The Southern Association for College Admission Counseling, a
nonprofit, professional association, was founded in 1966 as a chartered
affiliate of the National Association for College Admission Counseling
(NACAC). Approximately
1,600 members from secondary schools, colleges and universities,
and educational consulting firms in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, and the Caribbean work to promote high professional standards
in the college admission process by exchanging ideas, sharing common
goals and preparing counselors to serve students in the transition
from high school to college. Additionally, over 250 non-voting associate
members from 30 other states participate in the association.
The Statement of Principles of Good Practice, a code of ethics for the college admission process, was the impetus for NACAC's creation in 1937 and is the foundation on which the association operates. Members cooperate in the development of programs and services in post secondary counseling, admission and financial aid to eliminate bias and to promote the dignity, worth and potential of all students.
