Enrolling in Courses

Good question. If you plan on earning a GenesisU degree, upon acceptance, you will be assigned an advisor to review your records and discuss which courses will meet your degree requirements.

If you are transferring college credits to GenesisU, you must ensure GenesisU has official copies of all your prior academic records. Once they are received and reviewed, an advisor will help you choose the necessary courses for degree completion.

You may also choose to start courses before an official review of your records is complete. However, you take the responsibility for taking any duplicate or unnecessary courses; it is your responsibility to ensure the courses you take will meet the degree requirements.

If you are taking GenesisU courses to transfer to another school’s degree program, it is your responsibility to make sure the GenesisU courses you are taking will meet the requirements of the receiving institution.

Payment for courses is due upon enrollment. An invoice is generated and will show up in your Populi dashboard. Timely payment is required.

You can generally enroll in two GenesisU courses at a time. With our rolling enrollment policy, when you complete a course and receive a grade, you can begin another. However, there may be limits on the number of courses taken per term.

Within a few hours of enrolling in a course, the course will be added to you LMS account. Courses are located in our virtual campus (Moodle LMS). You can find the link under the Students tab on the website. You will need your user ID and password to enter.
