Do colleges make you pay per class for full time students after having paid tuition, or can you take as many as you want if you have the time?
I think it depends, but for the most part, I would say no. Usually, you can take as many classes as you can handle for the same price (as long as you’re still considered a full time student). However, I think I’ve heard of some colleges that charge more if you overload.
All this info can usually be found on schools’ websites if you want to find out about particular schools for sure.
I think most commonly, colleges have a range of credits that regular fulltime tuition covers, such as 12-18 credits, and after that you do pay extra (exact amount will vary from college to college).
There definitely is a lot of variation so if this is important to you, search each college’s website as @doctorgirl has suggested. Usually if you search for tuition there will be a chart showing the breakdown.
Depends on the college. Check each college’s web site.
It totally depends on the college. Some charge tuition by the credit hour (and there may be fees per course on top of that) and others charge a flat rate for all full-time students. Just like some restaurants are a la carte and others are prix fixe.
Completely depends on the college. Most have a credit range where it’s regular tuition price (12-18ish semester units) and then it’s per-unit if you’re less than that and part time, or if you take >18 units they might charge you per additional unit.
Google: maximum credits per semester
For example: at Rutgers," Full-time matriculated students typically register for 15 credits per semester. They may register for a maximum of 20.5 credits per semester and must register for a minimum of 12 credits to be considered full-time students under university regulations and federal law."
