Special Statement

Changes Made to the Code of Ethics and Professional Practice (CEPP)
on September 28, 2019
at the NACAC Conference in Louisville
Impacting WACAC Members

As most of you know, the Western Association for College Admission Counseling (WACAC) is an affiliate organization of the National Organization for College Admission Counseling (NACAC). Part of that affiliate relationship mandates that NACAC’s CEPP is also WACAC’s CEPP.

This is why we wish to inform you of permanent changes to the CEPP that were voted on and approved by the NACAC Assembly on September 28, 2019 at the NACAC Conference in Louisville, Kentucky. These changes were proposed and approved as part of an agreement between NACAC and the Department of Justice (DOJ) Anti-Trust Division to end their investigation of NACAC through a consent decree pending approval in court. The following portions of the CEPP were removed and reflect the only areas of the document the DOJ considers restraint of trade. The following changes are effective immediately.

As a Philadelphia Eagles fan, Dec. 19, 2010 is one of the fondest dates in team history to look back upon. Playing a late season game against the New York Giants with first place on the line, the Eagles trailed 31-10 with just under eight minutes to go. What followed...
