Accreditation Evaluation and raising the level of theological education is the main task of the
HTU accreditation department

HOW TO GET ACCREDITATION?

The accreditation process is divided into several stages, although in some educational institutions the term and structure of assessment can differ from each other.

INTRODUCTION

The process is divided into several stages, although in some educational institutions the term and structure of the assessment may differ from each other. In any case, a prerequisite for an educational institution to obtain accreditation status is membership in the HTU. The accreditation process begins with the receipt of an application from the educational institution, indicating the desire to obtain accreditation for a particular curriculum (or department). In this case, the Executive Director sends the School all the necessary information material (accreditation manual containing standards, procedures, questionnaires, etc.) Accreditation process

  1. PRELIMINARY COMMENTS
    1. Accreditation is a lengthy process in which an educational institution, its structure, program, structure and life are assessed by the school itself and the accreditation commissions consisting of qualified ministers with authority in the gospel education system and the necessary training.
    2. The process is divided into several stages, although in some educational institutions the term and structure of the assessment may differ from each other. In any case, a prerequisite for an educational institution to obtain accreditation status is membership in the Asia Pacific Accreditation Association
  2. CANDIDATE STATUS
    1. The accreditation process begins with the receipt of an application from the educational institution, indicating the desire to obtain accreditation for a particular curriculum (or department). In this case, the Executive Director sends the School all the necessary information material (accreditation manual containing standards, procedures, questionnaires, etc.)
    2. The return of a preliminary questionnaire filled out by the School with confirmation of its readiness to pay compensation for the transportation costs of the accreditation commission and the established hanorara are considered the official start of the accreditation process.
    3. The Executive Director, in agreement with the Association Council, forms an accreditation commission for this educational institution from the reserve of accreditation commissions approved by the general meeting, and transmits the school statement and a completed preliminary questionnaire to the Chairman of this commission. An accreditation commission consisting of 3-4 people, at least one of whom must be from the country representing the School, visits the educational institution at the agreed time and provides a confidential report addressed to the Chairman of the Council, which is presented at the next meeting of the Council. The commission usually includes an Executive Director or an experienced representative of the accreditation committee.
    4. The purpose of the first visit is to compile a general impression of the School and to determine whether there are fundamental obstacles to the accreditation of the School. That is, the commission concludes whether it is realistic to start the accreditation process for this school. All materials received are submitted to the next Council of the Association, which, with the positive conclusion of the accreditation commission, presents the School with the status of "Candidate for accreditation".
    5. After assigning the School the status of Candidate, she can indicate this in all of her publications and handouts, and she also undertakes to pay the Association membership accreditation fees for each student of the program submitted for accreditation.

Maintenance of Accreditation Status

  1. MAINTENANCE OF THE ACCREDITATION STATUS
    1. The school can appeal any decision of the Council by making an appeal at the next general meeting of members of the association. Appealing a decision of a general meeting in a judicial or other manner is not possible, since HTU is an organization with voluntary membership.
    2. Any educational institution can withdraw its application for accreditation at any time or withdraw from the HTU. The same way out of HTU occurs when the school changes the profession of faith, if the HTU charter is not respected, and if the membership dues are not paid in time.
    3. When an educational institution leaves the HTU for any reason, it automatically loses its accreditation, which is immediately notified to the general public. Also in this case, the school loses the right to indicate the accreditation status in its printed materials, while the contributions and other expenses of the School and its donations are not returned.
