SACSCOC

SACSCOC, or the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, is a regional accrediting body in the United States that evaluates and certifies the quality of higher education institutions in its region. Accreditation by SACSCOC ensures that colleges and universities meet certain educational standards, which helps maintain academic integrity, improves educational quality, and allows students to access federal financial aid. Institutions must undergo a rigorous review process to maintain their accredited status, which includes self-evaluations and peer assessments to ensure they continuously meet established criteria.
