State accreditation of educational institutions: requirements, necessary documents, state duty. What is the state accreditation of the university

In the vast majority of countries of the world, higher education institutions acquire the right to provide educational services by recognizing the compliance of the level of education received in them with accepted standards. The compliance of the university with the necessary requirements is determined by the authorized body for monitoring education.

The process of confirming the quality of education to the state standard, carried out by authorized bodies, is called state accreditation of the university. In the course of state accreditation, both the type of educational organization (the status of a higher educational institution is assigned) and its type (academy, institute or university) are recognized in the course of assessing the level of education received and the effectiveness of educational programs used to train students.

An assessment of the level of knowledge of graduates of an educational institution is also given in accordance with the requirements of the state educational standard. Accreditation of the university is issued for 5 years, in the subsequent educational institution is subject to re-accreditation.

Due to the fact that, in addition to the accreditation verification of the educational programs themselves, the level of education received with their help is also mandatory, state accreditation of newly organized educational institutions is carried out after the first graduation of students.

In case of successful accreditation, the university is issued a certificate of state accreditation with an appendix, which indicates all the specialties accredited in this educational institution. In addition to the list of specialties, the type and type of the accredited institution are fixed directly in the certificate. If an educational institution at the time of state accreditation has branches in other cities, each of them must contain a copy of the accreditation certificate with its annexes.

State accreditation of individual branches of educational institutions is not carried out.

HOW THE ACCREDITATION PROCEDURE WORKS

Educational institutions are accredited by the Federal Service for Supervision of Education and Science - Rosobrnadzor. To assist in the passage of accreditation of universities, the National Accreditation Agency has also been organized, which deals directly with organizational issues and the preparation of materials for accreditation.

Checking the compliance of the university with the requirements of the state educational standard takes place in several stages:

1. Preparatory:

Carrying out self-examination - an independent examination of the knowledge of graduates and professors;

Preparation of a package of documents required for submission to Rosobrnadzor for the official procedure;

Appeal to Rosobrnadzor, submission of the necessary package of documents;

Formation of the accreditation commission;

2. Expert-analytical:

Conducting an accreditation examination of an educational institution formed by the commission;

Issuance of an accreditation report.

3. Final

Deciding on accreditation

Issuance of an accreditation certificate.

Subject to the successful completion of the accreditation examination and the issuance of a certificate of state accreditation, the university receives a certain status - institute, academy, university.

The university has the right to implement curricula of both higher and postgraduate professional education, provides an opportunity to undergo both training and retraining and advanced training in many specialties, conduct scientific research in the field of fundamental science, has the right to scientific and methodological activities in its field.

The Academy differs from the university in a narrower focus and the lack of the right to conduct research in the field of fundamental science. The Institute is engaged in narrow-profile professional education in the field of a specific science, where it can conduct methodological developments and fundamental research.

WHAT GIVES ACCREDITATION TO A UNIVERSITY?

State accreditation does not just determine the type and status of an educational institution. A university with state accreditation is a guarantee of obtaining a real, high-quality higher education, it is a state diploma, indicating that its owner really has the knowledge and skills necessary for the employer, this is a guarantee of successful employment, these are all benefits provided by the state, scholarships and grants, this is study and creative search, providing knowledge and perspectives.

Unaccredited educational institutions cannot always provide all the necessary knowledge, and the diploma of the “established form” obtained in such an institution is a very dubious document that a potential employer will always look askance at.

WHY IT IS BETTER TO STUDY IN AN ACCREDITED EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION

Among other things, a university with state accreditation guarantees not only an official diploma, which is sometimes quoted abroad, but also the possibility of further education - master's and postgraduate studies are always at the service of a graduate of an accredited university.

Unaccredited commercial institutions, alas, often offer higher education at the undergraduate level, which does not always correspond even to this level.

The next advantage concerns the male half of all applicants, namely, the right to deferment from the army is given only by studying at a university that has state accreditation. Moreover, you can count on a deferment only when obtaining specialties strictly specified in the Appendix to the certificate of state accreditation of the university.

