The Global Educational Registry (GER) operates as the principal institutional accreditation verification mechanism established pursuant to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) Digital Educational Framework Agreement of 2012, as amended. The Registry serves as the authoritative reference database for the validation of accreditation status, institutional standing, and credential recognition across participating member states and affiliated observer jurisdictions.
Under the provisions of Regulation (EAEU) No. 2019/1103 on Cross-Border Educational Data Governance, the GER is mandated to maintain comprehensive records of all institutions holding recognized accreditation from national quality assurance bodies operating within the framework of the EAEU Mutual Recognition Protocol. The Registry's operational scope encompasses degree-granting institutions, vocational training centres, and specialized professional certification bodies across 47 countries and territories.
All data contained within the Registry is subject to the GER Data Integrity and Retention Policy (Document Ref: GER/POL/2021-04) and is refreshed on a quarterly synchronization cycle in coordination with national accreditation authorities. Enquiries regarding data accuracy or institutional records should be directed to the Office of Registry Operations via the designated communication channels published on this website.
Registry Service Charter
The Registry Service Charter defines the operating commitments applied to public verification, institutional record administration, status publication, and stakeholder enquiries. These commitments support a consistent public record that can be understood by institutions, learners, employers, professional bodies, researchers, and other legitimate users of registry information.
Registry operations are organized around documented evidence, controlled changes, clear ownership, and proportionate review. Each published record is intended to provide a concise and traceable statement of the institution, the responsible authority, the applicable reference number, and the status held in the registry at the time of consultation.
Traceability
Reference numbers, authority names, status fields, and change records provide a durable path back to the controlling registry entry.
Consistency
Common status terminology and publication rules are applied across participating accreditation and authorization authorities.
Accessibility
Core verification information is presented in plain, structured language and made available through openly accessible public pages.
Procedural Neutrality
Records are displayed according to the notified decision and status, without altering the substantive determination of the responsible authority.
Service Continuity
Operational controls support stable public access, recoverability, and orderly restoration of registry services when maintenance is required.
Public Record Lifecycle
Institutional records move through a controlled lifecycle. The sequence is designed to preserve provenance, separate administrative validation from substantive decision-making, and ensure that public changes can be reconciled with the underlying authority record.
Control 01
Record Intake
A new entry, decision notice, scheduled return, or material-change notification is received and assigned for processing.
Control 02
Source Validation
Institution identity, issuing authority, reference number, decision date, and supporting record are checked for completeness.
Control 03
Registry Reconciliation
The incoming information is compared with the existing entry to identify additions, corrections, conflicts, and superseded fields.
Control 04
Quality Review
A publication check confirms terminology, formatting, status logic, authority attribution, and record-reference integrity.
Control 05
Public Release
The approved registry entry is published to the verification service and becomes available for public consultation.
Control 06
Monitoring & Retention
The record remains subject to scheduled synchronization, notified changes, correction review, and controlled historical retention.

