The consortium agreement is used to request an increase in your total enrollment at the University of Arizona by adding transferable units to another university or university. Depending on the nature of the financial assistance offered, you cannot use a consortium agreement. A consortium agreement is a contract between the student, the host institution and the University of Alabama. The agreement allows the University of Alabama to process federal student assistance while taking courses at another university. Federal regulations do not allow students to obtain federal grants from two schools at the same time. By entering into a consortium agreement, a student may attend the University of Arizona (UA) and another accredited school (called a “visiting institution”) during the same semester and obtain federal financial support for all combined units. This process benefits most federal Pell Grant recipients enrolled in less than 12 units at the AU. The consortium agreements allow ASU graduates to participate in financial assistance programs and participate simultaneously at the ASU and another accredited university. ASU reserves the right not to enter into a consortium agreement if, according to ASU Financial Aid and Scholarship Services, this consortium agreement was administratively unaffordable. Consortium agreements contribute to additional financial assistance, not loan deferral. Students who do not meet these conditions and who have a mitigating circumstance must submit a personal statement to the OSFA for examination. For the semester in question, you must at least register with the ASU (6 licence credits; 5 credits).
STUDENTS of ASU Nursing CEP with Arizona Community Colleges, University of Mary and Mayo Clinic must enrol in at least one ASU class. If you visit ASU Online through our partnerships with Starbucks, Uber or Aramark, we do not enter into a consortium agreement with the exception of CEP Care Students.