The opportunity to receive higher education at the expense of the state, that is, on a budgetary basis, is available only in universities with state accreditation. The same applies to a variety of student benefits and payments.

All state guarantees for them are carried out only in state accredited universities. In private educational institutions, such an opportunity cannot be counted on. All tuition is at the expense of the student.

In any commercial activity there is a risk of burnout, not making a profit. Unfortunately, the same tough competition and the same market laws that do not forgive mistakes and unprofitability operate in the field of educational services.

And therefore, alas, not a single private university can guarantee its students that it will not suddenly close due to the unprofitability of the enterprise. The fate of the students in this outcome is very deplorable. No one will return them for nothing paid money or wasted time.

Entering a higher educational institution with state accreditation, an applicant insures himself against many troubles, but not a single university can guarantee a full-fledged higher education if the student himself does not make enough efforts to get a really weighty and valuable diploma at the end of the training. real higher education.

The beginning of the 2013/2014 academic year was marked by the entry into force of the new Law on Education. Now the Government of the Russian Federation is updating the regulatory framework based on the provisions of this Law. Thus, the Government of the Russian Federation, by Decree No. 1039 of November 18, 2013, approved the Regulation on State Accreditation of Educational Activities (hereinafter - Regulation No. 1039), which entered into force on November 30, 2013.

Accreditation of educational activities

Recall that since September 1, 2013, the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 N 273-FZ "On Education in the Russian Federation" (hereinafter - Law N 273-FZ) has been in force in Russia. From the same date, the previously effective Law of the Russian Federation of July 10, 1992 N 3266-1 "On Education" became invalid.
As a rule, the implementation of any law is inevitably accompanied by the adoption of a number of by-laws. Law N 273-FZ was no exception, in accordance with part 28 of Art. 92 of which it was the Government of the Russian Federation that had to approve the regulation on state accreditation. Thanks to this norm, Regulation N 1039 appeared.
Note that already in the title of Art. 92 of Law N 273-FZ, dedicated to accreditation, there is a difference from the similar article. 33.2 of Law N 3266-1. The new Law on Education deals with the state accreditation of educational activities, and the former one deals with the state accreditation of educational institutions and scientific organizations. Meanwhile, in fact, in all cases, state accreditation is carried out in relation to educational programs implemented by a particular institution.
According to Art. 92 of Law N 273-FZ, state accreditation of educational activities is carried out according to the following programs:
- basic educational programs implemented in accordance with federal state educational standards, with the exception of educational programs for preschool education;
- basic educational programs implemented in accordance with educational standards. Regulation N 1039 clarifies that in this case we are talking about educational programs implemented in accordance with educational standards, which independently approve:
- federal state budgetary educational institutions of higher professional education "Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov" and "St. Petersburg State University";
- educational organizations of higher education, in respect of which the category "federal university" or "national research university" is established;
- federal state educational organizations of higher education, the list of which is approved by decree of the President of the Russian Federation. At present, such a List is approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of 09.09.2008 N 1332.
Thus, a unified accreditation procedure has now been established, including for educational organizations that set educational standards on their own.
In this regard, on November 30, 2013, the following Decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation became invalid:
- dated 05/18/2009 N 414, which approved the Regulations on state accreditation of educational institutions of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation and the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, implementing educational programs containing information constituting a state secret;
- dated February 16, 2011 N 87, which approved the Regulations on licensing educational activities and on state accreditation of the federal state budgetary educational institution of higher professional education "Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov" and the federal state budgetary educational institution of higher professional education "St. -Petersburg State University";
- dated March 21, 2011 N 184, which approved the Regulations on state accreditation of educational institutions and scientific organizations;
- dated September 27, 2011 N 800, which approved the Regulations on state accreditation of federal state educational institutions of higher professional education implementing educational programs of higher professional and postgraduate professional education based on educational standards and requirements established by them independently.
Recall that the following federal state educational standards are currently established in Russia:
- general education;
- initial vocational education;
- secondary vocational education;
- higher professional education in the areas of undergraduate education;
- higher professional education in the areas of specialist training;
- higher professional education in the areas of master's training.

