Once an official title has been implemented, for which it must first obtain verification from the Council of Universities and authorization from the Autonomous Community, the Royal Decree 861/2010, of July 2, by which Royal Decree 1393/2007, of October 29, is modified, establishes the need to monitor it until the moment in which it must be subjected to new assessment to renew its accreditation. Said renewal in the case of Degree and Doctorate programs must be before six years from the date of their initial verification or from the last accreditation. In the case of Master's degrees, it must be within four years.
The follow-up process has two main functions: to verify the proper implementation of the degree in accordance with what was formulated in the initial project presented by the university, and to analyze the main results of its implementation.
A study plan follow-up process must be one of the central instruments of the university's continuous improvement strategy.
The university is primarily responsible for the follow-up process of its study programs and must use the instruments provided in its ISQA to ensure its quality.
The Protocol for the follow-up and renewal of the accreditation of study programs prepared by the University Commission for the Regulation of the Follow-up and Accreditation (CURSA) approved by the Council of Universities and the General Conference of University Policy in July 2010, establishes the general framework for the development of this program.
The protocol establishes that the purposes of the follow-up of study programs are:
Likewise and in general, the follow-up tries to demonstrate the progress in the development of the Internal System of Quality Assurance (ISQA) of the degree both in relation to the review of the application of the study plan and the proposal of actions to improve its design and implementation.
