The Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools is the recognized regional accrediting body in the eleven U.S. Southern states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia) and in Latin America for those institutions of higher education that award associate, baccalaureate, master's or doctoral degrees. The Commission on Colleges is the representative body of the College Delegate Assembly and is charged with carrying out the accreditation process.

We would like to extend our sympathy to the Christian Brothers University family (in Memphis, TN) on the passing of Brother Vincent Malham, the President, who was killed this weekend in a car accident.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the university community.
