Consortium Agreements for Graduate Students

If you are enrolled in a degree-seeking or eligible certificate program at UMass Boston, but will take courses at another accredited college or university, you may be able to receive aid to cover some of the costs at the other institution. You will need to complete a Consortium Agreement available on the Financial Aid Forms page or at the One Stop Student Administrative Services Center (Campus Center, UL). 

As a graduate student, you will need a completed Consortium Agreement along with a signed letter from your Graduate Program Director stating that the courses taken at the other institution will transfer back to UMass Boston and count as required credit toward your degree program.

Complete and submit all Consortium Agreements and supporting documentation to Financial Aid Services at least two weeks prior to the beginning of the coursework.  Late and/or incomplete Consortium Agreements will not be processed.
