Tanzania Commission for Universities

The Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) was established on 1st July2005, under the Universities Act  (Chapter 346 of the Laws of Tanzania) to succeed the former Higher Education Accreditation Council which had been in operation since 1995. Prior to the establishment of TCU, all universities and non-university level higher education institutions implemented their mandatory functions as stipulated in their individual Acts of Parliament or constitutions including the development of internal quality assurance systems. Under the Universities Act, all Acts of Parliament that established public universities and university colleges were repealed and these and all other similar institutions were required by law to register themselves under TCU through which they could be processed for grant of Charters by His Excellency the President of the United Republic of Tanzania.

TCU is thus a body corporate mandated to recognize, approve, register and accredit universities operating in Tanzania, and local or foreign university level programs being offered by non-TCU registered higher education institutions. TCU also coordinates the proper functioning of all university institutions in Tanzania so as to foster a harmonized higher education system in the country. In order to ensure that such a harmonious higher education system does not compromise institutional peculiarities and autonomy, each university has the legal right to operate under its own Charter.
