HEA Continues Processing of Submitted Learning Programmes from Colleges as University Application Window Remains Open

The Higher Education Authority (HEA) is in the second month of processing submitted learning programmes from colleges which it will conclude on 30th July, 2024, with the colleges that submitted learning programmes getting feedback the day after processing concludes.

HEA introduced window periods for application of accreditation of learning programmes in order to ensure that all learning programmes submitted within the submission window were processed according to priority in order to eliminate delays and anxiety related to the accreditation process.

However, the window period for the submission of learning programmes for universities and university colleges remains open until 31st August, 2024. Therefore, all universities and university colleges are directed to submit all their unaccredited learning programmes.

HEA will not accept any submissions for application for accreditation once the submission window has closed until such a time when a new window shall be announced.
