Hello, my name is Daniel Ngogo. I'm a blogger of this site. 
Accreditation is a process of validation in which Colleges,
Universities and other institutions of higher learning are evaluated. In
Tanzania accreditation means an institution has met or exceeded minimum
standards of quality. For any institution to be accredited the Commission must
be satisfied that the institution concerned has adequate physical, human and
financial resources, viable academic programme and sound structure of
governance.
According to the Universities Act, Cap. 346, the Commission
is mandated to recognize and register all University institutions operating in
Tanzania. Todate the Commission has registered 49 university institutions. Toview the list click here.
Accreditation of Universities is done in two stages
namely; Proviisional Licence and
Certificate of Accreditation; The
process also involves Chattering which is granted by the President as evidence
that the University meets the requirements and standards of academic excellence
set by the Commission.
A Provisional Licence is a preparatory stage for issuance of
Certificate of Accreditation. At this stage the institution is required to
develop physical infrastructure, prepare administrative and academic policies,
develop curriculum, establish governance structure and employ academic staff.
An institution holding a Provisional Licence is not allowed to admit students.
An institution holding Certificate of Accreditation has full autonomy in the
administration of its academic affairs and can confer awards in its name.
However, before 2013 the process of accreditation of
institutions included the third stage which is Certificate of Full Registration
(CFR). A holder of CFR has well
developed internal quality assurance system hence is allowed to admit students.
