FAQ
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.

In most courses, you will be required to take a proctored exam. In many cases, the exams will be proctored remotely. The proctoring process requires that you have a microphone and webcam, these can be built-in, or separate attachments.
You are required to show your ID and the room environment to the camera. This means moving the camera around showing the room, table, or desk area. Your test area should be clear of electronic devices, books, or other materials unless specifically allowed for the exam.
In case you are wondering… Yes, unfortunately, students have been flagged for cheating, resulting in failed exams and even academic expulsion.
