Consortium Agreement

An agreement between colleges that enables students to enroll at two colleges simultaneously. In some instances, a student may receive financial aid based on total unit enrollment at both institutions.

Home College: The college in which you are seeking a degree

Teaching College: The college you are enrolling to fulfill a degree requirement that cannot be fulfilled at your home college.

Consortium Agreement Requirements

  • Be enrolled in at least 6 academic units at your home college.
  • Students must have a comprehensive educational plan that shows the course is required for degree fulfillment. To schedule an appointment with a counselor, please call (530) 242-7724 or schedule an appointment online.
  • Submit your transcript to Shasta College at the end of the semester. If transcript is not received within 4 weeks of course completion you will be required to pay back the grant(s) you received for the course(s).
