Notes

This entity records the professional accreditations for the course

Where the course is accredited in a way that gives the student something specific back then a short textual description should be given in Accreditation.ACCTYPE. In all cases the accrediting body should be returned in Accreditation.ACCBODYID .

This entity must not be returned where Course.KISTYPE = 2 or 3.

This entity must not be reported for fields that do not have professional accreditation.

The XML structure allows for up to 10 accreditations to be recorded for a single KIS.

If accreditation is at the institution rather than course level, provided accreditation applies to all courses offered by the institution it should be recorded on every KIS.
