UWI & ACTT Make Strides For Quality Excellence
While important to many stakeholders, institutional accreditation has two main purposes: quality assurance and institutional improvement and it provides assurance to the public, and in particular to prospective students, that the university is meeting the agency’s requirements and criteria. The Campus management team is dedicated to using the opportunity of this self-study exercise to conduct an institutional assessment within the framework of the UWI Strategic Plan, 2007-2012 against the background of the specific accreditation criteria and standard. |
Making a bold commitment to improving quality, The University of the West Indies has submitted its accreditation candidacy to the Accreditation Council of Trinidad and Tobago (ACTT ). As one of the first tertiary institutions of its size and reach to bid for accreditation, UWI Campus Principal and Pro Vice Chancellor, Professor Sankat believes that institutional accreditation would not only provide further endorsement of the quality standards at UWI but would also contribute to a process of continuous quality enhancement at an institutional level. The UWI already has its programmes registered and accredited, but is embarking on the self study assessment of its entire operations.
