Useful Links Academic Common Market Handbook Overview of the Program The Academic Common Market (ACM) is a tuition-savings program designed for college students who live in the 16 Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) member states. The ACM allows students to pay in-state tuition to study in a program not offered in their home state, provided they have been accepted into an approved degree program at a participating ACM institution. Program eligibility varies by state according to the specific agreements made with its colleges and universities. Each state maintains its own ACM coordinator who certifies student residencies for ACM participation and facilitates nominations for new programs. Only programs that culminate in a baccalaureate degree or higher are available for ACM participation in Tennessee. For participation in the ACM, interested students must: Live in Tennessee; Select a program eligible for Tennessee residents through the SREB program search; Be admitted into the eligible program by a participating institution; and Be certified as a resident by the Tennessee ACM coordinator. This handbook outlines the Tennessee Higher Education Commission’s ACM policies and procedures. The following chapter details the Student Certification Process. 2 Academic Common Market Handbook Student Certification Process Tennessee students who wish to participate in the ACM must complete the student certification process.
