CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT

Information and Instructions

Students may receive financial aid at Northern Illinois University while concurrently enrolled at other institutions. Enrollment guidelines affecting specific programs are as follows:

• Federal Pell Grant: Awards based on full-time (12 or more), three-quarter time (9-11), half-time (6-8) or less than half-time (1-5) enrollment based on total hours enrolled.
• Illinois State Monetary Award Program (MAP): Awards based on full-time (12 or more), half-time (6-11) or less than half-time (3-5) enrollment based on total hours enrolled. Tuition and fees must be paid at the other school. NIU will bill ISAC for the MAP award based on tuition and fees from both schools. When NIU receives the MAP payment from ISAC, the appropriate funds will be forwarded to the other school, who will then refund the student.
• Federal SEOG and Federal Perkins Loan: Must be enrolled for at least 12 hours at NIU.
• Federal Family Education Loan Program (Stafford Loan and PLUS): Must be enrolled for at least 6 hours at NIU.

In order to process a request for concurrent enrollment, the following documents are required:

• A paid registration receipt from the other school itemizing classes and tuition paid.
• A form from NIU's Office of Registration and Records that the classes from the other school will transfer towards your degree at NIU.
