College classroom

College students often take a college class without a specific degree in mind or to further their education for either career or personal interests. For instance, an individual out of work may decide to take a computer class to help her land an office job. Locating the cost of a college class entails determining the class you plan to take and locating the college's tuition fee, which is based on credit hours.

Instructions

Visit the college campus. Go to the admissions office.

Request a copy of the school's course catalog. It provides a list of the courses offered for the quarter or semester you plan to attend.

o 3
Pick a course from the catalog. Since the cost of tuition is based on the number of credit hours, picking the course first gives you the exact amount.

o 4
Ask the admissions' office personnel what the tuition cost is per credit hour. Also, request a list of the fees required, such as facility and building fees.

o 5
Multiply the number of hours the course covers by the per-hour tuition. For example, if tuition is $90 per credit hour and the class is a 3 hour credit course, the total tuition is $270 plus the fees.
