Exceptions and alternate routes
Required evidence is unavailable
Record the missing item and propose a witness, existing register reference or independently verified substitute. The completeness review remains open.
Interplanetary communication is interrupted
Record local receipt time and the delegated action available. Preserve a mirrored log for later reconciliation; do not invent a remote approval.
An adverse finding affects the requester
Provide the finding, allow a response, disclose the review route and preserve essential service continuity where applicable.
Institutional interfaces
Start the record
Prepare a requestThe assessment behind the stage diagram
The receiving evaluator identifies equivalence, specific gaps, accessible assessment and any professional-body interface. Missing original records have an explained verification alternative.
Qualification records, assessed outcomes and supervision evidence are compared for the requested scope. Remote or transit study is assessed on competence rather than dismissed by location.
Possible decisions and what follows
Recognition, conditional recognition with a named remaining assessment, a partial scope or a reasoned refusal.
The determination states what it recognises. A separate operating licence is not implied by academic equivalence.
Duties after the finding
Keep the scope accurate
Tell the receiving office about a material change in location, activity, operator, record custodian or requested result. The original receipt remains in the history.
Respect source custody
Provide purpose-specific references and authorised representations. Personal, clinical, commercial and protected scientific records have different access scopes.
Respond to a qualified finding
Read the conditions and the institution that owns them. A request for further evidence identifies the specific unresolved issue and the route for an alternative.
Preserve the follow-up
The determination states what it recognises. A separate operating licence is not implied by academic equivalence.
Disagreement, assistance and evidence alternatives
A completeness query names the unresolved evidence and the alternative the receiving office can assess. An administrative complaint concerns service handling; a legal appeal concerns a finding and its competent remedy. A public petition asks a representative institution to examine a wider issue.
