Acadeum College Consortium

How the Process Works

Course Selection and Account Creation

Students interested in taking courses through the Acadeum Course Share should review the list of available courses on the Acadeum website. The website will prompt students to create an account, which can then be used to view available courses and manage registration requests.

Academic Advising

Before submitting a request, students must go over the course list with their faculty advisor to ensure that the desired courses will count towards their current program requirements. The requested Consortium course must be equivalent to an existing, active York College course to be considered.

Submission and Evaluation

Once a student submits a registration request via the Acadeum website, it undergoes a formal evaluation process at York College:

• Academic Review: The request is first evaluated by the Department Chair or the Dean to ensure it is equivalent to an active York College course.
• Vetting: The request is then vetted by the Department Chair, Director for Graduate and Professional Programs, the Director of General Education, or the Dean of their school.
• Final Approval: Final approval is granted by the Registrar’s Office.

Notification and Enrollment

After submitting a registration request, eligible students will be notified of their approval status and will receive an email from York College detailing the next steps. The request for enrollment is then sent to the teaching institution for their acceptance. Once the student receives approval from both institutions, the teaching institution will provide further information on accessing the course and obtaining any required books and materials.

Ineligible students will be informed of their denial, along with information pertaining to why they were not able to register for the specified course. The student may be asked to respond with additional information to clarify their request.

Student Responsibilities

While enrolled in a course through Acadeum, it is the responsibility of the student to be aware of the start and end dates of the course. These dates may not coincide with the academic calendar at York College. The course may start earlier than or outside of the term in which it ends, but the end date determines when bills and grades will be posted.

Students must also be aware of the deadline to drop a course once registered. Courses dropped before the teaching institution’s deadline may be eligible for a refund if applicable, while courses dropped after the teaching institution's deadline will not be eligible for a refund.

Grades and Transcripts

The grades students earn for CIC Consortium courses will appear on their York College transcript as York College grades in the semester when the course ends. These courses are included in the total for the final credits residency requirement.
