Bring Back 18 Credit Hours and 0 Credit classes at NWU
Bring Back 18 Credit Hours and 0 Credit classes at NWU
The Issue
Nebraska Wesleyan University is lowering the maximum number of credit hours in a semester from 18 to 17. While this may not seem like a lot, many students take 18 or more credit hours every semester and would struggle to afford tuition or graduate on time. In addition to this, the majority of opportunities to take classes for 0 credit hour classes have been removed. This further restricts our opportunities to take the classes we as student need for our education.
We want to be able to complete our degrees in the way we have been planning since we were accepted and became Prairie Wolves.
