follow the steps outlined below. The fully executed Consortium Agreement, and all paperwork related to the processing of
financial aid, must be completed and on file at CCM at least 14 days prior to the enrollment period in which you plan to
study.
a) Obtain a brochure or written documentation outlining the (external) course/s you are interested in.
Complete a Request to Take Courses at Another Institution form, available at the Office of Records &
Registration (SCC-220). You must have the name and address of the Program Coordinator or other contact person at the
Host Institution. No program will be approved that is more than one year in length.

the appropriate signature. Once complete, it must be forwarded to the Director or Assistant Director of Financial
Aid at County College of Morris. It is very important that any financial aid application materials be submitted and
completed prior to this time.
c) After the Agreement is returned to the Financial Aid Office, a copy will be sent to the Office of Records & Registration.
Additionally, your financial aid eligibility will be reviewed based on the actual or anticipated costs of the consortium
course(s). Financial aid adjustments may be made, depending on changes in the number of credit enrolled for at the
visiting campus. The Financial Aid staff will continue to work with you to determine what aid, if any, is approved.
d) You (the student) should make payment arrangements with the Host Institution. If the Host Institution is willing to defer
any or all of the direct tuition cost based on expected financial aid, you should understand that no payments will be made
