2024-2023 FAFSA Verification Forms

Consortium Agreement Information A Consortium Agreement is a contract between two colleges/universities that recognizes your registration at each location for financial aid purposes. It also certifies only one of the two institutions can administer Title IV and state financial aid. Student who enroll in courses at other institutions (other than NDUS campuses) are required to complete the “Consortium Agreement". These credits are considered part of their term/semester load. Please note the “General Requirements and Notices” section explains the steps student will need to follow each semester.
