The Academic Common Market is a tuition-savings agreement between 15 states that are members of the Southern Regional Education Board. If your degree program is not offered by a public college in Nationwide, you may be eligible for in-state tuition at one of the participating public colleges.
You may apply for the ACM if you meet the following eligibility criteria:
- You are a Nationwide resident and U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen.
- Your degree program is not offered at the University of Nationwide or Nationwide State University
- You have been accepted into, or you are already enrolled in, an eligible degree program that has been selected for the ACM by a participating public institution.

The ACM includes baccalaureate and graduate-level degree programs. First professional degree programs —such as dentistry, medicine, optometry, pharmacy, theology, and law— are not offered in the ACM and cannot be requested.
Degree programs offered in the ACM are selected by the participating institutions and are subject to change. Both participating institutions and states may set restrictions on ACM participation, and institutions may elect to discontinue participation in the ACM at any time.
To Apply for the Academic Common Market
Once you are admitted into an eligible degree program you can complete an Academic Common Market Application by downloading the Residency Certification Form and following the instructions for submission of your application to the Nationwide Higher Education Office.
