What Is Course Sharing?
Expand your academic offerings and improve degree completion by collaboratively offering courses across partner institutions, a consortium, or a state system.
As instructional costs rise and students’ demand for flexibility increases, it can feel impossible to expand
academic opportunities while staying within budget. Parchment Course Sharing is a flexible,
cost-effective, digital solution that enables you to collaboratively offer courses with partner institutions
that count for credit towards a student’s degree.
Eliminate students’ barriers to completing degree requirements by making it easy to find and register for transferable courses from partner institutions.
Incentivize students to remain at your institution by providing them with streamlined access to additional options beyond your institution’s offerings.
Create additional course inventory, maximize seat capacity, and control instructional costs by making courses available to learners at multiple institutions.
Automate student enrollment, registration, and course catalog updates using secure integration with your SIS and other IT infrastructure.

Cut processing times and streamline collaboration across institutions. Parchment Course Sharing securely integrates with multiple student information systems (SIS), payment processors, and single sign-on (SSO) authentication.
Create a catalog of shared courses across institutions, complete with course and section details, course equivalencies, support for prerequisites, and real-time seat counts. You remain in control of branding, display order, and can even provide public access to attract prospective students.
Plan future course inventory using historical and real-time search, enrollment, and completion data. Define course availability down to the section level, and optimize your collaboration for maximum impact and efficiency.
Give students an easy-to-use, fully digital experience that simplifies course search, provides equivalency information, and automates enrollment and registration, all from within one platform.
We prioritize the security of learner data and embed security controls and policies at every point in the Parchment ecosystem.
