So, if you are taking 12 credits, plan to spend 12 hours per week in class, and 36 additional hours per week completing homework. Just as credit hours tell you how big a college course is, the class level tells you how advanced the course is. A 100 level course is designed for first year students, a 200 level course for second year students, a 300 level course for third year students and a 400 level course for fourth year students. This is a general principle, and not a requirement. The basic cost of attending a particular course is called tuition.
Tuition is designated per credit hour.
Tuition does not include fees, books, housing, transportation, etc. Most colleges, including UAS, also charge specialized fees in addition to tuition. The college world can be confusing. The good news is that you are not on your own. A staff or faculty advisor has been appointed by the college to assist you in the selection of your courses and the establishment of your educational goals.
