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.
