Enrollment at more than one institution

A consortium agreement is a written contract that enables students to pursue coursework at two institutions simultaneously. Under such an agreement, a student may receive financial aid based on total units of enrollment at both institutions. 

Federal law states that a student may not receive financial aid from two separate institutions at the same time. A student attending more than one college during the same semester should apply for financial aid at the school where he/she is enrolled in the greater number of units. Students in this situation may qualify for a “Consortium Agreement,” which allows the disbursing college to consider funding units of attendance at another institution. Students considering a "Consortium Agreement" need to be enrolled in 6 or more units at MJC.
