The Turkish Parliament will begin its new session on Tuesday, focusing on legislation and regulations related to student amnesty and the terror-free Türkiye initiative.
The amnesty aims to help students who dropped out of university for various reasons resume their studies.
All former students who were dismissed from universities at the undergraduate, associate degree, undergraduate completion and graduate levels, including preparatory classes, will be granted the right to re-enroll.
Under the regulation before Parliament, eligible students will begin attending classes in the 2026-2027 academic year. Those wishing to benefit from the amnesty will be required to apply to their former universities within four months after the law enters into force. Students who have been conscripted will be given the opportunity to apply within two months of their discharge.
Those dismissed from the Police Academy, the Gendarmerie and Coast Guard Academy, and military schools affiliated with the National Defense University will not be covered by the amnesty.
