Abstract	INQAAHE is working to improve the portability of degrees and credits across national boundaries. By defining "good practices" for quality assurance agencies, INQAAHE will promote mutual recognition among agencies in different countries and the acceptance of their accreditation decisions outside their own country. This will allow students and others to rely on the judgments of the local quality assurance agency where the institution granting the degree or credits is located. This paper outlines the nature and importance of the Guidelines of Good Practice (GGP), describes how they were created and modified, and explains recommendations for various uses of the GGP made by INQAAHE members during their last meeting. The paper identifies ways in which the GGP could be enhanced and argues for coordination of the INQAAHE guidelines with those produced by international, regional, national, and other agencies. (Contains 2 notes.) (Author).
