu kisinin gerçekten üniversitemizden mezun olup olmadigini ve mezunlar defterinde adinin kayitli olup olmadigini sormaktadir. (5) Biz bir yaziyla ögrencinin üniversimize devam ettigini ve mezun oldugunu Egitim Bakanligina bildirmekteyiz. (6) Egitim Bakanligi durumu Makedonya Disisleri Bakanligina bildirmektedir. (7) Makedonya Disisleri bakanligi durumu Üsküp Türkiye Büyükelçiligine bildirmektedir. (8) Türkiye Büyükelçiligi eger kurum YÖK ise dogrudan bu kuruma baska bir kurum ise Türkiye Disisleri bakanligina ve Türkiye Disisleri Bakanligi da ilgili Türk resmi kurumuna durumu bildirmektedir. YÖK'te bu belge geldikten sonra diger belgeler de tamam ise degerlendirme komisyonu toplanip diploma denkliginin verilip verilmeyecegine karar vermektedir. Mühendislik Fakültelerinden Mezun olan ögrenciler ile Ingiliz Dili ve Amerikan Edebiyati Bölümünden olan ögrencilerin Türkiyede ÖSYM tarafindan yapilacak baska bir sinava girip basarili olmalari gerekmektedir. Bu güne kadar bu prosedür çerçevesinde 6 ögrenci için Makedonya Egitim Bakanligina yazi yazilmistir. Eger diger ögrenciler de basvurmuslarsa evraklari degisik kurum ve kademelerde bekliyor veya islem yapiliyor olabilir. Bu belgelerin nerede oldugunu bilmemize imkan yoktur. Bize Makedonya Egitim Bakanligindan yazi geldiginde en geç ertesi gün resmi yaziyi yazip bakanliga geri gönderiyoruz. Bu konuda ögrencilerimizden veya velilerimizden gelebilecek ek bilgileri ve katkilari memnuniyetle karsilayip degerlendirecegimizi saygilarimizla bilgilerinize sunariz.
