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

For information on the Academic Common Market see the Southern Regional Education Board Academic Common Market website.

• RRP registration request will only be accepted through ARCHIVUM.
• Students in RRP are registered into classes by the Academic and Student Affairs (ASA) office of the College of Public Health.  Students CANNOT register themselves into RRP courses.
• If you are registering for a contract course, the course must be approved through ARCHIVUM before you can submit a RRP registration request for the course.  Begin working with your faculty mentor on your contract course before registration submission opens to ensure you meet the deadline.
• By submitting your registration request, you agree that you understand the withdrawal Policy.  If you do not attend, you are responsible for dropping classes before the end of Drop/Add period. You also understand non-attendance or notifying the professor does not constitute a drop or withdrawal.  Students are responsible for dropping undesired courses by the 5th day of classes to avoid fee liability and academic penalty (See USF Regulation – Registration - 4.0101)
• While enrolled in the reduced rate program you can only take approved reduced rate courses within the College of Public Health.
• Once registered into courses you will see RRP charges as well as in-state and out-of-state charges.  Once your tuition waiver is submitted and processed, the in-state and out-of-state fees will be dropped and you will only be responsible for the reduced rate fees.
• All tuition must be paid by the posted payment deadline.  Failure to pay by the deadline will result in your classes being dropped for non-payment of tuition.
