The Academic Common Market includes four-year undergraduate and graduate-level degree programs. First professional degree programs, such as dentistry, law, medicine, optometry, pharmacy, and veterinary medicine, are not offered in the ACM.

Your eligibility for the ACM is dependent on your enrollment status. Students who must complete coursework before they are fully admitted to the program of study are not eligible for ACM tuition savings until they are formally accepted into the major. In addition, students must meet the ACM requirements of the college they are attending, which may include full-time enrollment and maintaining a specified GPA
