Our 1,700 members promote high professional standards by exchanging ideas, sharing goals, preparing counselors to serve students, and adhering to a set of ethical guidelines and practices.
We are an affiliate of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), which represents over 10,000 members worldwide.
SACAC is a dynamic and growing association of roughly 1500 college admission professionals in the nine states of the Southeast and the Caribbean. Memberships run September 1 to August 31 and cost $45 per year for each member at an institution or organization.
