THREE-WEEK

JANUARY SESSION

Taking a course during this session isn't required, but gives students the chance to catch up, get ahead, or take enrichment courses outside of their degree.

The course will be at an accelerated pace. Your student should contact the course instructor for more information on what that means for them.

Attendance and participation will be critical to your student's success as there are limited class meetings. Ensure they have time to commit to the entire three-week session, which begins January 2nd.

Your student's spring financial aid may be used for a January session. Find more information here.

Three-week session courses will fill up quickly or may be canceled due to low enrollment, so your student should enroll early. View available courses here.

PRESIDENTGOLD: HISFIRST100DAYS University of Nebraska system President Jeffrey P. Gold reflected in a letter to students, faculty, and staff on the opportunities for connection and discovery that the University of Nebraska community provides. Marking his 100th day in office, he expressed excitement about the university's potential to transition from excellent to extraordinary, with a focus on enhancing student success, partnerships, and overall impact across Nebraska and beyond.

In the past 100 days, President Gold noted significant progress, including the highest enrollment since 2021, particularly in key workforce areas such as agriculture and engineering. He highlighted record-breaking philanthropic contributions that indicate strong support from private partners, which will enable the university to broaden its reach and effectiveness.

Looking ahead, President Gold announced the initiation of a comprehensive strategic planning process aimed at defining what it means to be truly extraordinary. This plan will be informed by input from the entire university community and will address Nebraska's evolving needs.
