Google Drive Folder Access & Use

Each Teaching Institution is provided a Google Drive folder to assist with managing your courses on Acadeum Course Share (ACS).

Teaching Institutions are not required to utilize this Google Drive folder, but access is automatically provided to all designated Course Upload Administrator (CUA) upon completion of the Acadeum's CUA certification process. Learn more about the CUA designation here.

Please watch this video prior to utilizing the Google Drive folder:

Google Drive Internal Folders

Within your institution's main Google Drive folder is one internal folder for Syllabus files and four Google Sheet spreadsheets. 

These spreadsheets merge previously uploaded course information with new course information into a "Prefilled" Course Upload Template for easy uploading by your institution's designated CUA(s).

Most of the files are View Only. Spreadsheets gather and collate information pulled from ACS and other sources. View only files can be downloaded if desired.

Syllabus List Folder

This folder holds any syllabus files that have been added to the Google Sheets folder. Learn more about Syllabus Management here.

Course Upload Spreadsheets

• Active Course Data - View Only - List of currently available course information on ACS
• New Term and Session Creator - Editable - This page is for creating new sections for courses which have previously been hosted on ACS. Simply add the relevant dates.

• Prefilled Template - View Only. Information from the two spreadsheets above feed into this spreadsheet. This course information can be downloaded or copied/pasted into a blank Course Upload Template. When doing this, be sure to choose "Paste Special" as "Values Only".

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the link to my Google Drive folder?

Please contact Courses@Acadeum.com to request a link to your institution’s Google Drive folder.

Does my institution have to utilize the provided Google Drive folder?

No, use of the Google Drive folder is not required, but access will be provided to designated CUAs.

My institution previously used a DropBox folder provided by Acadeum to store and share our master syllabi. May we still utilize this DropBox folder?

No, Acadeum is moving away from utilizing DropBox. Please utilize the provided Google Drive folder.

My institution does not use Google. Will I need to link to a personal Google account?

No, you will not need to utilize a personal Google account. The provided folders can be accessed by non-Google accounts. To provide access, we will send a share link to your institutional email. You can click the link from within the email message, then Google will send you a validation request to gain access to the folder.

If you have received the validation request but you still cannot access the Google Drive folder for any reason, please contact Courses@Acadeum.com for next steps.
