Variable Credit Registration

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:

• Log into Banner Student

• Click the Four Square Icon at the top left of the page.

• Select Banner > Student Menu > Student Registration > 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 credits underlined when you hover over the credits.

• Click on the credit load.

• 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!
