Exceptional circumstances and degree accreditation

As a result of ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, universities may need to make adjustments at short notice to ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØir accredited degree programmes due to ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ exceptional and unpredictable circumstances. Universities may be considering ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ effect of ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØse adjustments on ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØir accreditation and if ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØir degree programmes will still meet ÀÖÌìÌÃappÏÂÔØ standards. We have developed some guidance to help with this and hopefully answer any questions.
