Do's and dont's

I learnt that while accrediting agencies and regulating bodies may conduct scheduled or surprise visits to regulate higher education institutes to ensure that the institute meets the standards, laws, regulations and criteria set forth by the particular institute, it is the responsibility of members collectively to be oriented to such visits throughout the year and to do as they say, and to constantly improve with the highest standards

Final Quiz

Nationally Accredited Programs

Nationally accredited programs must comply with specific requirements, such as national board pass rates, which demand that only students who demonstrate the ability to succeed be admitted into the individual programs.  Admitting students based on a financial goal undermines the individual programs and ultimately leads to the programs' demise. A better plan is to build a solid reputation by carefully screening students being admitted to ensure 100% pass rates, and develop other non-accredited programs for students who need more time to develop the skills needed to succeed, or to introduce them to other opportunities.
