Abstract
This paper focuses on the design and implementation of a web-based accreditation management system to assist in managing Ashesi University's accreditation processes. It seeks to provide a detailed outline of the processes, decisions and outcomes involved in this project, as well as the motivation behind everything. Accreditation is a review process meant to evaluate educational programs to see if they fulfill certain quality standards. In Ghana, this review process is monitored and coordinated by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission, GTEC. This process is required of every degree-awarding tertiary institution for the institution to remain in good educational standing. Accreditation in Ghana is usually carried out every 3 to 5 years.
