How to apply

  • Download an application for Fall 2008 (in PDF format; requires the free Acrobat Reader). You can also pick up application materials from the campus program advisor. Students from non-ACM colleges must contact the ACM office in Chicago.
  • Check with the program advisor for the application deadlines on your campus. The program advisor can answer your questions about the program and perhaps put you in touch with past participants from your campus.
  • Stop by the financial aid office to find out about remaining eligible for financial aid.
  • Check with the program advisor and/or off-campus studies office about the amount and distribution of credit for the program.
  • Return the completed application to the program advisor by your campus’ deadline. For the fall 2008 semester, ACM must receive completed applications (having gone through all on-campus procedures) by November 1, 2007 for regular decision or by March 15, 2008 for late decision. Early applicants have an advantage over those who wait for the second deadline.
  • If you’re accepted, pay a non-refundable $400 deposit directly to the ACM office in Chicago to secure your place. The deposit will be applied to your program fee. The remainder of the program fee is paid to your home ACM college.
