Frequently Asked Questions
About the Academic Common Market
What is the purpose of the ACM?
The Academic Common Market is an agreement among 16 Southern Regional Education Board states. According to the agreement, if one of these participating states does not offer a particular degree program through its state-supported insitutions, a resident of that state may enroll in that degree program at an institution in one of the other states without having to pay out-of-state tuition. Each state specifies which programs offered at out of-state universities it will allow its residents to attend as common market students.
What states are included in the ACM?
Alabama, Arkansas, Deleware, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia are all states that participate in the ACM. The states of Florida, North Carolina and Texas do not participate in the Academic Common Market at the undergraduate level.
