18.09 Do I indicate essential changes before I make them, or afterwards?

According to § 28 MRVO, essential changes must be reported “immediately”. The Accreditation Council does not set a specific deadline for this; however, it assumes that essential changes will be notified promptly after implementation.

It is also possible to notify change projects. The prerequisite is that the planning status is sufficiently advanced for an evidence-based assessment of the proposed change to be carried out.

A commitment to review intended or already implemented essential changes within a certain period of time cannot currently be given.

If a higher education institution wants to implement an essential change quickly, it is advisable to display it after the change has been made.
