Virginia Wesleyan University works on a 4x4 system, which means students take four, four credit courses each fall and spring semester. Doing that for four years will garner enough credits to graduate on time. To graduate, you’ll also need to satisfy all of the Academic Requirements.
The Academic Advisors have worked with your Building Your Schedule Survey responses to build your Fall 2020 schedule. The links below provide answers to your questions about making sense of your schedule, what it all means, and how to go about asking to change it. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, contact an Academic Advisor at academicadvising@vwu.edu anytime.
