Below is a list of commonly asked questions from the Academic Common Market Website.

What is the Academic Common Market?
- The Academic Common Market is a tuition-savings program for college students in the 16 SREB member states who want to pursue degrees in fields that are not offered by their in-state institutions. These students enroll in out-of-state universities that offer the specialized degree programs, and they pay only the in-state tuition rates.

Who qualifies?
- To qualify for the Academic Common Market, a student must be a resident of an SREB member state and must be admitted unconditionally into an out-of-state degree program that is listed in the Academic Common Market inventory.

Let's say I attend an out-of-state university as an Academic Common Market student but later change my major to a program that is available in my home state. Will I have to pay back the money that I saved in the years that I received ACM benefits? If I change my major to a different program that is not available in my home state, can I still pay reduced tuition through the Academic Common Market?
- Most ACM institutions will not require you to pay back tuition for the years that you received ACM benefits. However, if you change your major during a semester, the institution may charge you the out-of-state tuition rate for that semester. If you change your major to a different program that qualifies to be included in the Academic Common Market, you need to be recertified by your state coordinator.
