There's probably a typo or an error somewhere along the line.

Cursus is a 4th declension masculine noun. Cursuum (with 2 u's) is a genitive plural - that would translate to 'of the courses'. Cursum (single u) is the accusative singular. That's what would be used as the direct object of a verb.

I suspect it's supposed to be 'Cursum Perficio', Which would translate to 'I finish the course.'

It means "i stay the course" roughly.
It's the clan moto of the Scottish clan Hunter.

    "I am doing a course" is one possibility.
    But it depends on the context. Cursus can meanrunning; speed/zeal; charge, onrush; forward movement/march; revolution (wheel),course/direction, line of advance, orbit; voyage/passage; race; career; series;

    It has to be cursum
    I thoroughly complete the course

    if it's cursuum that means I throughly complete _____ of courses, but there's no direct object then.