Who accredits and how?

Regulation N 1039 defines the bodies that carry out state accreditation (hereinafter referred to as accreditation bodies). This:
- Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science (hereinafter - Rosobrnadzor);
- executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation exercising the powers transferred by the Russian Federation in the field of education.
Rosobrnadzor conducts state accreditation of educational activities (Article 6 of Law N 273-FZ):
- organizations carrying out educational activities on educational programs of higher education;
- federal state vocational educational organizations that implement educational programs of secondary vocational education in the areas of defense, production of products for defense orders, internal affairs, security, nuclear energy, transport and communications, high-tech production in specialties, the list of which is approved by the Government of the Russian Federation;
- Russian educational organizations located outside the territory of the Russian Federation, educational organizations established in accordance with international treaties of the Russian Federation, as well as educational activities of diplomatic missions and consular institutions of the Russian Federation, representative offices of the Russian Federation at international (interstate, intergovernmental) organizations;
- foreign educational organizations carrying out educational activities at the location of the branch on the territory of the Russian Federation;
- foreign educational organizations carrying out educational activities outside the territory of the Russian Federation.
As for the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation exercising the powers transferred by the Russian Federation in the field of education, they carry out state accreditation of the educational activities of organizations engaged in educational activities on the territory of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, except for organizations whose state accreditation is carried out by Rosobrnadzor.
For example, the accreditation of educational programs implemented in a general education school is carried out by the executive authority of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation on whose territory this school is located, and the accreditation of educational programs implemented in a higher educational institution located in the territory of this constituent entity of the Russian Federation will be carried out by Rosobrnadzor.
If an organization carrying out educational activities implements educational programs in its branch located on the territory of another constituent entity of the Russian Federation, then state accreditation in relation to these programs will also be carried out by the executive authority of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, whose competence includes state accreditation in relation to educational programs implemented in an organization carrying out educational activities, but at the same time in cooperation with the executive authority of the subject of the Russian Federation, on the territory of which the branch is located.
Recall that in accordance with Part 9 of Art. 108 of Law N 273-FZ, previously issued licenses for educational activities and certificates of state accreditation must be reissued before January 1, 2016.
In connection with this provision, Regulation N 1039 requires accreditation bodies to re-register organizations engaged in educational activities by January 1, 2016 with certificates of state accreditation issued to them before September 1, 2013 in relation to the basic educational programs they are implementing. Certificates must be reissued for the period of validity of the existing certificate, indicating in the annex to the reissued certificate the levels of education, enlarged groups of professions, specialties and areas of training, which include state-accredited educational programs.
In order to reissue an accreditation certificate, organizations engaged in educational activities must apply to the accreditation body with an application. Recall that the application form for reissuing a certificate of state accreditation is given in Appendix No. 3 to the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia of September 18, 2012 N 729 (hereinafter - Order N 729).
If an organization carrying out educational activities before September 1, 2013 was issued a temporary certificate in connection with a change in its name to bring it into line with the state status established during state accreditation, then the certificate must be issued on the basis of two documents:
- declarations of the organization;
- decision on state accreditation, previously taken by the accreditation body.
The appendix to the certificate indicates the levels of education, enlarged groups of professions, specialties and areas of training, which include state-accredited educational programs.
Recall that the forms of the certificate of state accreditation, the temporary certificate of state accreditation and annexes to them, as well as the Technical requirements for these documents, were approved by Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated January 10, 2012 N 1.
For reissuing (issuing) certificates to accreditation bodies, a period is set that does not exceed 15 working days from the date of registration of the application of the organization engaged in educational activities.
Decree N 1039 establishes another important point. We are talking about the main professional educational programs of higher education (programs for the training of scientific and pedagogical personnel in graduate school (adjuncture), residency programs, assistant-internship programs). It has been established that these programs are considered educational programs with state accreditation before December 31, 2014, if:
- the validity of the certificate for these programs expires after September 1, 2013, but no later than the entry into force of the federal state educational standards of higher education in terms of training highly qualified personnel, carried out based on the results of the development of these programs;
- there are students who complete their studies in such programs in the period from September 1, 2013 until the entry into force of these federal educational standards.
After the entry into force of these federal state educational standards, organizations engaged in educational activities must undergo state accreditation in relation to these educational programs in the prescribed manner.
Please note that Law N 273-FZ does not provide for state accreditation of educational activities for additional professional programs. In accordance with Part 8 of Art. 108 of Law N 273-FZ from September 1, 2013, certificates of state accreditation in terms of additional professional educational programs with state accreditation are recognized as invalid for all educational organizations.

