Cooperative Agreements Chargebacks

The College has arranged Cooperative Agreements with neighboring community colleges to provide opportunities for students to enroll in career programs not offered at SSC at the in-district tuition rate. Under the provisions of these Cooperative agreements, programs for study in districts other than those specified in these contractual agreements cannot be authorized.

Students seeking to enroll in career programs for study in-districts other than those specified under the provisions of these Cooperative Agreements, must contact the Dean of Student Development to have a Cooperative Agreement/Chargeback approved prior to enrolling in the program. The Cooperative Agreement/Chargeback will stipulate the approved programs or courses the student will be allowed to take at the in-district rate.

All requests for permission to attend another college under a Cooperative Agreement/Chargeback must be submitted at the deadline date or prior to the required registration date. No Cooperative Agreements/Chargebacks will be approved retroactively. The in-district rate of tuition shall apply only to coursework required for the program of study approved between the cooperating colleges.

Additional information about Cooperative Agreements/Chargebacks may be obtained from the office of the Dean of Student Development.

Residents of South Suburban College District #510 seeking authorization for a Cooperative Agreement/Chargeback to attend a program at another college must complete the following steps before their form will be issued.

  1. Complete the South Suburban College Admissions Application. For more information, please contact the Admissions Office at (708) 210-5718.

Schedule an appointment with a counselor by calling (708) 210-5724, if you believe you may be eligible for an exemption from testing based upon prior college degrees, credits or placement testing that can be verified by transcripts or student advising reports. Provide a copy of scores with Cooperative Agreement/Chargeback application.
  4. If the Placement test indicates the need for Developmental coursework, the required Developmental courses must be completed at South Suburban College prior to the application process.

  6. Maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 as measured at the end of the spring semester.
