Academic Common Market

The Academic Common Market, a program coordinated by the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), provides students in 16 southern states the opportunity to enroll in selected programs at public institutions in other states and pay in-state tuition. To qualify a student must:

• be a resident of one of the 16 SREB states;
• select a program eligible for residents of his/her home state;
• complete the admission process at the institution offering the eligible Academic Common Market program;
• be certified as a resident of the home state by contacting the ACM coordinator for the student’s state of residence;
• register for a full schedule of courses that count toward the chosen major within the Academic Common Market;
• sign a contract acknowledging that adequate progress must be made each semester by the successful completion of courses required by the major.

Students may be removed from the Academic Common Market for failure to comply with these conditions.
