Make Sure To Plan Ahead!
Consortium agreements take several weeks to process. Make sure you complete all the sections on the form and submit it to the Student Financial Aid Office as early as possible.
Consortium Agreement
A consortium agreement is a written agreement between two eligible schools for the purpose of providing financial assistance to the student. Classes must be taken for credit towards the student's NIU degree. Financial Aid will not cover audit hours.
