3) Use of an Evaluation Rubric Based on the Three Program

Accreditation Codes of Practice (Rubric 3C) for the Purpose

of Evaluation of Accreditation Applications (July 2, 2024)

To enhance the assessment of accreditation applications, the Malaysian

Qualifications Agency (MQA) has introduced the 3C Rubric. This rubric is

designed to assess the three Program Accreditation Codes of Practice (COPPA,

COPPA, and COPTPA) and aims to ensure consistent quality measurement. The 3C

Rubric will be utilized by Higher Education Providers, Assessment Panel

Members, and MQA Officers during program accreditation evaluations.

It's important to note that the 3C Rubric does not modify, add, or remove any

standards from the existing Program Accreditation Codes of Practice. Instead, the

existing standards have been reorganized and grouped to align with the specified

assessment constructs.
