<p>How many units do students who want to graduate in 4 years take per year?</p>
<p>At my school about ~17-18 per quarter.</p>
<p>And is that 2 quarters a year?</p>
<p>3 quarters/year. 12 quarters to graduate.</p>
<p>That's odd the lady I talked to there said student usually take 36/year. 12 quarters times 18 units times $226 oos tuition is over $12k a year extra! wow</p>
<p>Typically 16-18 credits per semester. Here it's 135 credits to graduate, but at many it's 128. That's 8 semesters of full-time attendance.</p>
<p>consider that sometimes, full time students take a flat rate of tuition, so, say for example, 18 units might cost the same as 16 units (depending on the school)</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm on a flat rate.</p>
<p>ok I talked to some lady in the CS department today and she said a BS takes 346 units. that's $20k/yr oos plus the $17k/year cost of attendance. can't be right.</p>
<p>5.0 Mustang are you sure you pay per unit and for attendance? That doesn't sound right. 47k for tuition alone is crazy and no one would pay that much.</p>
<p>i actually meant to put this in the Cal Poly SLO forum. oops. maybe their units are different. But my calculations are still correct.</p>
<p>There must be some misunderstanding about the term "units." I know that at some schools, a unit corresponds to one hour of work for class. A typical 3 credit lecture class would actually be a 9 unit course (3 class hours, plus 6 study hours). 5.0 Mustang, you should look at their course catalog for the best information.</p>
<p>For in-staters Cal Poly SLO is a flat rate.</p>
<p>about 16 units/semester (4 classes per semester for lower division, 5 for upper)</p>
