Accreditation status
core definition
Accreditation status is the embodiment
of the decision made by the accreditation
body.
explanatory context
In principle, an institution or programme is either
accredited or it is not: a binary decision with equivalent accreditation
status. Often, though, there are interim or provisional accreditation decisions
that translate into a range of accreditation statuses.
analytical review
Generically, (Vlăsceanu, et al., 2004, p. 21), describe accreditation
status as:
The formal recognition benefiting
an institution or specialized programme for meeting the appropriate standards
of educational quality established by the accrediting
body at a regional, national, or specialized level.
