Higher Education Quality Committee Information System (HEQCIS)
Welcome to the Higher Education Quality Committee Information System (HEQCIS)
What is the HEQCIS?
The HEQCIS is a CHE information system that stores information about the qualifications that private higher education institutions may offer, and the learner enrolments and achievements against them.
The HEQCIS in turn serves as a tool to populate the National Learners' Records Database (NLRD) held and maintained by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA). The CHE is required to submit this information to the NLRD for all higher education institutions.
How To Participate
There are three steps to the HEQCIS data collection process. Follow these easy steps to comply.
It will take you more or less 3 months to complete the full process. It is difficult to determine beforehand precisely how long each individual step will take. Therefore the indicated timeframe (in brackets) should be taken as an estimation that may be shorter or longer depending on your specific case. You can download the documentation required per step beforehand to speed up the process.
After each step we will give you feedback before you continue to the next step.
