GDPR (KVKK) TRANSACTIONS

  1. What is GDPR (KVKK)? What should institutions pay attention to within the scope of GDPR?
    • It is the Personal Data Protection Law (Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kanunu).
    • The purpose of the law is to ensure the protection of personal data in Turkey.
    • As a university, corporate policies have been prepared and implemented within the scope of the law.
    • All our units are primarily obliged to have a good understanding of the Personal Data Protection Law.
    • Sensitivity should be shown regarding all information and documents that should not be recorded or published under the law, as well as their backup/security.

PASSPORT TRANSACTIONS

  1. What are the steps for obtaining a passport?
    • Visit our Directorate's website.
    • Download Form PS-03 under the Forms tab on our site and complete it fully.
    • Submit Form PS-03 to our Directorate in person or via e-mail (if you are administrative personnel, send it to personel.idari@aybu.edu.tr; if you are academic personnel, send it to personel.akademik@aybu.edu.tr).
    • Based on your PS-03 form, a "Passport Form" will be prepared by our Directorate.
    • The Passport Form is signed, sealed, and assigned a number by the authorized Head of the Directorate or other authorized superiors if the Head is not available.
    • You will be informed once the Passport Form is ready.
    • The person concerned must come to our Directorate (Esenboğa Campus) in person to receive it.
    • The person concerned completes the passport procedures within the scope of the appointment received from the Ankara Provincial Directorate of Population and Citizenship, along with this form and other required documents.
  2. What do you require for a passport?
    • If you are applying for a passport for yourself or your family members, it is sufficient to fully complete the "Passport Request Form Petition" (PS-03) in the Forms menu of our website.
    • Our Directorate does not request any photographs, fees, stamps, etc.
  3. I am in a hurry; you must give me my passport form immediately!
    • It is important for you to request the form from our directorate at least three days before your passport appointment at the population directorate to ensure you can attend your appointment on time.
    • This is because the Personnel Directorate is a directorate that carries out very intensive work and processes at our university, and the sole task of the personnel is not just passport procedures.
    • In addition, the Passport Form has a standard signing process.
    • Nevertheless, the form is prepared and delivered as quickly as possible.
  4. What does the Population Directorate require for a passport? How can I make an appointment?
    • The Population Directorate is a different government institution.
    • The appointment system or the documents requested by this institution may vary from year to year.
    • Therefore, as the information we provide about another institution may be incomplete, it is necessary for our personnel to contact that institution directly (via its website, by phone, in person, etc.) to learn the requirements, to avoid any inconvenience.
  5. What does a Service Passport (Grey Passport) mean?
    • Personnel assigned abroad are issued a Service (Grey) Passport if they cannot obtain a Special (Green) Passport.
    • Firstly, a Rectorate Approval for the assignment abroad must be obtained.
    • After the assignment, Form PS-03, located in the forms section of our Personnel Directorate, is completed and submitted to the Personnel Directorate.
    • Officials who are issued service-stamped passports are required to return the service-stamped passports, which are still valid, to the unit where they worked, after completing their duty-related travel.
    • The spouse and children under the age of 25 of our personnel who are entitled to a grey passport may also be issued a grey passport.
  6. What does a Special (Green) Passport mean?
    • It is a type of passport issued for a period of 10 years to civil servants working on behalf of the state and in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree cadres, as well as their spouses and children who meet certain conditions.
  7. What are the conditions for my child to obtain a Special (Green) Passport?
    • Although your information is required on the passport form, you do not have to obtain a passport for yourself to obtain a passport for your spouse and children.
    • Your child for whom you want to obtain a passport must be under the age of 18. However, if your child is over 18; you can also obtain a green passport for them if they "reside with you, are single, do not have insured employment, are continuing their education, and have not completed the age of 25."
    • Regardless of their age; you can also obtain a green passport for your child if they "have a full-fledged state hospital report of mental, spiritual, or physical disability and reside with you, are single, and unemployed."
    • The death of a parent with a green passport and the subsequent receipt of a survivor's pension does not prevent your child who meets the above conditions from obtaining a green passport.
    • If your child is a student in another city and their green passport has expired, they can make an application themselves by making an appointment at the population directorate in the city where they are located, provided that the form obtained from our directorate is with them.
    • If your child completes the age of 25, or if your child's education ends, or if they start insured employment even if they are of age, or if your daughter marries before the age of 25, their passport right expires, and they must have their green passport canceled and return it.
    • Your child whose green passport right has expired can apply for a passport as a regular citizen.
  8. Can I obtain a green/grey passport for my family members other than my spouse and dependent children?
    • No. None of your family members other than your spouse and children, such as your mother, father, siblings, etc., can benefit from your passport (green/grey) right, even if they live with you and are dependent on you.
  9. I retired from your university. Does my Special (Green) Passport right continue?
    • Administrative personnel and academic staff who had the right to obtain a green passport and who left their positions at our University due to reasons such as retirement, resignation, or non-extension of their term of office also have the right to a green passport.
    • These individuals must send a petition of request to our directorate via e-mail; administrative personnel to personel.idari@aybu.edu.tr and academic personnel to personel.akademik@aybu.edu.tr.
    • After the e-mail is received by us, a "Duty Certificate" will be issued to the person concerned by our Directorate.
    • The person concerned will go to the Provincial Population Directorate with this document, fill out the "Passport Form" there, and start the process.

