During the course of your academic career at Southern State Community College, you may want to take a course at another institution to transfer back to your degree program at SSCC. Or, you may want to take at course at SSCC and transfer it back to your degree program at another institution. You might be eligible for financial aid to help assist with the costs at both institutions. To do this, you must complete a consortium agreement with both schools.

A consortium agreement is a contract between two colleges or universities that recognizes your registration at each location for financial aid purposes. It also certifies that only one of the two institutions will award your financial aid.

In a consortium agreement, the colleges or universities are referred to as the "home institution" and the "host institution":

The home institution is the school that will award the student the degree.

The host institution is the school where the student is temporarily taking courses to transfer back to the home school to meet degree requirements.