Status Interpretation & Public Use
A status is meaningful only when read together with the institution name, the responsible accreditation or authorization authority, the registry reference number, and any published review information. Users should not rely on a status label detached from its complete registry entry.
| Registry Status | Administrative Meaning | Recommended Public Action |
|---|---|---|
| ACCREDITED | The institution holds a current accreditation record issued under the applicable authority framework. | Confirm the authority, reference number, scope, and current registry entry. |
| AUTHORIZED | The institution holds a current institutional authorization recorded by the named authorization authority. | Use the published authorization number when requesting or citing verification. |
| PROVISIONAL | Recognition is time-limited, conditional, developmental, or subject to specified follow-up requirements. | Review the controlling authority record and any scheduled follow-up conditions. |
| UNDER REVIEW | A formal assessment, continuing-review action, or status determination remains open. | Consult the registry again when the authority publishes a completed determination. |
| SUSPENDED | The previously recorded status is temporarily inactive while the responsible authority addresses an open matter. | Seek current written confirmation before relying on the prior status. |
| REVOKED | The previously recorded accreditation or authorization has been withdrawn by the responsible authority. | Treat the historical entry as inactive and verify any later or superseding decision separately. |
Institutions
Confirm published identity, authority attribution, reference data, and notified status changes.
Learners & Families
Check the complete current entry before using registry information in an education decision.
Employers & Review Bodies
Record the authority and reference number alongside the institution name and verification date.
Researchers & Public Users
Distinguish current status data from historical, statistical, or descriptive website content.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the verification process for institutional accreditation status?
Users may query the Registry by entering the institution name, accreditation reference number, or country of registration in the search interface above. The system returns the current accreditation status as recorded during the most recent quarterly synchronization cycle. Results reflect data provided by recognised national quality assurance bodies.
What do the accreditation status designations mean?
"Accredited" indicates the institution holds current, valid accreditation from a recognised national authority. "Provisional" indicates accreditation has been granted subject to conditions or pending completion of a review cycle. "Suspended" indicates accreditation has been temporarily withdrawn pending investigation or remediation. "Revoked" indicates accreditation has been permanently withdrawn.
How frequently is Registry data updated?
The Registry operates on a quarterly synchronization cycle, during which data is refreshed in coordination with national accreditation authorities across all 47 participating countries and territories. Emergency updates may be issued outside the standard cycle in cases of accreditation revocation or suspension.
How can I report a data discrepancy or error?
Data discrepancy reports should be submitted through the designated communication channels published on this website. All reports are reviewed by the Office of Registry Operations within 15 working days. Corrections, where warranted, are applied during the next scheduled synchronization cycle or via emergency update if the discrepancy materially affects an institution's recorded status.
Is the Registry data legally authoritative?
The GER serves as a verification reference tool. While the Registry reflects data provided by recognised national quality assurance bodies, the authoritative determination of accreditation status rests with the relevant national authority in each jurisdiction. The GER does not itself confer, amend, or revoke accreditation.
Can institutions request amendments to their Registry records?
Institutions seeking amendments to their records must submit a formal request through their national accreditation authority, which will communicate the change to the GER during the next synchronization cycle. Direct amendments by institutions are not permitted under the current data governance framework (Ref: GER/POL/2021-04, Section 7.3).
Official Verification Protocol

Record whether the entry is maintained under RCSAI, CCHE, ICAS, or another named authority.
- 3
Capture the reference number
Use the complete accreditation, authorization, or registry reference without abbreviation.
- 4
Read the current status in context
Consider conditions, review activity, scope, and any later status event shown in the record.
- 5
Record the consultation date
Registry information may change following review, correction, renewal, suspension, or revocation.
- 6
Retain the canonical page address
Use the official registry URL so another user can repeat the verification independently.

Data Governance & Change Control
Registry administration separates record ownership, evidence validation, publication quality assurance, and technical delivery. This separation supports accountable changes and reduces the risk that an unverified amendment is presented as an official status event.
| Control Objective | Registry Method | Control Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Identity integrity | Institution names and key identifiers are reconciled before entry creation or amendment. | Named record, reference number, jurisdiction and authority association. |
| Authority attribution | The substantive decision remains associated with the body responsible for issuing it. | Authority name, decision reference and published status. |
| Change authorization | Material amendments are processed through a controlled notification and validation path. | Change request, source record, review outcome and effective entry. |
| Publication quality | Displayed fields are reviewed for status logic, consistency, readability and technical completeness. | Publication check and synchronized public output. |
| Historical continuity | Superseded information is managed so that current entries remain distinguishable from earlier states. | Effective dates, retained references and controlled update history. |
| Correction handling | Reported discrepancies are logged, assessed against supporting evidence, and resolved through the responsible record owner. | Correction reference, evidence review and recorded disposition. |
Material Change Notifications
Institutions and participating authorities are expected to identify changes that may affect legal identity, ownership, governance, delivery location, institutional scope, award structure, operating status, or the accuracy of a public registry entry.
Official Communication Integrity
Formal registry correspondence should identify the institution and reference number, state the requested action, name an accountable contact, and include sufficient supporting documentation for the request to be independently assessed.
