Financial Aid

Southern Oregon University and Rogue Community College Concurrent Enrollment

It is against federal law to accept financial aid from both institutions during the same academic term for any reason.

Southern Oregon University (SOU) and Rogue Community College (RCC) have signed a consortium agreement (academic partnership) beginning fall term 1997 under which students may concurrently enroll at both institutions and have their combined credit load serve as a basis for establishing financial aid eligibility. Under this agreement, student financial aid eligibility will be processed by the "home institution" (the college where the student has been officially admitted and where the student maintains at least half of his/her term-by-term credits) using shared information from the "host institution" (the college where the student is concurrently enrolled while attending his/her home institution). In order to be eligible for a deferment on prior educational loans, minimum enrollment (6 hrs) must be maintained at a single institution. Credits taken at the host institution may not contribute to this minimum.

Requirements for Concurrent Enrollment

  • The student must be fully admitted and pursuing a degree with the home institution.
  • The student must maintain at least half of the credit load each term at the home institution.
  • The student may only enroll in credits that lead to completion of the program declared as the student's major.
  • Classes under the 100 level (and math classes under the 60 level) do not count as enrolled hours for funding.
  • The student's academic progress on combined credits will be monitored on a term-by-term basis by the home institution.

A concurrent enrollment form must be completed and submitted to the home institution financial aid office at least two weeks prior to the beginning of each term in which the student wants to enroll concurrently.
