The AQC process represents a commitment to establishing quality measurements for curriculum designed exclusively for an online, distance education delivery format.

AQC is not accreditation. However, AQC utilizes peer reviewers who are grounded in experience with core academic functions at accredited institutions.

This rating form is designed to align with an external quality review system carried out by an extensive network of higher education curriculum experts (peer review) that is the hallmark of accreditation. It is also designed to provide educators and instructional designers with meaningful, relevant feedback, consistent with principles of quality enhancement and improvement.
