Step 3: The host institution will complete their financial aid section and then send the form to the student and/or to consortium@uidaho.edu.
Step 4: Once received, U of I Student Financial Aid Services (SFAS) and Registrar will work together to determine eligibility based on cumulative credits.

University of Idaho/Washington State University Cooperative Course Program
Students receiving their financial aid in a degree program at U of I and enrolled in University of Idaho/Washington State University Cooperative Course Program may take approved classes at Washington State University (WSU) and count those credits toward their financial aid eligibility. No additional forms need to be completed as course information will be shared electronically between the two institutions.
The classes in the program make up less than 50% of any degree program at U of I. In most cases, students will just take 1 to 5 classes to supplement their degree requirements at U of I. Class will be held on one of the WSU campuses (most on the Pullman campus) and may be offered in a traditional classroom setting, online, or a combination of both.
U of I cost of attendance will be used for calculating financial aid eligibility. Students will pay U of I base tuition and fees. Special additional class fees may be charged to the student by WSU depending on the class. If a student files an appeal for a special circumstance those extra fees may be considered in the student's cost of attendance based on the professional judgment of the financial aid office.
