Accreditation is a voluntary, non-governmental peer review process. Accreditation by the EQAC shall be understood to convey only that the higher education institution meets the EQAC’s educational standards. Such recognition is not in any way intended to substitute legal authorization, recognition or regulation, through compliance with local government laws. Legal authorization, recognition or regulation, and government accreditation occur in the context of different reviews.
