Eastern Kentucky University participates in the Academic Common Market, a program allowing out-of-state students to pursue a degree at EKU at the in-state resident tuition rate due to the program not being offered in their home state. Please visit the Southern Regional Education Board website, sreb.org, to determine if the degree program is one of the programs offered through the Academic Common Market program. Students who qualify for ACM can use this benefit when they are enrolled full time in fall and spring terms only (up to 8 total terms). If the student changes his or her major, the student will lose the waiver and will be charged the appropriate out-of-state tuition rate.
Note: If a student is offered a merit scholarship/Out-of-State Discount and is eligible for the Academic Common Market waiver, the scholarship will be canceled to utilize the ACM Waiver.
Who is Eligible?
You must be a resident of a member state of the SREB to qualify for the ACM:
*Florida and Texas participate in the ACM at the graduate level only.
