Credentials are issued only to professional photographers or approved representatives working on assignment for Nebraska Wesleyan, the visiting institution or recognized media outlets. The University reserves the right to revoke credentials due to inappropriate sideline conduct.

Social Media Policy

Participation as a student-athlete at Nebraska Wesleyan University is a privilege. Student-athletes are viewed as representatives of their teams, the Athletics Department and the University. As such, they are expected to conduct themselves in a positive and responsible manner at all times, including on social media platforms such as X, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat and emerging digital platforms. While social media can be a powerful storytelling and branding tool, student-athletes should be mindful of the potential consequences associated with inappropriate or harmful content.
