11.3 How are fees charged technically?

The Accreditation Council always generates fee notifications electronically.

Basic flat rate:

The fee notifications (basic flat rate) are sent electronically via ELIAS every year. For this purpose, the account registered as the user administrator of the higher education institution receives a notification by e-mail in the following format*:

This notification is created and sent automatically by ELIAS, it is not SPAM. The fee notification for the basic flat rate can be found after logging in to ELIAS under Accreditation database / All higher education institutions by clicking on the entry of the higher education institution.

The link contained in the message leads to the login page https://antrag.akkreditierungsrat.de/login/.

As the fee notifications (basic flat rate) are not sent in parallel by post or by separate e-mail, we ask the user administrator to forward the notification to the budget department/accounting department accordingly. Only higher education institutions that have not yet registered in ELIAS will continue to receive the notification by post.

*: Please note that the message text may be worded differently in the future.

Flat rate per case:

The application-related fee notifications (case flat rates) are also sent via ELIAS.

Between application and treatment by the Accreditation Council, the applicant will receive notification that a fee notice (advance payment) has been issued. This can be accessed under the respective application, point 4 (Notifications).

The applicant is requested to forward the notification accordingly to the responsible department of the college of cooperative education.
