FAQs

What is a consortium agreement and when is it required?

Federal financial aid rules require coordination when a student is enrolled at more than one school at the same time. A written consortium agreement must be fully in place before the end of the enrollment period.

Who are the home school and host school in this agreement?

UGA is the student’s “home” school because it grants the degree. The other school is the “host school,” and it must be an approved Title IV school with a federal Title IV school code.

What happens if the host school transcript is not submitted within 10 days?

The form states that Satisfactory Academic Progress could be impacted if the transcript is not received or courses are not successfully completed, and Title IV funding may need to be returned if the final transcript is not received.
