<p>Hi. Can someone please explain to me how tuition works? Online, it says that an undergraduate student pays $12692 in tuition. If I take 2 units and a kid takes 19 units, do we pay the same amount? Or is it cost by individual class? Should I the not choose classes that are not part of my major since they are a waste of money? Thank you.</p>
<p>tuition is yearly (same regardless of units) so if you take 2 units then it’s your loss and waste of time.</p>
<p>if you are taking unnecessary classes that would prohibit you to graduate on time, then yes that is a waste of money.</p>
<p>summer school tuition is based off of units. fall/winter/spring quarters are not.</p>
<p>Most classes in the College have things called Instructional Enhancement Fees that are based on the number of units you take, but they’re around $7-8 per unit depending on which school you’re in.</p>
<p>Take as many units as you can handle, you’re already paying a small fortune for your education :p</p>
