ACISC Institutions
International Institutional Accreditation, Records and Verification
ACISC provides international institutional accreditation for eligible educational institutions through accreditation standards, institutional evidence, evaluation, professional review and formal accreditation decision-making.
The ACISC Institutions hub connects institutions and stakeholders with accredited institution records, accreditation status and approved scope, verification, accreditation actions and institutional accreditation pathways.
ACISC’s international accreditation framework serves eligible schools, international schools, colleges, universities, higher education institutions, institutes, academies, educational centers, professional and specialized education institutions, technical and vocational institutions, continuing education providers, training institutions, medical and healthcare education institutions and other eligible educational organizations.
ACISC Evaluates Institutions as Educational Organizations
ACISC institutional accreditation evaluates the institution as a whole through applicable accreditation standards and documented institutional evidence.
The evaluation examines interconnected dimensions of institutional operation, educational quality and effectiveness rather than treating an individual course, certificate or program as the institution itself.

Educational Effectiveness
ACISC assesses curriculum, educational programs, teaching, learning, assessment, student outcomes and evidence of educational effectiveness.
Institutional Capacity
ACISC evaluates personnel, faculty resources, facilities, technology, information resources, administrative systems and institutional capacity.
Students & Educational Experience
ACISC examines student services, educational support, student experience, safeguarding and institutional responsibilities affecting learners.
Integrity & Accountability
ACISC evaluates institutional integrity, policies, records, representations, accountability and implementation of applicable accreditation requirements.
Continuous Improvement
ACISC reviews how institutions use evidence, evaluation and institutional planning to strengthen educational and institutional effectiveness.
