Ensuring that a culture of quality is internalised and disseminated by students, and increasing students’ participation in quality assurance processes, is among the core elements of Giresun University’s student-centred approach to education. At our university students are seen not merely as recipients of education, but as stakeholders who design, monitor and improve quality processes together.
Student participation activities in quality processes are carried out under the Coordinatorship of Accreditation, Academic Evaluation and Quality of our university. This page presents the ways in which our students can take part in quality processes, the Giresun University Quality Community, and news related to student participation.
As of the 2026-2027 Fall semester, a university-wide elective course that explains quality assurance directly to students has been opened. The course is open to students from every department of our university and is the most comprehensive way to prepare for taking part in quality processes.
The course covers higher education systems and the concept of quality, internal and external quality assurance, the Bologna Process, the ESG 2015 standards, the structure of YÖKAK and accreditation mechanisms, and concludes with student representation and feedback mechanisms. You can select it among the university-wide electives during the course registration period.
Follow the application periods announced by your unit for membership of the unit student quality commission. The student representative on the University Quality Commission is designated by the Senate.
It is hard to contribute without knowing the language spoken in the meeting. The Quality Glossary, the Quality Screen video series and the Quality Literacy Test are the quickest way to prepare.
Read the agenda beforehand and collect views from the students you represent. Presenting compiled views rather than a personal impression turns your contribution into evidence.
Share the decision taken in the meeting with your fellow students. The real value of representation is carrying information in both directions.
By completing the YÖKAK Quality Ambassador training programme you can take part in higher education quality processes at national level.
When your term ends, pass your experience on to your successor; the memory of the unit quality commission depends on it.

The institutional channel through which you can submit complaints, requests, suggestions, information requests and satisfaction reports directly. A tracking number is issued, and you may apply confidentially if you wish.
Student satisfaction surveys conducted each term. Results are assessed against threshold values, and an improvement card is opened for items that fall below the average.
As a member of a unit student quality commission or as the student representative on the Quality Commission, you can take your views straight to the decision table.
GİMER Application and Contact What Happened to Your Feedback Survey Links
If you wonder what became of the feedback you gave, see theFrom Feedback to Improvementpage. There, the topics that fell below the average in the surveys and the improvements started for them are listed theme by theme. Feedback becomes evidence of quality only when it turns into an improvement.
The content that best explains quality processes usually comes from the students who experience them. Articles, short videos, posters and presentations prepared within the Quality Community are shared through our Coordinatorship’s publication channels. Writing your impression of a meeting, recording a short video that explains a concept in your own words, or documenting a good practice running in your unit is a contribution too.
To share your work, you can submit aSuggestiontype application through GİMER or contact our Coordinatorship directly.
The Giresun University Student Quality Community was founded on 8 December 2021 under the coordination of the Accreditation, Academic Evaluation and Quality Coordinatorship. The Community works to spread the quality culture, to embed quality processes into everyday practice and to increase student participation in quality assurance processes.
The Community’s aims, its 2026-2027 executive and supervisory board members, working teams, documents and its event and news archive are presented on a separate page.
