The Academic Common Market (ACM), is an arrangement
among Southern states allowing students to pay in-state tuition rates at out-of-state schools while studying in select programs not available at Virginia public institutions.

Beginning September 1, 2009, the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) is not processing any new requests for additions to the inventory of out of state programs available to Virginia residents through the ACM. This restriction will remain in effect until further notice.

Virginia residents may submit applications only for programs listed in the current inventory. Click on the links below to see programs available to Virginia residents who meet eligibility.

ACADEMIC COMMON MARKET DISCLAIMER
As the coordinating agency for the Commonwealth of Virginia’s participation in the SREB’s Academic Common Market (ACM), the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) reserves the right at its discretion and at any time to remove academic programs offered by Virginia institutions from the ACM and/or remove access to academic programs at out-of-state institutions offered to Virginians through the ACM. Students interested in applying to the ACM are encouraged to contact SCHEV when application is made to an out-of-state institution/program and to inquire on the program’s status (either active or inactive) for Virginia residents. Students who begin studies at one institution with the intent to transfer to an ACM institution/program are not guaranteed ACM access if the respective program is removed from the ACM during their time at the institution of origin.
