Some Out-of-State Students to Pay In-State Tuition and Fees....

The Academic Common Market (UNC-ACM) is a cooperative tuition-reduction agreement among 16 states that participate in the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB): Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.

The application deadline is the date by which the Office of Graduate Admissions should receive your online application and supporting documents, including test scores (if needed). Thus, you are strongly encouraged to apply and submit your materials early. While most graduate programs follow the Graduate School's standard/priority application deadlines, some programs have early deadline dates and only admit students to specific terms. Consult the Graduate Programs website for details on the Graduate School's priority application deadlines as well as the early deadlines for specific programs. 

Applications received after the Graduate School's standard (priority) deadlines will be processed until such time that individual programs notify us that they have reached their enrollment capacity for a given term. Also, in some cases, programs confirm their new incoming class well before the published application deadlines, so please apply early. The University may alter the date for acceptance of applications without further notice in accordance with available resources and/or the enrollment limitation established by the North Carolina General Assembly.
