Consortium Agreements
Overview
At Cuesta College we have two types of Consortium Agreements. A standard agreement and an agreement through California Virtual College (CVC). Consortium agreements allow students to use enrollment at two different institutions towards their eligibility for Federal Pell Grants and other financial aid awards. The institution where their degree or certificate program is located is known as the home institution, and the school they are visiting and taking a class or two towards that program is known as the host institution.
Enrollment Requirements
Students must be enrolled in at least 6 degree-applicable units at Cuesta College. If you are taking less than 6 degree-applicable units at Cuesta College, please contact the other school you are attending for their policy on consortium agreements.
