Purdue University Northwest (PNW) Consortium Agreement Policy
The Office of Financial Aid at PNW will process financial aid based on this Consortium Agreement for PNW students admitted in a non-degree
status at another institution provided the following conditions and responsibilities are agreed upon by both the HOST institution and the HOME

program (student must be degree seeking).
2. The student must be enrolled for at least 3 credit hours at PNW, have a cumulative GPA of 2.00 and not have a “hold” on any account.
3. The student must be meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements at the HOME institution.