ARCHIVE RESEARCH TRANSACTIONS

  1. What does archive research mean?
    • It is a mandatory procedure for individuals who are entitled to be appointed to our university before starting their duties.
    • The information of the appointed individuals is sent to the Ankara Governorship Provincial Security Directorate for Archive Research.
    • The Security Directorate investigates whether the individual has a criminal record, is wanted by law enforcement, or has a dismissal from public office or a finalized dismissal penalty from civil service within the scope of ongoing or concluded investigations or prosecutions.
    • If your Archive Research from the Security Directorate comes back positive, your appointment procedures are initiated.
  2. How long does archive research take?
    • It can take between 2 weeks and 2 months.
  3. What happens if my archive research result is negative/bad?
    • If a record is found in your archive research, your information is forwarded to our University's Archive Research Evaluation Commission for examination of whether this record prevents your appointment.
    • The commission members, including a legal expert, evaluate your archive record and assess whether your record prevents your appointment.
    • If the evaluation result is negative, your appointment is not made; if it is positive, your appointment is made.
    • You will be notified in writing to your address whether your appointment can be made or not.

ACADEMIC APPOINTMENT TRANSACTIONS

  1. How are academic personnel appointment numbers determined?
    • YÖK generally allocates a certain number of quotas for appointments to each university around March.
    • Promotions (e.g., those who become Professors from Associate Professors within the institution) are not included in these numbers.
  2. I meet the requirements; will I be appointed this year?
    • If your staff requests do not come from the department + division + unit administrative boards,
    • Even if a request comes, if your staff request is subject to the ¾ rule at the department/unit level,
    • Even if you are not subject to the rule, if your staff request is not included in the quota allocated to our university by YÖK for that year,
    • Even if your staff request is sent to YÖK, if it is not approved by YÖK,
    • Even if YÖK approves, if you do not meet our additional conditions and announcement requirements when we publish the announcement,
    • Even if you meet the requirements, if another candidate who applied for the same position is preferred by the jury instead of you, your appointment cannot be made.
  3. What does the ¾ Rule mean?
    • It is the rule that in all appointments exceeding the minimum staff number, at most ¾ of the staff, including the minimum staff, can be used for the same positions.
    • Example: Let's assume that in a department of a faculty that provides department-based graduation, there are a total of 10 faculty members: 1 Professor, 8 Associate Professors, and 1 Assistant Professor, and our directorate receives a request for 1 more Associate Professor for this department from this faculty. Our directorate adds the current number of faculty members + the requested number of faculty members, divides the sum by four, and then multiplies by three. The resulting number is rounded down. So, 10 + 1 = 11 / 4 x 3 = 8.25, which is 8. This means that the upper limit for the number of people in any of the faculty member titles in this department is 8. Since there are already 8 Associate Professors in this department, they do not have the right to request 1 more Associate Professor. However, they do have the right to request other faculty member titles.
  4. I have been newly appointed to your university; when should I start my duty?
    • Those appointed to positions within the same provincial borders are obliged to start work within the working day following the date of notification of their appointment orders.
    • Those appointed to positions in other provincial borders are obliged to move to that location within 15 days from the date of notification of their appointment orders and start work within the working day following the specified travel time.
  5. I have been entitled to an open appointment at your university; how long does it take for my appointment to be finalized?
    • All processes such as the writing and finalization of the archive research letter, the postal time of the results to our university, the writing of the decree, and the cover letter depend on variables such as workload, public holidays, and the mailing of documents. Therefore, while it is not possible for us to specify a definite period for the execution and completion of the process, all documents are processed and finalized as soon as possible without being kept waiting at our directorate.
    • Although a definite period cannot be given, the appointment process steps table below (AKD-01) will give you brief information about the procedures and process.

    • The person wishing to transfer first applies to the institution where they received education, declares their wish to transfer to our university, and obtains a document stating that their transfer has been approved by their institution.

    • Attached to this petition are:

    • The person concerned severs their ties with their university and starts working at our faculty, and a letter of commencement is received from their faculty.
    • At the same time, the educational file containing information about their education at the other university (rotation plans, unit supervisor evaluations, sick leave reports, leave periods, etc.) is requested from their faculty. Since we will handle the correspondence as the rectorate, we will request their file. Since it will form the basis for the duration of education, the physically received file is sent to their faculty with a cover letter, and the relevant research assistant completes the subsequent part of their education at our university.
