Academic Information
Academic Calendar - Courses in IWU-National and Global programs are offered under the semester hour system but in a non-traditional academic calendar. Each program consists of specific courses that are taught in a modular format and taken sequentially. Online classes meet in an asynchronous environment through the university's learning management system. Certain programs require students to complete project team assignments. Practice experiences are an essential component of all School of Nursing programs and take place in the student’s community.
Catalog Governing Graduation - Students must meet the graduation requirements as stated in the university catalog under which they enrolled. Students who maintain continuous enrollment, who make normal progress toward a degree, and who earn their degree within a maximum of six years from the date of enrollment may meet the graduation requirements as stated in the catalog under which they enrolled. Students who withdraw from Indiana Wesleyan University for more than six months will meet the graduation requirements as stated in the catalog under which they resume enrollment. Students changing majors or programs must meet requirements as stated in the catalog that is current at the time they make such changes. The same holds true for students moving between schools and colleges. Students may at any time change from an earlier catalog to a subsequent current catalog, but must meet all requirements for graduation of that catalog. Indiana Wesleyan University reserves the right to modify the curriculum as necessary.
Core Requirements - The integrity of the IWU-National and Global programs requires that the core courses be met at Indiana Wesleyan University. Due to the nature of the programs, students can only be enrolled in one program at a time. Students are required to complete the first course of the core program with a passing grade in order to maintain enrollment. In general, no waivers are allowed for courses taken at other colleges/universities.
RNBSN Students may complete the core nursing courses by following the recommended fast-track schedule. It is not recommended that students take more than two core courses at a time. Students who wish to take more than two core courses should contact their academic advisor to determine the potential impact of such a decision.
