Acadeum Consortial Courses

Section Menu

The College of Wooster now offers access to Acadeum Consortial Courses. This partnership allows students to take pre-approved online courses from other accredited institutions while still earning credit at our college.

Acadeum at The College of Wooster

Why Take an Acadeum Course?

Students may find Acadeum courses useful for:

  • Fulfilling degree requirements when a needed course is not offered int he current term.
  • Academic recovery for students needing to retake a course or make up missing course credits.
  • Taking prerequisites for an upcoming course.

Acadeum courses appear on your transcript and can be used to maintain full-time status.

How It Works

  1. Browse Courses: Students can access a list of pre-approved courses through the Acadeum portal. Information on the Wooster course equivalency is visible in the course details.
  2. Enroll: Students enroll for Acadeum courses within the portal. This will create a request in Wooster’s Registrar’s Office.
  3. Self-Service: After enrollment in the portal, courses will appear in your summer schedule and degree progress in Self-Service. Within Self-Service the course will appear according to its’ Wooster course equivalent, rather than the course title from the other institution.
  4. There is no need to apply separately to the teaching institution. Acadeum and The College of Wooster will process your full enrollment into the course at the other college or university.
  5. Complete Coursework: Students complete their course online through the teaching institution. This means that the course will not have a Wooster Moodle page or Teams site. Acadeum and the teaching institution will provide you with instructions for accessing the course.
  6. Add/Drop Dates: The add/drop dates are set by the teaching institution, not The College of Wooster. Students should review the syllabus closely for any information on drop deadlines and pay close attention to all communications from the teaching institution. Students should engage with their course in the first week of the class.
Financial Information
  • Tuition: Summer courses taken through Acadeum cost $1,800 per course.
  • Billing: All costs and bills will be processed by Wooster, not the teaching institution. You will be billed through your Wooster account.
  • Refund Schedule: All courses are non-refundable after the drop date.
  • Financial Aid: Summer consortial courses may be eligible for federal financial aid. Check with the Financial Aid Office.

Enrollment

Students interested in Acadeum courses should visit Wooster’s Acadeum Portal to view available courses and enroll.

For questions about enrollment, contact the Dean for Curriculum and Academic Engagement (jbowen@wooster.edu) or Summer Session Director (abrazeau@wooster.edu).

Important Note

The Acadeum Consortial program allows students to easily access and transfer courses from outside the College of Wooster. As such, course policies and practices will be set by the teaching institution, rather than the College of Wooster.
