Accreditation is currently of great relevance for the improvement of the quality indicators of Higher Education Institutions. It is characterized by being a process where each stage has its objectives and functions. This study focuses on self-assessment as it constitutes the starting point for the rest of the actions. It had the objective of analyzing the place of self-evaluation in the accreditation process, based on its characterization as a defining stage in said process. It is a non-experimental exploratory research with a descriptive cross-sectional methodological design. A questionnaire was applied to the main professors of this task in a State Public University. The analysis of the results shows similarities with recent research regarding the situations that are commonly faced during the self-evaluation, which opens the possibility to generate a proposal that contributes to improving the educational quality processes.
