Unlock online college courses through Acadeum

Doane University offers online courses through Acadeum, a consortium of like-minded accredited colleges and universities that share online course offerings. Students can access a list of pre-approved online consortium courses through Acadeum. A course taken through this consortium is considered institutional credit, will be articulated on a Doane academic transcript and will impact student grade-point averages just like a Doane course.

Acadeum Course Advantage

The advantage to taking a course through Doane’s Acadeum Consortium, is that each course has been evaluated by the respective department, and you will be awarded institutional credit for taking the course. Unlike a transfer course, the grade earned in a course offered through Acadeum will be included on your Doane University transcript and included in your GPA calculations.  

  • Improve your academic GPA
  • Get ahead or stay on track for graduation

Steps to Enroll

Step 1: Degree-seeking students should schedule a meeting with their Academic Advisor to discuss possible course options through Acadeum. 

Step 2: Once a student has met with their advisor, they will need to visit Doane University’s Acadeum portal.  

Step 3: Create an account in Acadeum with Doane student email.  

Step 4 Verify Doane student email

Step 5: Review and register for the pre-approved Acadeum courses. Once registered through Acadeum, the enrollment information is shared with the Doane Registrar’s Office who will then add the course to the students Doane schedule. Acadeum course term dates may be different than Doane's, so please be mindful of course start and end dates.

Accessing Acadeum Courses

Students won’t be able to access the Acadeum consortium course through Doane's Canvas system; instead, they must log into the Doane University’s Acadeum portal. See Steps to Enroll above. 

  • Students will receive log-in credentials about a week before the course starts to their Doane student email. Check the SPAM folder.  Acadeum course term dates may be different than Doane's, so please be mindful of course start and end dates.
  • Once a student has access to the Acadeum course, read through the course assignments, policies, due dates, etc. in advance of the course starting to ensure timelines and requirements are understood.
  • The Acadeum course instructor is available to assist with any questions about the course.
  • If you need to drop the course, you must contact Doane’s registrar to do so.
