Consortium Agreement Instructions
Although a student might enroll concurrently at two or more institutions, financial aid
can be received at just one institution during a given period of enrollment. It is possible,
meanwhile, to be a financial aid recipient at one institution, and have the credits being pursued
at another institution contribute toward enrollment status, and therefore toward the type(s)
and amount(s) of financial aid that are received.
How to complete the Consortium Agreement for Virginia Western Community College:
Please read these instructions thoroughly and complete the attached Consortium
Agreement form indicating exactly what courses you will be taking at VWCC and
your host institution for the stated term.
o The host institution is the school, not VWCC, where you will be taking
courses to satisfy VWCC program requirements.
o Please note that most host institutions require payment out of pocket and
do not hold courses. Please contact your host institution’s financial aid
office for specific information on how to handle payment for those
courses.
o Please make sure that your financial aid at VWCC is enough to cover the
tuition and fees due to VWCC. Sometimes even with combined
enrollment – the total aid is not enough to cover the balance due.
Submit completed Consortium Agreement form to VWCC Financial Aid Office to
be processed.
