A simpler starting point
Accreditation readiness.
Start with seven questions.
Take a quick look at your institution’s evidence, identify what needs attention and leave with a practical conversation starter.
About five minutes. No files to upload.
This short check covers governance, academic standards, quality systems, students, staff and resources, evidence, and improvement. It is a simplified companion to the full 35-question workbook—not a substitute for a framework-specific review.
Your answers stay in this page. No answers or contact details are submitted to SPECS. There is no sign-up for this short check. Closing or refreshing the page clears your responses. Don’t enter personal, student or confidential information. Keep your downloaded summary secure.
Optional context
Use a generic label if preferred. If you don’t know the framework yet, leave it blank.
This is self-reported reflection, not verified evidence, an accreditation judgement, a readiness percentage or a prediction of an external decision. The applicable authority’s standards always take precedence.
What evidence could help?
Choose “Not sure” if you have not checked the evidence. “Not applicable” is a provisional exclusion to confirm against your framework.
Your reflection summary · Guided self-check v1.0
A starting point for your next quality conversation.
Self-reported responses only. No supporting evidence has been reviewed by SPECS. No accreditation score or assurance conclusion is produced. Confirm scope and exclusions against the applicable framework.
Your seven review areas
Suggested next actions
Up to three prompts, ordered by your responses: evidence unavailable, uncertainty, then partial evidence. Ties follow question order. This is not a risk ranking; a qualified institutional lead should set urgency, owners and dates.
Go deeper, when you need to
Keep the full workbook as an option.
The 35-question Excel workbook adds detailed evidence mapping and actions. It uses the existing verified-email access process; your answers here are not transferred.
