Home Institution: Finding Courses

As a Home Institution, the first step in enrolling a student in a course is identifying and finding the course on Acadeum Course Share. 

All available courses and sections from all Teaching Institutions (TIs) are listed on the Find Courses page of Acadeum Course Share. You can find a course by searching or filtering:

A.      Search Box

Search for courses using a course code, title, key words and/or descriptors. This will provide a list of courses where the key word is found in the course title and/or course description.

Course search results can be viewed by Sections or Courses list. Courses listed may have more than one section available.

• Sections– lists all courses and corresponding sections available for each separately.
  (Ex: MATH110 may have sections available in a Fall and Winter term and will list twice in the Sections)
• Courses– lists courses available only; click  in a course card to view available course sections and terms. Results may include courses where sections are not available. (Ex: MATH110 may have sections available in a Fall and Winter term but will list only once in the Courses ) [Learn more about requesting a section when one is not available.]

B.      Filter Results

Filter to view courses based on selected criteria. Using the filter options in the middle navigation pane, search for courses using one or more sets of criteria. Results may list courses that have multiple terms from which to select a course. [Read more about this feature here.]
