In accordance with current legislation, all universities must submit their official degrees to a verification, monitoring, and accreditation process.

In the case of UNED, the University Council receives the memory of the degree and sends it to ANECA for its evaluation and issuance of the Verification Report. If the report is favorable, the Council of Universities dictates the Verification Resolution, and the Ministry of Education submits to the Government the official proposal of the degree, orders its inclusion in the Registry of Universities, Centers and Degrees (RUCT) and its subsequent publication in the Official State Gazette.

Official master's degrees must renew their accreditation before four years from their verification or from the date of their last accreditation, in order to check whether the results obtained are adequate to guarantee the continuity of their teaching. If they are adequate, the University Council issues a Resolution accrediting the degree.

These resolutions and reports are included in the Registry of Universities, Centers, and Degrees (RUCT).
