Undergraduate Academic Common Market Update

Georgia Tech has made the decision to withdraw from the Academic Common Market on the undergraduate level. Undergraduate students who begin enrollment starting in the summer semester of 2011 or later at Georgia Tech will not be eligible for the Academic Common Market. Prior to the summer semester of 2011, Georgia Tech will participate in the Academic Common Market in the following undergraduate degree programs and states listed below. Any student who enrolls prior to summer semester 2011 and is eligible for the Academic Common Market will be grandfathered into the program as long as the student remains eligible.

The Academic Common Market (ACM) is an interstate agreement for sharing educational programs and facilities, allowing students to participate in selected programs not offered in their home states without having to pay out-of-state tuition charges. The Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) coordinates the activities of the Academic Common Market for the sixteen participating states, which include Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.

One of the primary functions of the Academic Common Market is to assist states in offering together what they cannot offer alone. Programs are added to and removed from the Market on an annual basis in order to reflect the changing needs of participating states. The state of Georgia currently makes program changes once annually during the spring.