- the organization is deprived of state accreditation in relation to individual levels of education, enlarged groups of professions, specialties and areas of training or educational programs.

In order for the institution to confirm the compliance of its educational activities with state standards, state accreditation and licensing of the educational institution is carried out.

It is declarative and not mandatory. Having a special permit, an institution can already conduct educational activities and not undergo state accreditation. But, having passed it, the organization confirms that its activities meet the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard.

State accreditation is carried out for the main educational programs of the Federal State Educational Standard, as well as for vocational education programs. Programs are not subject to state accreditation.

Application for state accreditation of an educational institution

The first stage of accreditation is the submission of an application to the accreditation body with a rather voluminous package of documents attached. To find out what requirements apply to the application and documents, you need to refer to the Regulations on state accreditation, approved. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 18, 2013 No. 1039 “On State Accreditation of Educational Activities” (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations on State Accreditation).

The next stage of the state accreditation of an educational institution (hereinafter referred to as the EI) is an accreditation examination. At this stage, it is checked how much the content and quality of training of students in the educational institution corresponds to the Federal State Educational Standard.

The examination is carried out by a group of experts (at least two people), who must be accredited in accordance with the procedure determined by the regulation of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and meet the qualification requirements. Officials of the accreditation body cannot participate in the examination due to the presence of a conflict of interest.

After the examination, the group of experts submits a report. The expert opinion is prepared by the group leader. The conclusion should contain a number of information:

  • date of execution of the conclusion of the expert group;
  • full name of the organization and branch (if any);
  • information about the materials submitted by the organization;
  • a report on the content and quality of students' preparation with a conclusion about the compliance or non-compliance of the educational institution with the standards.

An accreditation examination is carried out with a visit to the place of the expert group, but there may also be a non-visit examination if the organization is a foreign institution; if the activities of the organization are carried out by a Russian educational organization located outside the Russian Federation; or, if implemented by an organization established outside the territory of the Russian Federation or by a foreign organization operating outside the territory of the Russian Federation.

In case of non-compliance of the organization with educational standards, copies of documents certified by the organization confirming this non-compliance are attached to the report of the expert group. This fact may be the basis for refusing to grant state accreditation to an educational institution.

Within three working days from the date of receipt of the conclusion of the expert group, its copy is sent to the educational organization or given against signature and posted on the official website. The conclusion of the expert group is considered by the accreditation body and only after that a decision is made on the compliance or non-compliance of the content and quality of training. Upon successful passage of state control, the educational institution issues a certificate of state accreditation of educational activities.

The issued certificate confirms the state status of the educational organization, the compliance of the quality of the services provided with the state education standards. An application must be attached to the certificate, which indicates the data of the educational institution, levels of education, accredited educational programs, etc. Without an application, the certificate is considered invalid.

Denial of state accreditation of an educational institution occurs in cases where false information is provided or there is a negative conclusion based on the results of the examination. In case of refusal of accreditation, an educational institution may re-apply with a similar application, but not earlier than after 12 months.

Validity of the state accreditation of an educational institution

A certificate of state accreditation for organizations implementing basic professional programs is issued for 6 years, for 12 years - for organizations implementing basic general education programs. Rosobrnadzor explained that if both programs are implemented and submitted for state accreditation in an organization, then, if the decision is positive, two certificates will be issued - one for 6 years, the other for 12 years.

