Changing Credit Hours (Variable Credit)

Courses with variable credit can be edited through the section editor window in CLSS, as long as it is not during a limited changes phase for the term.

Variable Credits are listed as a range automatically, as shown below, based off the approved curriculum. *Please note that new changes in curriculum are not instantly loaded into CLSS.* Curriculum can be viewed at https://nextcatalog.unl.edu/courseadmin/.

Going from variable to fixed credit:

To change to a fixed credit, rather than variable, choose a number from the range and place it in both boxes.

Going from fixed credit to variable credit range:

To change credit hours to have a range, simply put a dash after the lowest desired credit limit to the highest desired limit. Note that it must be the range approved through curriculum.*
