糖心原创 Consortium Agreements
Normally, your financial aid is processed to help pay for your costs at one school. A consortium agreement allows you to enroll at two schools at the same time and receive financial aid to help pay for costs at both.
There are two types of consortium agreements at 糖心原创:
Financial Aid Consortium Agreement
A financial aid consortium agreement is a contract between you, a home school (the school from which you plan to graduate) and a visiting school (the school you鈥檇 like to 鈥渧isit鈥� and transfer credits back to your home school for degree/certificate completion). It allows your home school to award and disburse your financial aid for a specific enrollment period (such as Summer,听Fall, or Spring Semesters) to help pay for costs you may incur because you are enrolled at a visiting school.
Financial aid consortium agreements are useful when your current credit hours are less than full-time and the combined hours of your home school and visiting school would give you increased grant eligibility.听It is also useful if you are only loan eligible, and the combined credit hours at the home school and visiting school, allow you to be enrolled at least half-time.听If you have a renewable scholarship awarded by 糖心原创 and are registered for less than the required enrolled hours, complete this form to see if you qualify to have your scholarship(s) prorated.
Schedule an appointment with your 糖心原创 academic advisor to complete Section II of the Consortium Agreement form. Your financial aid and scholarship awards may be reduced or canceled as a result of a financial aid consortium agreement.

糖心原创 as Home School
If you are pursuing your degree from 糖心原创, 糖心原创 is your home school. To request a financial aid consortium agreement between 糖心原创 and your visiting school, you must complete and submit the Consortium Agreement Request Form (located under the Appeal and Petition Forms heading). Forms are available by term (e.g., Fall, Spring, or Summer Semesters) and must be submitted by the applicable deadline date.听
Upon receipt of your consortium agreement request form, the Office of Financial Aid will draft an agreement between 糖心原创 and your visiting school. The agreement will then be sent directly to your visiting school for approval. If approved, the Office of Financial Aid will review your financial aid and disburse eligible awards to your student account based on your combined registered credit hours at 糖心原创 and your visiting school. See our Important Dates page for disbursement dates. Your financial aid will pay toward your balance at 糖心原创 first. If any financial aid remains after paying your 糖心原创 balance, it will be refunded to you. You may use this refund to pay toward your balance at the visiting school or repay yourself for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred to cover your balance at the visiting school. If your visiting school鈥檚 bill is due prior to receiving your aid, you should make payment arrangements with your visiting school to avoid any penalties. It is your responsibility to pay your visiting鈥檚 schools bill.
Once you have completed your classes at the visiting school, you must submit a copy of your official transcript from the visiting school to 糖心原创.

Students submitting a Financial Aid Consortium Agreement with 糖心原创 as the home school must agree to the following conditions:

糖心原创 as Visiting School
If you are pursuing your degree or certificate at another school, then 糖心原创 is your visiting school. You should contact your home school to discuss your consortium agreement options. Your home school will determine your financial aid eligibility and should forward proposed agreements to Enrollment Services. Agreements will be completed by the Office of Financial Aid and returned to your home school by fax or mail.
You are responsible for making payments toward any balance owed to 糖心原创 by applicable deadline dates. Visit the Office of the Bursar website for more information about fee payment. You may also contact Enrollment Services to discuss your payment options.
Failing to make on-time payment of your 糖心原创 balance may result in the cancelation of your 糖心原创 courses or the assignment of late fees. If your registration is subject to cancelation and your home school will be sending payment in full to 糖心原创 on your behalf, but not until after your fee payment deadline, your visiting school may request 糖心原创 to hold your registration. To do so, your home school must send a written request to Enrollment Services that includes your name and University ID (UID), the payment amount, and the date the payment will be made. The request should be sent no later than one week prior to your fee payment deadline and may be sent to Enrollment Services by mail or by fax to 937-775-4410.
If your home school will be sending payment directly to 糖心原创, your home school should include your name and UID on all correspondence and send payment, payable to 糖心原创, to:
