Consortium Agreement
A consortium agreement will allow a student to use some of their federal student aid (Unsubsidized Direct Loan, and PLUS loans,) at another approved school or program. Federal regulations allow only one institution, the “home institution” to award federal financial aid. As the “home institution,” HUC can recommend these forms of aid when its student's study elsewhere and obtain permission in advance to transfer courses to the HUC degree program. HUC’s academic-progress standards do not change during the period of agreement. HUC will maintain all records related to the student’s aid. Awards are based on the actual cost of tuition and fees at the host institution and HUC’s cost of attendance for the appropriate program.
This form may be used for courses to be taken elsewhere, provided you have the form completed by the Consortium School/Program. As with most forms of aid, you must also file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Please do the following for consortium agreements:
- Contact the Financial Aid Office for the Consortium Agreement.
- Complete and sign Section A of the agreement.
- Obtain your faculty advisor’s signature granting permission to transfer the host institution’s credit as equivalent to HUC credit. Grades by the host institution will not be included in the student’s HUC GPA.
Obtain the host institution’s approval of Section B of the agreement and return it to the HUC-JIR Office of Financial Aid.
