We are starting our membership in Acadeum by offering equivalents to several PEQ courses that are not available through Nazareth this summer. For each PEQ, the Department Chairperson at Nazareth has reviewed the course description, syllabus and other course materials and has verified that the course is equivalent to the identified PEQ at Nazareth.

If you are interested in taking a course through the Acadeum Consortium, review the list of available courses with your advisor to determine if one of the courses fits with your degree requirements. Then, login to the Acadeum Course Share Platform (you will need to create an account) to select the course and section you are interested in enrolling in. After completing the request process you will receive an email notification that your request is being reviewed.

Registration and Records will review your request taking into consideration eligibility (e.g., do you need the course, do you have any registration holds, has the prerequisite(s) been met) and will either approve or deny the request. To help with this process, you should enter in the comments section the reason for taking an Acadeum Course. After you submit an Acadeum Course request, Registration and Records will e-mail you either:

• Denied, which may require you to respond with additional information.
• Approved, which gives you information and the course fee that will be charged.

Nazareth (“The Home Institution”) will bill you for courses offered through Acadeum at the current per credit rate. Billing will follow all Nazareth pricing, billing procedures, and deadlines for the period in which the Acadeum course takes place. You are responsible for all learning material costs, including textbooks, as determined by the teaching institution.

In order to take a course in the January Term, students must be registered in at least 12 Nazareth credits for the spring semester (not including Acadeum course credits).  You will be charged the full time undergraduate rate for spring in addition to the cost of the Acadeum course which is based on the Nazareth per credit hour undergraduate rate. 

Liability for dropped courses will follow the Student Accounts' Policy on the Reduction of Charges however your charge cannot be less than the Acadeum course cost to Nazareth if you drop after the end of our add/drop period.

The add and drop dates are set by the teaching institution. You should review the syllabus closely for the assigned dates and any required course fees.If you decide not to take the course(s) you are registered for, you must contact Nazareth’s Registration and Record's Office, registrar@naz.edu, so they can process the drop or withdrawal through Acadeum.

You are initially registered for a placeholder course — ACDM*100 — for the appropriate number of credits. Once the teaching institution provides the grade at the end of the course (normally within 2 weeks of the course end date), the placeholder course is replaced with the Nazareth equivalency course and the grade is posted to your record.