Within 10 working days from the date of a positive decision, the accreditation body hands over the certificate or sends it by registered mail to the address of the organization.

Moreover, professional and general educational programs can be accredited in the absence of students completing their studies in the current year. At any stage, the educational institution can apply for state accreditation - in the first, second or third year.

Certificate renewal

The procedure and grounds for reissuing a certificate are established by the Regulations on state accreditation.

The certificate must be reissued by those organizations that were created by reorganization as part of an affiliation or merger in the presence of a certificate of state accreditation of affiliated institutions. The certificate will be issued upon joining - for the period until the expiration of the certificate of the reorganized organization; in case of merger - for the period until the expiration of the certificate of the reorganized organization, the validity of which expires earlier.

Provisional Certificate

According to the norms, a temporary certificate is issued only to those institutions that have arisen as a result of reorganization in the form of division or separation. It is issued for one year, so that the educational institution can prepare all the documents and pass state accreditation in a year for the period that corresponds to a particular program.

Deprivation of an educational institution of state accreditation

The decision to withdraw state accreditation is made by the accreditation body on the basis of the law on education. The reason may be a repeated violation of the legislation in the field of education or the expiration of the suspension of state accreditation in the absence of grounds for the renewal of its validity.

Upon termination of the license to carry out educational activities, the state accreditation of the educational institution is terminated from the date of the decision to terminate the license.

Institute or university), the level of programs being implemented, their focus, as well as the quality of graduate training. Newly organized individual branches or universities, as well as newly introduced specialties, can only receive accreditation after the first graduation. Any university must provide the necessary documents at the first request of incoming students. Additional information about the educational institution can be found in Rosobrnadzor. The accreditation of the university itself is different from the accreditation of its program. The curriculum of an institute or university is approved by the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation, any university can have accredited and non-accredited programs, the main reason is unsatisfactory quality. If you are going through an unaccredited program at an educational institution, then you should not wait for a state diploma. Accreditation can be unexpected, as a rule, specialists who analyze the quality of an educational institution take part in it. Students who are tested according to a special program can also participate in accreditation, this will confirm the reputation of the university. The scientific program and the quality of education are subjected to verification, the selection of personnel and the conditions of education are evaluated. Much attention has recently been paid to the websites of the university, transparency and reliability of the posted information. After successfully passing the accreditation, the university is issued a certificate and some kind of supplement to it, which indicates the accredited specialties. The certificate may indicate the type of educational institution (higher educational institution), type. None can be self-certified without a head office. Each branch must have a copy of the certificate and application without fail. If, for some reason, the university could not be accredited, Rosobrnadzor can give the educational institution time to improve the situation as a whole. An accredited higher education institution is considered more reliable and prestigious, such a university will receive state support, and students are entitled to all the benefits provided by law.

Most often they fall under:
- higher education institutions,
- media,
- medical institutions,
- diagnostic centers,
- laboratories and research institutes,
- certification authorities.

Types of accreditation

There are two types of accreditation: state and non-state.

Non-state is carried out by certified (ie, previously “verified” by the state) private non-profit organizations, which may have their own divisions, for example, national or regional.

State accreditation is carried out and regularly confirmed by various federal services. As a result of passing any of the accreditations and upon completion of all procedures, with a positive result, a state certificate is issued, giving the right to carry out activities within the framework of the state standard. Thus, the specialists prove the high level of quality of services provided by the “verified” organization and make a final assessment of its activities as a whole.

Accreditation in journalism

Unlike many areas where an organization receives accreditation, a specific person is often accredited in a journalist. As a rule, this is required to organize the participation of a media representative in briefings or press conferences. In most cases, it is enough to submit a personal application

Among the tools with which it is possible to perform certain actions, or to check the compliance of an object with certain standards, a license or accreditation is often called.

