<p>Like, one student is taking 12 units this semester and another student is taking 18 units. Will their tuition for the semester cost the same or what? </p>
<p>I'm not sure but it looks like there are unit fees. But won't that be so messed up when we add and drop classes during the semester? Like if I already paid my fees and then dropped a class after, wouldn't that be a waste of money?</p>
<p>Yeah, I would like to know this too...i tried to look up online but couldn't find anything! So please let us know if anyone knows.</p>
<p>thanks in advacne</p>
<p>As long as you are taking at least 12 units (full-time status), you will pay the same amount for tuition.</p>
<p>what evilest^ said</p>
<p>why is my cal grant still unconfirmed ... its taking too long !!</p>
<p>UCSB is on a quarter system, btw.</p>
<p>^I know that though. I don't know why I wrote semester instead of quarter lol. I just keep confusing these 2 words because the fall quarter is about the same as the fall semester O_O (starts in august/september and ends in december)</p>
<p>If you are taking 12 units or more, you will pay full tuition. If you take less than 12 units, you can apply for a fee cut. To get a lesser fee, you have to meet certain criteria: work more than 36 (I think?) hours a week, or taking care of a relative, and there might be a couple others. If you're interested, you can call the advising office and ask what the exact criteria is.</p>
