A Concurrent enrolled student is one who is degree seeking and taking classes at FAU (Home School) AND another eligible institution (Host School) in the same semester. Financial aid will be disbursed from FAU based on the student's total combined enrollment (FAU + Host School) for the semester.
 
An Outgoing Consortium enrolled student is one who is degree seeking at FAU (Home School) BUT is ONLY taking classes at another institution (Host School) AND would like to receive their scheduled FAU Financial Aid Award(s). FAU ENROLLMENT STATUS MUST BE ZERO CREDIT HOURS.
 
An Incoming Consortium enrolled student is one who is NOT degree seeking at FAU (Host School). Therefore, financial aid status and information must be addressed to your degree seeking institution (Home School).
