| ACTDE Procedures |
| |
| For all the educational institutions, accreditation is a collegial process of assessment and peer review for sustainability and improvement of educational standards and academic quality. At ACTDE, our accreditation process works periodically and it majorly involves three main functions: |
| |
|
 |
A self-study of the online institution or program using our own set standards and benchmark. |
| |
|
 |
A peer review of the online institution or program to gather evidence of quality. |
| |
|
 |
Lastly, a conclusion made by our panel to decide whether to accredit an online institution or program, accredit with some conditions or reject the accreditation application of the institution or program |
|
