<p>How many class points (similar to "credit hours") does one need to be considered a full time student?</p>
<p>12, so three classes.</p>
<p>Wow, thats not very many, haha.
Do most students take 4 or 5?</p>
<p>After 18 credits, you pay an additional amount of money per point over 18. So most take 4.</p>
<p>So does is the tuition cheaper for students who only take 3 classes (cost per credit hour would be lower, I assume)?</p>
<p>12 to 18 points is considered full-time, and a flat rate tuition applies. You pay about $1200 per point over 18 points in one semester. If you take less than 12 points in a semester, you also pay on a per point basis. But you aren’t considered full-time (which impacts FA and loans).</p>
<p>Yeah, hitmenow is absolutely correct. </p>
<p>Part-time (below 12 credits) students also do not apply for Housing.</p>
<p>Okay, so I can take 3 or 4 classes and just pay the flat rate… and 5+ cost more?</p>
<p>yes, correct.</p>
