A Checklist for Good Practice

Sharing Quality Higher Education Across Borders:
A Checklist for Good Practice
As follow-up to the 2004 statement, Sharing Quality Higher Education Across Borders: A Statement on Behalf of Higher Education Institutions Worldwide, the same four Associations (the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC), the American Council on Education (ACE), the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), and the International Association of Universities (IAU) elaborated a practical Checklist for Good Practice to be used by institutions. The statement identified a set of principles that should guide the provision of cross-border education and set forth a series of recommendations.  The 2006 Checklist is designed as a tool to help institutions ensure that the principles promoted by the Statement were being respected.

The Checklist for Good Practice provides a series of questions to assist institutions in designing and assessing their cross-border educational initiatives, and to guide them in putting the principles outlined in the statement into practice. Some questions relate to broad institutional efforts to set the appropriate strategic context for cross-border educational initiatives. Others are more relevant to the institution’s operational considerations in designing and implementing its cross-border activities.
It is applicable both in institutions that develop cross-border higher education
initiatives and for those where such programs will be delivered.
