How to get your college accredited with most effective tactics?

Academic accreditation is a formal recognition of an educational program or Institution in accordance with the standards of quality set by the accreditation agency against well-defined criteria. Collegiate accreditation is granted to particular higher educational Institutions on the basis of an impartial assessment of the attainment of specific requirements in terms of its performance, related to the academic processes and outcomes, covering the entire academics, administration, and services.

Why does accreditation with technology matter?

In the past several years, there has been a great deal of discussion about the accreditation and assessment of programs in higher education institutions. Educators, students, parents, and others have posed questions about the value of accreditation in higher education, focusing particularly on the value added at the institutional level. It is important to consider the contributions of technology-enabled accreditation makes to the institution, students, and society as well.

Continuous Improvement

To ensure that a technology-based accreditation management system adopted is credible and acceptable, educators must have a strong hand in its development. Before the departments and offices adopt the automated accreditation system, educators should fulfill the quality standards set by the accreditation agency for continuous improvement. Colleges and universities can then use these standards to guide the implementation of curriculum, assessment, evaluation and learning resources. In general, an automated accreditation system is customizable and flexible enough to accommodate diversity in instructional methods used in the department, college or university.
