Teaching Institution: Manage Courses via Bulk Upload [Add/Edit]

Only a designated Course Upload Administrator (CUA) can upload course information to ACS. Learn more about the CUA designation here.

1. Log into Acadeum Course Share using the CUA designated login information.
2. On the Courses page, click the +Upload Courses button on the top right.
3. On the Select Course Upload Method tab, choose Upload Course Details File.
4. Click Next to go proceed or Cancel to exit the Upload Courses process.
5. On the Add Course Details tab, your institution's name should be auto-populated in the required Institution field. If this field is empty, please select your Institution's name. Fields with the red asterisk * are required.
6. You can then do several things:
   • Download a blank Course Upload Template for copy/pasting course information. You can utilize a manually prepared file or a pre-filled file utilizing your Google Drive folder. Once prepared, this can be Drag & Dropped or selected via Browse a File.
   • Drag & Drop a prepared Course Upload file in Excel or CSV format.
   • Click the Browse a File button to select a prepared Course Upload Template from your computer
7. Once a prepared file has been Drag & Dropped or selected via Browse a File, an Upload Preview will appear.  This Upload Preview page lists the section in your file, in addition to that section's status if you proceed with the upload:
   • Created - If this course section has not been uploaded in the past
   • Updated - If this section has been previously uploaded but there are new changes
   • Error - If there is a formatting error or missing information that must be resolved prior to upload. This information will be shown in Red.
8. Once everything looks correct, click Next to go to the Advanced Settings tab or Cancel to exit the Upload Courses process.
9. For most uploads, you will not have any Advanced Settings to apply.  Simply click Upload to proceed to the Upload Preview page.
10. If you have Advanced Settings to apply, select them here. Please pay very careful attention to the following explanations for each options:
    • Closed Consortium - This setting limits the visibility of this Course (and all of its sections) to specific consortia.
    • Limited Institution Sharing - This setting limits the visibility of this course (and all of its sections) to specific institutions.
    • Differential Pricing - This setting allows you to set a specific price for the section you are uploading. This setting will only apply to the section you are adding--not to every section of the course you're adding. Note that consortial pricing is not managed here; special consortial prices are managed on the consortium's profile page.
11. Select Upload to complete your bulk upload, or click Back or Cancel as needed.
