Procedure

The institutional accreditation procedure at ASIIN consists of five phases:

1. Preparation and application

The university submits an initial inquiry via email, preferably to Christin Habermann. The ASIIN office then prepares an individual offer outlining the procedure, costs and timeline.

2. Self-assessment report and preliminary examination

As a next step, the university prepares a self-assessment report according to the guidelines and templates. Before the final submission of the self-assessment report, ASIIN offers a written preliminary examination or a preliminary interview to check the report for formal completeness.

3. Preparation and execution of the on-site visit (audit)

ASIIN puts together a team of experts based on the suggestions of the Accreditation Commission and plans the on-site visit in cooperation with the university, which is essentially based on our sample schedule.

4. Drafting of the report

Following the audit, the ASIIN office prepares a report. The university then has the opportunity to comment.

5. Treatment in the ASIIN committees and conclusion

After the comment of the university, the experts issue a final statement and recommendation for the Accreditation Commission. The Accreditation Commission subsequently makes a final decision. Afterwards, the university receives the final report with the decision.
