For students admitted to the OSU/Oregon Coast Community College Degree Partnership Program, the home school and financial aid will be handled through the OSU/Chemeketa Degree Partnership Program system.
Students admitted to the OSU/Chemeketa Degree Partnership Program who choose to take courses at both schools in the same term may be eligible to receive financial aid based on the combined enrollment. Degree partnership program students are asked to declare a home school. The designated home school determines whether Chemeketa or OSU willdisburse your financial aid.

There are several factors related to the choice of the OSU/Chemeketa home school:

• Students in the OSU/Chemeketa Degree Partnership Program use different enrollment patterns for different terms:
o All classes are at Chemeketa
o All classes are at OSU
o Some classes are at Chemeketa and some at OSU in the same term

• The primary factor in determining the home school for the OSU/Chemeketa Degree Partnership Program is the number of courses the student is taking at each school. Students have to be enrolled in at least one course at the home school. For example, Chemeketa cannot disburse financial aid for a student who is not taking any classes at Chemeketa.

• The level of courses you take is also a consideration. Chemeketa cannot count 300 or 400 level courses toward the enrollment needed to disburse financial aid. At the point you begin taking 300 & 400 level courses, you will need to choose OSU as your home school during that term and for any subsequent terms.

• The transferability of Chemeketa/Oregon Coast courses you take is a consideration if you receive your aid from OSU. OSU cannot count courses that do not transfer into OSU toward the enrollment needed to disburse financial aid.

•For example, a student is enrolled in 6 credits at Chemeketa and 6 credits at OSU, and has designated OSU as home school. If the 6 credits at Chemeketa consist of Math 112 and WR 121, then OSU can count those 6 credits along with the 6 credits being taken at OSU to make the student full-time. If, however, the courses at Chemeketa are Math 112 and Drafting 140, OSU can only count the math class since the drafting course does not transfer into OSU. In this second example, OSU would consider that the student is enrolled for 9 credits for financial aid purposes. (Chemeketa may consider the same student to be enrolled full-time for the term).
