2026 International ACAC Conference Session Proposal Form

Accreditation is frequently referenced when evaluating institutions and advising students, yet its meaning and implications are not always well understood. This session will examine the role of accreditation bodies, distinguish between institutional and secondary or specialized accreditation, and explore how accreditation practices vary across countries and education systems. Through case studies and facilitated discussion, participants will strengthen their ability to interpret accreditation credentials and apply this knowledge when supporting student decision-making and mobility.
