What does TRAC mean in UNCLASSIFIED

The Thames Region Accreditation Consortium (TRAC) is a voluntary non-profit organization that works to further academic excellence in education by providing a network of accredited institutions with quality assurance. Members benefit from having access to a wide range of resources and services, such as professional development, guidance on assessment and evaluation procedures, and the ability to establish international recognition for their programs.

To become a member of TRAC you must meet certain criteria including being an accredited institution, successfully submitting an application form as well as adhering to the standards set out in the TRAC Constitution. Once all criteria has been met, your institution can join the consortium and benefit from its many advantages.

Eligibility for membership in TRAC includes postsecondary institutions that are fully or partially state-recognised, which have achieved and maintain accreditation through either regional or specialized accrediting agencies. In addition, institutions must demonstrate substantial compliance with established educational standards and possess appropriate governance structures.

Institution memberships fees may differ according to each individual member's circumstances; however all applicants must pay an application fee in order to apply for consideration into TRAC. This fee varies depending on the size of the applicant institution but is currently set at £200 (or equivalent).

Becoming an official member of TRAC does not guarantee any improvements in unit rankings within educational establishments; however it can be beneficial in improving institutional visibility among peers who recognize its achievements as meeting global standards. It can also help enhance overall program offerings on national levels due to its rigorous quality assurance process.

When an institution becomes ‘accredited' through TRAC it has fulfilled several objectives and criteria related to teaching practice and curriculum innovations which allow it to gain recognition among peers both nationally and internationally; this means that students enrolled at these institutions receive credits which are recognized by educational governing bodies around the world.
