This fee is payable upon acceptance of the eligibility of the institution into the accreditation process.
This fee includes the evaluation of the application for accreditation (Self Assessment Report).
This fee includes the final applicant accreditation assessment report.
This fee includes the first year of accreditation maintenance fee.

OPTIONAL - External Consulting Fees: 1,500 to 2,500 US Dollar
The Accreditation Self Assessment Report often requires a lot of work and dedication form CEOs or Deans who lack the time to do it. Completing the Self Assessment Report is not an easy task to delegate to other peers. External consultants may help successfully in the completion of this process in exchange for a fee. External consultants are usually members of the EEQA knowledgeable of the EEQA standards. The consultant will not be the commissioner assigned for the evaluation of the Accreditation Self Assessment Report to avoid any conflict of interest.
This fee is optional and payable directly to the consultant of the accreditation process.
This fee will vary depending on the range of services offered by the consultant.
This fee does not include the Accreditation Self Assessment Report fee payable to EEQA.
