Newsletter April 2020

Dear Mrs. ,

Today you are receiving our Newsletter in its new look for the first time.
Enjoy reading!

Accreditation Council responds to the corona crisis
Corona-related restrictions have also affected the accreditation system. The Accreditation Council has responded to this:

Section 28 MRVO is suspended until further notice for emergency decisions by higher education institutions due to the corona crisis, subject to specific regulations of individual federal states.
Higher education institutions have the option of applying for an extraordinary extension of deadlines if inspections cannot take place due to the corona crisis.
System Accreditations can also apply for an extraordinary extension of accreditation due to the corona crisis.
Further information can be found here.

Grid: Data on the study programme
The Accreditation Council collects data on the study programme in its data sheet. The information on these key figures is based on an Excel table. This is binding for self-evaluation reports that are prepared by the higher education institutions in or from the summer semester 2020. It is not necessary to collect the key figures retrospectively for accreditation procedures already in progress. More information can be found here.

Changes on our homepage since the last newsletter was sent:

New FAQ 14 “Legal Basis”.
New FAQ 01.4 and 01.5 on application documents.

The legal ordinance on the accreditation of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is now available.
The topics of Recognition and Crediting have been included in the new assessment grids. Some FAQs on this topic (FAQ 08 “Recognition and crediting”) have therefore been deleted.
As the transition phase from the old to the new accreditation law has ended, FAQ 5.1 has been amended.
The revised version of the document Introduction to ELIAS FAQ is available on the homepage.
FAQ 09.4 has been changed.
