Consortium Agreements

Federal regulations prohibit students from receiving financial aid from two schools during one semester. Students must receive financial aid from the institution in which they will receive the degree. If a student plans to enroll at another college while attending SCC, the student must pay the tuition, fees, books, and supplies at the visiting college. Then the student must bring the registration form and receipt from the visiting college to the Financial Aid Office. The Financial Aid Director will then complete and send to the visiting college a consortium agreement identifying the "home" and "host" colleges. A consortium agreement must be signed by the Financial Aid Director/Financial Aid Officer at the visiting college to verify enrollment and increase the student's financial aid eligibility based on the total number of credit hours enrolled at both colleges.