What is a license

License means the right to engage in any activity. It is confirmed by a document, which is also called a license. It is possible to engage in such a business only with a license issued by the competent state authority. The state usually legislates a list of such activities. The law also defines its fundamental provisions and authorizes certain state bodies to issue licenses valid indefinitely according to their competence. Procedures related to applications to such bodies and the issuance of licenses are established by government documents.

Licenses are also referred to as permits issued by government agencies for:

  • Catch of fish.
  • Construction.
  • Sale of tobacco products.
  • Vehicle management.
  • Hunting for wild birds and animals.
  • Work in a specific radio frequency range.
  • Production of weapons, etc.

There are certain features in licensing of higher education institutions. This is a complex procedure that determines how the educational process in them meets the government-approved regulation on licensing activities in the field of education. Local authorities and the authorized state body ensure compliance with licensing procedures. They relate to the verification of material, technical, social and personnel security, the organization of studies. If positive results are obtained, an appropriate document is issued giving the right to conduct educational activities.

Widespread licensing in the field patent and copyright. It is carried out on the basis of license agreements. In the first case, the patent holder or the licensor by such an agreement grants another person (the licensee) permission to use the state-protected patent object belonging to him. The licensee for this undertakes to pay the amount stipulated by such an agreement for the use of a patent. According to the exclusive license, the right to use is also transferred within the limits agreed by the contract. However, the licensor retains all rights to the patent, including the right to enter into other similar agreements.

In the field of copyright, its owner gives the licensee copy right. distribution of the circulation of the work, its processing, transmission through communication channels, etc., which can be carried out within the limits and in the ways provided for by the license agreement. Certain features have license agreements in the field of software. Works created lawfully according to the contract are called licensed, and those with violation of the exclusive rights of the author are called counterfeit.

The state establishes criminal liability for conducting a licensed activity without a license, if, at the same time, significant damage has been caused to it, legal entities and citizens or income has been generated on a large scale.

Why do you need accreditation

Accreditation means confirmation by authorized state bodies compliance with the standards of a particular object of accreditation. Typically, such a mechanism is used to assess the level of professional services by various organizations. Most often, accreditation of services is carried out in the field of:

  • Higher education.
  • Carrying out tests of goods, devices, etc. in laboratories.
  • Clinical diagnostics.
  • Calibration of various devices and instruments.
  • Certification of goods and services.

Usually this work is carried out by special government agencies that carry out their work in accordance with the rules approved by the government.

When accrediting educational organizations, their status is assigned or confirmed. Their type is fixed (secondary, higher, professional, etc.) and the type of its functioning (institute, academy, university, etc.). The accreditation procedure primarily provides for an assessment of the level of educational programs being implemented. In its course, it is determined how much the training of specialists meets state standards in this area. If the result is positive, a corresponding certificate is issued. This document on state accreditation with an annex to it gives the university the right to provide benefits provided by law and issue graduates with a diploma established by the state.

In addition to state accreditation, there is practice of accreditation by public organizations, trade unions. Such events raise the rating of the university. In the United States and Canada, the state does not accredit services in the field of medicine and education. These functions are assumed by authoritative non-state associations of various levels.

Laboratory services are usually accredited to meet international standards. In this case, the procedure involves:

  • The intention of the laboratory to be accredited.
  • Lack of any connection with the accreditation body.
  • Periodic verification of the accreditation body for competence.
  • Public availability of the rules by which accreditation is carried out.

The obtained accreditation certificate means that the laboratory complies with international standards. Accreditation can be carried out by a special state body or authorized non-governmental organizations.

There are special procedures for the accreditation of mass media by state bodies, public organizations, professional associations, etc. They require the provision of documents confirming the competence of specific media and their employees. Such accreditation can be permanent or for a fixed period and is confirmed by an accreditation card.

What is the difference

Fundamentally, a license differs from accreditation in that the first gives permission to carry out specific types of activities regulated by the state. The rights to use the object of patenting or copyright can also be transferred by right holders - individuals.

Accreditation means a special procedure for confirming the level of professional qualifications of organizations providing certain services. Such services may not be on the list of licensed ones.
