Who is Southern Association of Independent Schools

Founded in 1895, The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools is currently comprised of the Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (CA SI) and the Commission on Colleges (COC). The Commission on Colleges was founded in 1917 and was organized to develop standards and a process for accrediting colleges and universities in the South. SACSCOC has the responsibility for assuring the educational quality and improvement of the effectiveness of our member institutions located throughout eleven southern states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia), several international institutions and all of their approved locations (including branch campuses and off-campus instructional sites irrespective of their location) that grant associate, baccalaureate, master's and doctoral degrees. When an institution has earned accreditation by SACSCOC, it signifies that it has "a purpose appropriate to higher education and has resources, programs, and services sufficient to accomplish and sustain that purpose. In addition to ensuring that its institutions provide quality programs for students which determines eligibility for Title IV funds (student financial aid), SACSCOC works to influence legislation and regulations that impact the work of its member institutions. The SACSCOC accrediting process and all of its policies, processes, procedures, and decisions are based on the concepts of integrity or dealing openly and honestly with its member institutions and quality or an on-going program of improvement that ensures fulfillment of their stated mission.Read more
