How to Figure Out How Much One College Class Costs

In Person

• 1

  Visit the college campus. Go to the admissions office.

• 2

  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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
