At census, all your variable credit courses (e.g., thesis, practicum, etc.) will be populated with students in the “VARIABLE CREDIT CLASS LIST” block in the SWASINS form and are ready for instructor entry.

Don’t worry if the “RI headcount” doesn’t match the “Actual Headcount”; the RI headcount is frozen at census, and the “actual” updates as students add or drop the course.

In addition, CSU employees and students who register for the course after census will not appear in the list because they are not considered “Resident Instruction” (which has nothing to do with residency). If an instructor who will be grading these students has already been added for another student, no changes are necessary since any instructor listed on the course can add a grade for any student.

Otherwise, add the instructor with an “Instructor Percent” of zero. This will allow the instructor to add a grade for a student who isn’t resident instruction without changing the overall instructor percentage for the students on the Variable Credit Class List.
