Welcome students in the PCC/CUA concurrent programs!
Concurrent Enrollment and Federal Student Aid
In order for PCC to calculate federal student aid for both CUA and PCC courses taken in the same semester, you must have a completed Consortium Agreement form in order to verify that all courses are applicable to your program of study as well as collecting the pertinent Cost of Attendance data.
Click on the link below, and complete your section of the Consortium Agreement form, sign it, and send it to the financial aid office at CUA to complete their section of the form. After CUA has returned your Consortium Agreement form to you, send your Consortium Agreement form to the financial aid office at PCC.
To send your Consortium Agreement to the financial aid office at Pima, upload the completed form through the Financial Aid Document Upload portal located at MyPima > Students > Financial Aid > Financial Aid and scroll down to the Financial Aid Document Portal.
PCC Consortium Form
Consortium Agreement Policy
Pima Community College Consortium Agreement policy states that OFAS will only consider approving a Consortium Agreement under the following conditions:
- Student is enrolled in the Catholic University of America (CUA)/Pima Community College (PCC) partnership programs.
- A completed Consortium Agreement is submitted to the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships by the deadline listed on the form.
- Data listed on the consortium form must be verified by your PCC Academic Advisor.
- CUA class(es) requested under consortium are not offered at PCC.
- Approved CUA courses will be added to your PCC record. If you drop any of these courses, PCC must be notified immediately.
- You are responsible for paying CUA for the classes for which you are enrolled in.
- PCC will calculate your eligibility for federal student aid based on the combined number credit hours registered at both schools. Federal student aid cannot be received from CUA.
- Notify OFAS of any changes in enrollment at either institution. In the event of withdrawal from any or all classes, you may be responsible for repayment of federal student aid received.
- Pell, SEOG and LEAP Grant awards are directly linked to your financial need and attendance level. If you drop a class on or before the first day, or if you never attend a class, you may be required to repay all or part of your grant.
- Students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) as outlined by the PCC policy.
The Pima Community College Registrar's Office (PCCRO) will assist in facilitating "reverse transfer" for our joint students by articulating CUA coursework onto the student's Pima academic record at the end of each semester of enrollment. CUA will be responsible for sending official transcripts to the Registrar's Office, clearly labeled as CUA program students, at the end of each semester of the student's enrollment. PCCRO will award the student an Associate of General Studies degree once program requirements have been met. PCCRO will also report enrollment as half-time or greater for each student, being that the student will be at least half-time enrolled in PCC classes for every semester, given the student remains enrolled and completes the coursework as outlined in the partnership.
Credit from the visiting institution transfer; the grades you earned for those credits do not transfer.
Your financial aid may be delayed for future terms until PCCRO receives official transcripts for any approved consortium agreement classes taken.
