Financial Aid Consortium Agreement

A Financial Aid Consortium Agreement allows students to take courses at multiple participating colleges while maximizing their financial aid eligibility. 

To enter a consortium agreement, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Be enrolled in at least 6 units at your Home College.
  • Have a complete financial aid file.
  • Have an eligible SAP status.
  • Have an educational plan that shows the teaching college course satisfies your degree requirements. To schedule an appointment with a Shasta College Counselor, call (530) 242-7724 or schedule an appointment online.

Under this consortium agreement, you (the student) understand:

  • Transferable coursework taken at the teaching college will be used to establish my enrollment status at Shasta College.
  • You must be enrolled in at least 6 units at Shasta College during the corresponding semester.
  • Must be enrolled in a certificate, degree, or transfer program at Shasta College.
  • Teaching College courses must be required for your Shasta College major.
  • You are adopting Shasta College’s financial aid policies.
  • If your enrollment status at the teaching college changes, it is your responsibility to repay any financial aid overpayments that are incurred.
  • Official transcripts from the teaching college will be automatically issued to Shasta College.
  • All transferable courses that are eligible for consortium will be included on your Shasta College transcripts.
  • While cross enrolled at Shasta College and a teaching college, you may only receive financial aid at Shasta College. The California College Promise Grant is the sole exception to this rule.
  • Consortium Agreements are only approved for one semester at a time and will not be retroactively applied.
  • Failure to meet any part of this agreement may result in a repayment of financial aid.
