Online course offerings on the Acadeum network provide learning solutions for every type of student, no matter their specific needs or challenges.

In this section, learn more about:

 

Flexible Scheduling

Many online courses can be taken asynchronously, meaning that students can complete the lessons and coursework when their schedule allows (provided, of course, that assignment deadlines are still met). Acadeum also offers courses that range from 4 weeks to 8 weeks, so students can find a course that fits their schedule, on their terms.

This is especially helpful for:

  • Student-athletes

  • Students who work full-time or have multiple jobs

  • Students who have a nontraditional schedule

  • Students who have unique family, caretaking, or other obligations

Grade Replacement & GPA Improvement

Because courses taken through Acadeum show up on the student's official transcript, they can find an equivalent course to the one they want to replace, and upon completion of that course with a higher grade, replace their low grade with a better one.

This is especially helpful for:

  • Students who need to meet minimum GPA requirements

  • Students who need to avoid academic probation

  • Students who want to regain good academic standing

Meet Degree Requirements, In Sequence

Acadeum allows your school to offer courses that aren’t available on campus or are full, so students can complete prerequisite requirements when they need them, instead of waiting for the course they need to be offered during a later term.

This is especially helpful for:

  • Students who want to stay on track for an on-time graduation

  • Students who need to meet degree requirements in a popular major

  • Students who are struggling to find the course you need

  • Students who did not get into a required course after being placed on the waitlist and need to find a replacement course last minute

  • Students who need to withdraw from a course and want to immediately enroll in it again to stay on track

Get Ahead on Degree Progress

Acadeum allows your school to expand their course offerings, so students can take courses that count toward their degree over the Summer or Winter terms, even if they're not on campus.

This is especially helpful for:

  • Students who want to take additional courses over the summer or winter to ease fall or spring course loads

  • Students who want to take a course that’s not offered on campus in order to get ahead on degree progress

Stay on Track, Even Off-Campus

Online courses can be taken from anywhere — so even if the student is not on campus over the summer or winter, or if they have to leave for an unplanned event, they can still stay on track toward their degree.

This is especially helpful for:

  • International or non-local students who want to progress toward their degree even when they’re not on campus

  • Students who have to leave campus for a prolonged period but want to continue taking courses

Complete Early Walkers

If a student is allowed to walk at graduation when they’re within a few credits of earning their degree, they can enroll in an online course through Acadeum to fully satisfy their degree requirements.

This is especially helpful for:

  • Students who have already accepted a fulltime job offer after walking and want to take an online course that works around your schedule

  • Students who are moving away from campus after walking but still want to complete their degree

  • Students who have been out of school for an extended period but only need a few more credits to complete their degree
