Variable Credit Registration
- Sarah Kirschner
Some classes are set up as variable credits, which means students can choose how many credits they would like to take within a set range. Banner will always default to the lowest available credits for a course. Directions for changing variable credits can also be found on the Office of the Registrar’s wiki page for Registration Changes.
You can change the number of credits for a variable credit course only after initially registering for the default credit amount, which is always 1 credit.
To change the number of credits for such a course after initially registering:
Go to Banner.
Select the Student Menu.
Select the Registration and Class Planning Menu.
Select Class Registration and Planning.
Select Register for Classes.
Select the academic quarter for which you are registering and click Continue.
Choose the Schedule and Options tab at the top of the page.
This will bring up your registered courses. Under the “Credit Hours” column, courses with variable credit will have the credit number underlined when you hover over the credits.
Click on the credits
Enter the desired number of credits, then press enter.
Click Submit at the bottom right of the page to save your changes.
Return to your course summary to verify that your credit change saved to your registration!
