Just a side note –> there are many colleges that do NOT charge extra for enrollment over a certain limit – my daughter’s college did not have any such charges. (My d. did not enroll beyond the limit in any case - but my point is simply that some colleges do not impose such charges.) This is probably one of those things that parents should consider at the time a college choice is made – because of the impact that such charges can have on the overall cost of college. There are circumstances when a student might HAVE to take extra units – for example, if a student needs to repeat a course that they did not pass the first time around, or changes majors and needs to get in extra coursework in order to graduate on time. Need-based financial aid will probably not cover the extra cost – so the college’s policies as to course fees really ought to be well understood by the parents and the student from the outset.
