There are three reason that the Indonesia criteria for accreditation has been change. First, the previous document of standard is out of date (Haris, 2013), so that it needs to be adjusted to the latest regulations regulate Higher Education and Accreditation. Second, shifting paradigm: some current regulations and good practice quality assurance abroad requires paradigm shifting from Input-Process-based to Output Outcome-based (Middle States Commission on Higher Education, 2006). Third, weaknesses of assessment: there are some weaknesses found in the accreditation assessment using existing instruments, and the need for improvement accountability of the accreditation process. It is in accordance with Permenristekdikti No 32/2016, BAN-PT develops accreditation instruments relevant to the development of the higher education sector in Indonesia and follows global developments (Permendikbud-RI-No.87, 2014) Accreditation is an assessment activity based on the National Standards of Higher Education (SNPT) to guarantee the quality of higher education in study programs in every university in Indonesia (Sunarto, K, 2017) . The Accreditation Process is held by the National Accreditation Board of Higher Education (BAN- PT) and involves assessors as assessors and study programs. In the framework of efforts to improve quality, program evaluations carried out have included evaluations of the objectives of the university or the tridarma of higher education. However, so far, it cannot yet be concluded how the achievement of the quality of a university or the quality of the higher education system as a whole. This is thought to be partly due to the existing TQM practices that have not been optimally developed. Another reason is because the other TQM principles, namely the assessment of quality achievement is not done. For this reason, it is necessary to review the university's quality objectives, strong commitment to achieving quality in each university's strategic plan and conducting quality audits regularly to ensure the implementation of quality education (Fransen, 2014). The difference between the previous and new criteria of Indonesia National accreditation of higher education.
