Evaluation Process
The accreditation is implemented through the following process:
The applicant-junior college conducts a self-study based on the evaluation items specified by JUAA (①) and submits a Self-study Report. The Junior College Accreditation Committee reviews this Report (②). The Committee sends evaluators to each applicant-junior college (③). Taking the results of this site visit into consideration, the Committee drafts the accreditation results and forwards it to the applicant-junior college for opinions (④). After hearing the opinions of the applicant-junior college, the Committee formulates the final results of the accreditation, which will be notified to the applicant-junior college, the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and disclosed to the general public(⑤). The accredited junior college submits the Progress Report concerning issues identified within 3 years after the accreditation evaluation(⑥). The JUAA reviews the status of improvements and provides feedback to each junior college(⑦).
