Accreditation is the review of the quality of schools, colleges, universities, distance learning centres, online courses, corporations, and agencies. It can be either institutional or programmatic. It is a major way that students, families, and government officials know that a certain institution or program aims to quality education. Accreditation of an academic unit by an accrediting body is an evaluation process. It leads to a public statement by the accrediting body about the extent to which the academic unit (often a program toward a degree) meets expected educational quality standards. Through the accreditation process, the faculty, the facilities, the student body, budgets, recruiting practices, admissions procedures, course content, degree completion requirements, and other pertinent issues come under a thorough review. Successful completion of the review provides the reviewed educational institution or a program with a credential. The credential is most often a public statement that the academic unit satisfies a set of quality criteria established by the accrediting body. There are separate accrediting bodies and procedures for accrediting institutions and accredited academic programs. In this portal, we focus on the accreditation of academic programs in engineering, engineering technology, and computing. The accreditation standards, which are established by experts in the field, cover elements such as the quality and size of the faculty, faculty support, student recruiting and retention, student services, student advising, facilities, budgets, admissions procedures, course content, and the degree to which the unit reviews its operations periodically and uses feedback from constituencies to improve operations.

Affiliation

Affiliation is the state of being closely associated with or connected to WEO. An affiliated Educational Institute operates independently, but also has a formal collaborative agreement with WEO, and the WEO has some level of control or influence over its academic policies, standards, or programs. The difference between Affiliation and Accreditation is that Affiliation is the relationship resulting from affiliating one thing with another while Accreditation is the granting of approval to an institution of higher learning by an official review board after the school has met certain requirements. If you are a vocational, traditional, professional training institution or a distance learning Career College/University/School/K-12 Institute/Higher Education, you can take advantage of Accreditation & Affiliation by WEO.
