Due to the earthquake that occurred on February 6, 2023, centered in Kahramanmaraş and directly affecting 10 of our provinces, and considering:

• Our students from this region who are unable to attend education and training in higher education institutions in other cities,
• Some of these students' relatives being directly affected by the disaster,
• Our academic and administrative staff, including our students, participating in search, rescue, and aid activities,

the opening of the spring semester in all higher education institutions has been postponed until a second announcement, taking these into consideration.
