<p>Is it the same cost if I take 3 classes vs. 4 classes (ie. $3000 fixed cost)? Or will each additional class add to the cost (ie. 3 classes = $3000 and 4 classes = $4000)?</p>
<p>maybe just book wise</p>
<p>There are fixed fees per semester, with both minimum and maximum numbers of units you can take - varies slightly by college but as an example, one must take between 13 and 20.5 units. </p>
<p>Each class has its number of units, based somewhat on the amount of work involved in that class. Many of the courses are 3 or 4 units, but they could be as low as .5 units, typically for PE, or 1 or 2 or . . . </p>
<p>No variable fees based on number of classes or number of units.</p>
<p>However, as fireprincess90 has said, each additional class may involve additional books that you must buy.</p>
<p>I think smileysoccergal is asking if there's a fixed fee per class you take, or an overall fee where you're allowed to take as many classes as you want.</p>
<p>overall fee, minus possible materials fee that depend on the classes. theres also a rising cost of books as you take more classes.</p>
<p>Take 3, 4, 6, 10 classes if you want -- as long as it's between the college's unit range (as L&S is 13 min to 20.5 max), you will pay the same amount.</p>
<p>If you get part-time status and take 12 units or fewer (which is VERY hard to do without a legitimate reason and significant preparation before the semester begins), it costs less based on some alternate formula, but for the average student:</p>
<p>You pay your fees, and you take as many or as few units you want (within 13-20.5 units if you're in L&S).</p>
<p>(Note that this excludes the cost of textbooks, class fees, etc. This is just for signing up for the class.)</p>
