Accreditation applies to the entire institution in operation at the time of the most recent full-scale evaluation. It indicates that each constituent or related unit has been examined and found to be achieving its own particular purposes satisfactorily, although not necessarily, all at the same level of quality.

Normally, it involves three major activities:
1- A self-study by an institution or program using the predefined benchmark or criteria of WADE
2- A peer review of an institution or program to collect the confirmation of quality.
3- A decision or judgment by our faculty to accredit, accredit with conditions or not accredit an institution or program.
