Learn about your eligibility for financial aid if you take a course at another university while attending ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï.
During the course of your academic career at ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï, you may want to take a course(s) at another institution and transfer the course(s) back to your degree program at ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï. This can be accomplished through a Consortium Agreement and you may be eligible to receive financial aid.
A consortium agreement is an agreement between two colleges/universities to recognize your registration at each location for financial aid purposes. It also certifies only one of the two institutions can administer Title IV and State financial aid.
This Consortium Agreement refers to the two colleges/universities as the "Home Institution" and the "Host Institution:"
The Home InstitutionÌýis the school where the student is fully matriculated and from which he/she will earn a degree.
The Host InstitutionÌýis where the student temporarily takes courses, whose credits will be transferred back to his/her "Home Campus."
