Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)

Coursework or degrees from schools that have not been accredited by one of the above listed regional accreditation associations may be accepted if a regionally accredited school considers the coursework or degree to be an acceptable prerequisite for admission to an advance degree program.

For example, if a regionally accredited school accepts an applicant’s bachelor’s degree for admittance into a graduate degree program, the Administrative Office of Courts’ (AOC) Human Resources Division will accept the college coursework if a regional accredited school accepts the coursework towards a post-secondary degree (e.g., a bachelor’s degree). This must be documented by a letter of acceptance from the regionally accredited school.

The AOC Human Resources Division will review such requests on a case-by-case basis.

Note: This policy is subject to change. Other state agencies, and/or branches of government may have additional requirements.

*The term “regionally accredited school” refers to an institution of higher education accredited by one of the above listed accreditation associations.
