Florida Memorial University offers select online courses to its students. FMU supports its students and their educational goals by being a member in the Acadeum (formerly CIC) College Consortium. This partnership serves FMU students who may need to repeat a course for grade forgiveness (raise their GPA), progress toward a four-year graduation plan, or qualify for athletic eligibility.
Acadeum is not an appropriate substitute for courses that are already offered and open at FMU. It is also intended only to complement an FMU enrollment term, not substitute for all classes in that term.
Acadeum consortial courses are transcribed on the student’s FMU transcript, and this practice makes it possible for:
Students may look up Acadeum courses and estimate course(s) they believe may be equivalent to an FMU course.
A student should complete an Acadeum Registration Request form and discuss with their CARS Advisor-Advocate or faculty advisor. The form should then electronically be sent to the department Chair (if applicable) and then the School’s Dean. The Dean’s office will then submit the course registration form to the Provost’s office for final approval. Once approved by the Provost’s office, the Registrar will be instructed to enroll the student in the course. The student will know they are registered in an Acadeum course when they log-in to Acadeum and via emails from Acadeum and the course’s instructor.
Accepted students will receive the required course materials from Acadeum. Students must contact the FMU Campus Bookstore to request the required course materials. E-mail 2144mgr@follett.com with the name, author and ISBN number of the required textbook.
The student pays FMU’s course fee rate for the Acadeum Course. This bill is required to be paid as part of financial aid and/or “clearing the Business Office”.
Accepted students will receive the required course materials from Acadeum. Students must contact the FMU Campus Bookstore to request the required course materials. E-mail 2144mgr@follett.com with the name, author and ISBN number of the required textbook.
Once a student signs the Acadeum registration form, he/she is agreeing to pay the course fee(s). The fee is non-refundable after the first day of class. It is the student’s responsibility to notify Acadeum immediately before the class starts if he/she has not heard from the instructor with course details. If the student needs to drop the course, he/she must contact the FMU Registrar prior to the Acadeum course’s posted drop deadline.
