Changing Course Credit Weights
- Elysia Gallinaro
Overview:
This procedure provides steps for changing course credit weights
Course credit weights can be changed using the Class Associations panel group.
Use the Class Association panel to change the minimum and maximum units.
Course credit weights can ONLY be change by the Scheduling Office personnel if there are no students enrolled in the course for which the credit weights require changing. Enrollment totals must be verified first prior to changing any course credit weights.
Enrollment totals can be verified using the Schedule of Classes panel group.
Use the Enrollment Control panel to verify current enrollment totals.
