In April 1998 the Board of Regents Policy Statement on Lifelong Learning was approved. This was followed in May of 1999 with the "University of Nebraska Extended Education Policy for Credit Course," which stated that:

"Extended education is part of the core mission of the University of Nebraska, and requires tangible resources for its development and delivery. It should thus be fully integrated in to the University's infrastructure so that extended education for credit courses can benefit from state-aided budget as do the regular on-campus courses."

Strategic Plans, policies and guidelines to help make distance education a core mission of the University have emerged at the campus level, within Central Administration and from the Board of Regents.
