Thanks to special agreements through the Academic Common Market (ACM), students from select states may receive in-state tuition at the University of Kentucky. Eligibility is based upon state of residence and degree program.

Find your state and learn more about eligible programs in our college below.

NOTE: This list accurate as of Oct 2023 and is subject to change with no notice.

How Does It Work?

The ACM process begins by applying to the University of Kentucky. Upon acceptance into an ACM eligible major, students will need to contact their state ACM representatives and complete the verfication process. The student's UK Admission Letter can be used as major verification. If additional major verification is needed, please contact residency@uky.edu. 

The University of Kentucky will receive the student's eligibility letter from the state representative and the new ACM status will reflect on their account. Students must remain continuously enrolled in an ACM eligible program to receive these benefits.
