The CCRI Financial Aid Consortium Agreement may be used by students receiving financial
aid who are enrolled in a degree-granting program at CCRI and want to enroll at another
institution at the same time. This also may apply for summer enrollment and/or Study
Abroad.
The Financial Aid office will only pay for courses that are required for the student's
current program of study.
Financial Aid can be received at only one institution per semester/term. To have a
student's financial aid applied for classes taken at another school, each semester
the student must complete a consortium agreement and proof of enrollment at the "host"
institution. The consortium agreement form must be returned to the CCRI Financial
Aid office.
Tuition payment arrangements must be made with the "host" school. Financial aid funds
paid by CCRI for consortium classes may not be available until four weeks after the
start of the Community College of Rhode Island's semester.
At the end of the semester/term, the student must request an academic transcript for
classes enrolled at the "host" school be sent to CCRI. These transcripts must be received
before additional financial aid can be applied or disbursed at CCRI.
CCRI Financial Aid Standards of Academic Progress (SAP) apply for classes enrolled at "host" schools through a consortium agreement.
Deadline: The consortium agreement must be completed and approved within 30 days from
the first day of classes for the current term at CCRI.
