Consortium Agreement

Students can receive financial aid from only one college at a time. However, a consortium agreement allows students to take courses at both PVCC and another accredited college (the host institution), with those courses counting toward financial aid eligibility at PVCC. To qualify, all courses taken at the host institution must apply to the student's degree or certificate program at PVCC. The courses must be approved as part of the program of study, and the consortium agreement must be signed by both college before financial aid can be processed. 

A consortium agreement must be completed for each semester and for each college the student is attending and submitted to PVCC. 

Important Note: Eligible funding will be sent to you as a refund NOT to the host institution. Therefore, you are responsible for payment arrangements to cover the costs of tuition, fees, books, and supplies at the host institution. 

Students:

• authorize the host institution to release enrollment information (courses) to PVCC to complete your consortium agreement request.
• must pay tuition, fees, books, and supplies for courses at the host institution at the time of registration.
• will submit an official transcript of courses completed at the host institution to the PVCC.
• submit a transcript evaluation request to PVCC Registrar's Office.
• if you are eligible for a financial aid refund, disbursement authorization will begin after the add/drop period has passed for all of your classes. This process begins no earlier than mid-semester.

• must be simultaneously enrolled in at least one financial aid eligible course at PVCC for the agreement to be valid.
