Co-Enrollment

State and Community College Co-Enrollment Policies and Form

 

Complete the State and Community College Co-Enrollment Form

Students must meet/abide by the following requirements to be eligible for financial aid for co-enrolled hours:

• The student must be eligible for federal student aid.
  Eligibility is determined once UNK has received the current year FAFSA, the verification process, if applicable, is completed, and the student is meeting UNK Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements.
  

• The student must obtain their UNK Academic Advisor's approval.
  Students are required to meet with their UNK Academic Advisor prior to submitting the co-enrollment form. Their UNK Academic Advisor will submit confirmation that they advised and approved the student to take classes at another institution. 
  

• The student must identify who the host institution is on their co-enrollment form.
  Students are required to be enrolled at the host institution prior to submitting the co-enrollment form. Once the form is submitted the host institution's Financial Aid Office will confirm the student's enrollment, enrollment period, tuition/fee charges, and any aid that the student may be receiving with them.
  

• The student is responsible for payment at their host institution.
  UNK will credit your accepted financial aid to your UNK billing account. If there are funds remaining after the UNK bill is paid, a refund will be ordered. You should use this refund toward paying your bill at the host institution.

• The student must notify UNK if they drop a class at the host institution during that school's "free drop" period.
  If a class is dropped during the host institution's "free drop" period, the student must notify the Office of Financial Aid. A student is not entitled to aid for a class not taken. Aid must be adjusted, which may mean funds will need to be paid back to UNK.
  

• UNK enrollment will be based upon the level of enrollment during the last day (Friday) of Drop & Add Week.
  During the fall and spring semesters, whatever number of UNK credit hours a student is enrolled in on the last day of Drop & Add Week (Friday) will determine the number of UNK credit hours used in deciding the student's combined level of enrolled credits (i.e., adding a class to a student's course schedule at UNK after the last day of Drop & Add Week will not impact their financial aid award or their co-enrollment, as the this date is past the deadline for co-enrollment forms to be submitted).
  For summer semester, UNK enrollment will be reviewed on a rolling basis due to the various summer sessions.
  

• The host institution is required to provide UNK with data concerning the student's progress and must have an agreement with UNK.
  Schools that have a consortium agreement with UNK are listed on the co-enrollment form. The host institution must provide UNK with student grades each semester. The host institution is also required to notify UNK if the student withdraws from a class.
  

• UNK equivalent hours will be used in figuring the number of hours a student is enrolled.
  If the class at the host institution transfers to UNK for a class worth different credit hours at UNK, it is the UNK credits which will be used to figure enrollment status. View transfer credit equivalencies.
  

• Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) will be based on UNK classes and the host institution classes.
  At the end of each semester, grades will be requested for the purpose of figuring the student's Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) status. When calculating SAP, UNK will use the grades and the completion rate from each school to figure the student's SAP status. View more information on SAP.

• The UNK budget is adjusted to include the host institution's tuition and fees.
  Tuition and fees will be adjusted to reflect the budgeted amount for the UNK hours plus the budgeted tuition and fees for the host institution.

• Students will receive a notification in their LoperMail regarding the processing of the co-enrollment form.
  A revised award notice will be sent stating that co-enrollment has been taken into consideration when determining the student's award. If UNK is unable to award the student, an e-mail will be sent alerting the student to the situation.
