Acadeum Summer Courses
Capital University provides online courses via Acadeum, a consortium of accredited higher education institutions sharing online offerings. Capital is a member of the CIC Online Course Sharing Consortium giving our students the opportunity to take college courses that are not offered at Capital through the Acadeum platform. Acadeum courses are taken during the summer term and provides students with opportunities to earn credit, accelerate progress toward graduation, or retake classes to improve your GPA. Acadeum course credits are posted to your Capital student transcript upon completion of the course and count toward your GPA. Tuition for Acadeum courses matches Capital’s discounted summer tuition rates.
