This is an interim tool that is to be used by the Higher Education Institutions that are not electronically connected through the MOHESR Master API for automatic and live data transfer. These Higher Education Institutions should use this tool only for submitting the data required to calculate the OBF KPIs for the renewal of program accreditation and institutional licensure to avoid any lapses in accreditation validity. Please consult the Licensure and Accreditation Requirements Manual for relevant information.
