Channging 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*. Curriculum can be viewed at https://nextcatalog.unl.edu/courseadmin/.
