What is the difference between “co enrollment,” “dual enrollment,” “co admission,” and “consortiums?”
Updated October 12, 2022
The term “co-admission” means that you have been admitted to more than one school in a particular term. For example, Portland Community College students are often co-admitted to both PCC and Portland State University.
The terms “co-enrollment” and “dual enrollment” mean that you are taking classes at more than one school in the same term. An example would be a student who is taking Math 111 at PCC and Bio-Chemistry 212 at Oregon State University.
The term “consortium” relates only to financial aid and is used to calculate financial aid eligibility. For example, if a student has a consortium agreement and they are taking six credits at PCC and six credits at Clackamas CC, they would be considered a full time student taking twelve credits.
