Consortium Agreement Information
A Consortium Agreement may allow eligible students to receive financial aid while attending Cerritos College (primary school) and another college (secondary school) at the same time. If a student is already registered in 12 or more credits at Cerritos College, there is no need to complete the process since the student is already receiving the maximum financial aid possible and adding credits would not increase the amount.
Eligibility Requirements
- Must be enrolled in certificate, degree, or transfer program at Cerritos College.
- Must have a completed financial aid file at Cerritos College and meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Standards.
- Must be enrolled in course(s) listed on the consortium agreement at the secondary school that apply to your degree program – if you are not enrolled, the agreement cannot be processed.
Important Information
- Must immediately inform Cerritos College and Secondary college of any change in enrollment
status, including withdrawing from courses.
- Submit consortium agreement after the Financial Aid Census Date for the semester. The Financial Aid Census Date is usually the 4th week of classes. Current verification of enrollment must be attached to the Consortium Agreement.
- Understand that the consortium agreement is only approved for one semester and not
approved retroactively.
- Ensure that the Secondary College provides Cerritos College with an official academic transcript within 14 days of the end of the semester/session. Notify us by e-mail finaid@cerritos.edu that the request was made.
