Office of Financial Aid

Consortium Agreements

Federal regulations prohibit students from receiving some federal financial aid from two separate institutions at the same time.  Therefore, UHV has consortium agreements with several colleges so that students can get their financial aid from UHV for the hours they are taking at UHV and the consortium institutions.  UHV has consortiums with Austin Community College, The Victoria College, Wharton County Junior College, Coastal Bend College, and Houston Community College campuses.

Federal guidance prohibits UHV from offering financial aid for Virtual College of Texas (VCT) courses unless UHV has a signed consortium agreement with that institution.

Each semester a student co-enrolls, a Consortium Agreement form must be completed and submitted with a copy of the Paid Fee Receipt from the other college.
