<p>I was looking at how much I will need to borrow for next year. I was wondering if the tuition listed was set for everybody, regardless of the number of credits , or whether that was for a certain number and had to pay for additional credits.</p>
<p>Nope, the tuition is set. There is a limit on how many credits you can register for per semester, but you can always apply for overloads, you just need to talk to your adviser.</p>
<p>how many is an overload? just out of curiousity</p>
<p>An overload is anything over 18. To give you an idea of what that means: A normal class that meets for 2.5 hours/wk is 3 credit hours, labs are usually 1-2 credits (usually meet 2-6 hours a week). Tutorials that usually meet once a week are given 0.5-1 credits. Research with a professor is usually given 1 credit for every 3 hours/wk. There are also several 1 credit service seminars offered over breaks. There are some classes that are offered that meet less and are only 1-2 credits. PE (required for all freshmen) and certain seminars (required for specific majors) are 0 credits.</p>
