Consortium Agreement
A Consortium Agreement is an arrangement between two institutions for the financial benefit of a student who will be concurrently
enrolled at both institutions. Eastern Wyoming College (EWC) is willing and interested in participating in consortium agreements with
a student where the collaboration helps meet a student’s educational goals. The agreement allows a student to receive financial aid from
EWC as the home institution (HOME) for all eligible courses for which the student is enrolled, including those from a host institution
(HOST). It is the student’s responsibility to complete the agreement properly and ensure that all of the necessary steps are taken so that
funding may be delivered and academic credit granted for the courses completed. ALL fields are required. If a section is left blank
the form will be returned to you and marked as incomplete.
Important Points:
Federal Aid Applicants/Recipients: You MUST be eligible for Title IV Federal Financial Aid and your financial aid process
must be complete before you will receive funds.
Scholarship Recipients: Institutional funds and scholarships may or may not be eligible for the consortium process.
You MUST be enrolled for a minimum of one class at EWC as HOME for this Agreement to be valid.
You MUST meet and maintain EWC’s Satisfactory Academic Progress Policies for Financial Aid with the combination of
HOME and HOST grades and completion requirements.
You MUST complete a new Consortium Agreement each semester of enrollment at a HOST school.
You MUST be a degree- or certificate-seeking student at EWC to use this Agreement. Courses listed on this agreement MUST
be required by your EWC program of study.
(If EWC is your HOST, contact your HOME institution for their consortium form and requirements.)
Students who have lost financial aid eligibility may enroll with a HOST institution (depending on HOST requirements), but
cannot receive aid until aid eligibility is regained.
You MUST request an official transcript be sent to the EWC Registrar from your HOST.
You are responsible for all costs to the HOST. EWC cannot pay them on your behalf.
