Announcement

The Quality Assurance Agency in Higher Education informs the public that the transitional phase between two accreditations, until a decision is made by the Accreditation Board, is regulated by Accreditation Board Decision No. 2, dated 07.04.2017 “On determining the duration and validity deadlines of accreditation within the framework of decision-making for the accreditation of higher education institutions and study programmes”, point 4, and by Accreditation Board Decision No. 22, dated 14.05.2020 “On the validity of the accreditation period for institutional accreditation and study programmes as well as the extension of the application deadline for accreditation”, point 1.

Point 4 states: For the purpose of accreditation validity, when the final decision of the Accreditation Board is positive, Higher Education Institutions that have submitted a request for periodic accreditation or for fulfilling recommendations/conditions, in accordance with the applicable legislation and that have been under evaluation within the accreditation process, are considered accredited for the period between accreditations.
