Remaining in the 学术共同市场

Requirements for Remaining in the ACM Program

Change of major and/or concentration, 申请双学位, lack of full-time and continuous enrollment (Fall & 仅限春季学期), and lack of good 学术 standing will lead to loss of the 学术共同市场 tuition credit.

Changing Major and/or Concentration

  • Students receive an ACM Certification for one specific major and concentration only.  任何 change of major and/or concentration after initial ACM approval will cause a loss of the ACM tuition reduction.

  • If you make a change to your ACM major and/or concentration for the current semester you are in, you will owe back the ACM tuition credit received for that semester, and will not receive the ACM tuition credit for upcoming semesters.

  • If you make a change to your ACM major and/or concentration for a future semester, you will not receive the ACM tuition credit for the future semester, or for any semester going forward.

  • Changing to any other ACM-eligible major and/or concentration requires a new ACM application and Certification for a future semester.

双专业

The Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) guidelines state, “Independent combinations of available degrees programs … should not be considered, nor should double major/minor combinations that are independently set by students.  If both major programs of study qualify for inclusion in ACM, then the state and institution may allow the student to enroll in both programs.

  • ACM students that declare a second major that is not ACM eligible for the student’s state of residence will be granted a 5-day grace period to drop the non-ACM eligible major before their ACM tuition reduction is removed.

  • ACM students that change out of their ACM-approved major will lose the ACM tuition reduction.

  • In order to avoid loss of ACM and/or back billing, students that wish to receive ACM under a new ACM-eligible major must apply for ACM under the new major prior to changing out of their current ACM-approved major.

Lack of Full and Continuous Enrollment

Students must be fully and continuously enrolled each major semester (Fall/Spring) in order to receive the ACM tuition credits. 

  • Undergraduate ACM participants must have a minimum of 12 credit hours each major semester (Fall/Spring).

  • Students will receive the ACM tuition credit for part-time or full-time Summer coursework, as well as part-time Winter course work, including on-line courses.

  • Graduate ACM participants must have a minimum of nine (9) credit hours each major semester (Fall/Spring).

  • If a student is registered with Disability Support Services and an accommodation for a reduced course load is advised, the student must notify the Department Chair and/or Academic Advisor.

ACM will continue without continuous enrollment under the following conditions only:

  • Withdrawal due to medical, mental health, or other personal emergency.

  • In order to receive ACM upon your return to FSU, you must notify the ACM Coordinator in the Provost’s Office prior to your return, register for coursework in the same ACM-eligible major, and be enrolled full-time (Fall/Spring).

  • Study Aboard – Notify the ACM Coordinator prior to leaving for study abroad and upon your return to FSU in order to receive ACM when registering for the next semester of coursework. 

  • The ACM tuition credit only covers course work taken at FSU, so it will not cover tuition for your study abroad experience.

学习成绩差

You must remain in good 学术 standing in your ACM-eligible major to continue receiving ACM tuition benefits.

  • Students must maintain the required GPA of the program they are in, as well as continuing to progress in the required course load for the major.

  • Students will continue to receive ACM tuition benefits while on 学术 缓刑.

  • ACM tuition benefits cease if a student is advised that they must change out of a major and the new major is not an approved ACM major. 

  • ACM tuition benefits cease if a student fails to raise the cumulative GPA or progress in the required course load for the major.

  • ACM tuition benefits cease if a student is placed on Academic Dismissal or cannot register for courses due to a judiciary suspension.
