CONSORTIUM FINANCIAL AID AGREEMENT

The Consortium Agreement represents an agreement between Old Dominion University's Office of Financial Aid and the community college's financial aid office. It enables Old Dominion University to verify what courses the student is enrolled in so that financial aid may be provided.

It also prevents the community college from processing any aid for the student. The community college's Cashier, Registrar, and financial aid officer must sign the form. It must be completed each semester students are receiving financial aid regardless of whether or not they are enrolled in the community college.

Distance learning students should ensure that the site director has the agreement signed by the community college personnel. Many community colleges will not sign these forms after their school's deadline date to drop or add a course.

Concurrent/Consortium Enrollment Form
This form must be completed for students dually enrolled at Old Dominion University and the community college. Students not dually enrolled need not complete this form. The required student signature indicates that the student understands that if financial aid is reduced, he or she is fully responsible for community college debts.

The site director must sign the form verifying that the courses taken are needed to meet Old Dominion University's degree requirements. The community college's Registrar must also sign the form indicating that the student is enrolled in the course(s) so indicated on the form.
