Online Course Sharing

What is Course Sharing?

Course sharing lets students take courses at another school while still enrolled at their home college or university. Course sharing lets schools connect, share and expand their educational offerings. Course sharing can help your school earn revenue by reaching new students. It also improves the student experience, boosts administrative efficiency and supports academic excellence.

Here's how:

Expand Curricula

  • Introduce new degree programs
  • Offer summer and intersession courses
  • Provide access to specialized courses
  • Test out new courses

Retain Students

  • Improve degree completion rates
  • Enable easy course retakes
  • Support students in phased-out programs

Increase Revenue

  • Attract new enrollments
  • Retain tuition dollars
  • Optimize faculty workload distribution

For providers, course sharing can help fill empty seats and generate extra revenue through discounted enrollment fees.

For students, course sharing offers access to new courses and can reduce scheduling conflicts. It also saves the time and cost of transferring credits, while ensuring they progress toward completing their degree.
