Consortium Agreements
Students who wish to have their financial aid processed under a consortium agreement with another institution must notify HCC in advance of the respective term. A written agreement is required between HCC and the other institution. HCC serves as the “host” institution in these situations, meaning that the student must be enrolled in an eligible certificate or degree program at the other college. Financial aid must be processed through that institution. Students who are interested in participating in the Mt. Airy consortium arrangement should contact both HCC and the other institution well in advance of the planned semester. HCC will cancel all aid for any students who are found to be receiving financial aid concurrently at HCC and another institution, unless an approved consortium agreement is on file.
