Consortium Agreements for Financial Aid:
Any students enrolled in UMC degree programs who are also taking approved courses from another college at the same time need to complete a Consortium Agreement in order to receive financial aid for classes at both institutions.
Click here to obtain a copy of the Agreement. Complete the student section and send it to the Financial Aid Office of the other college you are attending.
UMC must then receive and approve the Agreement to provide aid for the courses at the other college. If you are taking classes at more than one other college, you need a Consortium Agreement for each school. For example: If you are in a degree program at UMC and taking one class at Hennepin Technical College and another at Anoka Community College, you would need two separate Consortium Agreements.
NOTE: Simply listing UMC on your FAFSA is not going to provide financial aid for each colleges. If you have any questions please contact:
