<p>I was planning on taking Math 21A, general chem, and intro to biology. I was thinking about taking 4, but I heard from someone that you need to pay extra to take more than 3 courses. Is this true?</p>
<p>This is not true at all. Most people take 4 classes per quarter, without any extra cost. The only time you have to pay based on the number of units you’re taking as a full-time student is during summer sessions.</p>
<p>There are two prices… those that take 12 or more units (called full time)… and those that take less (called part time). You pay accordingly… not by the unit.</p>
<p>What Venture said. However, cost aside taking Mat21a, chem2a, and bio2a with a ge your fall quarter of freshman year is really not recommended. Those math and science classes are going to consume you as is. </p>
<p>You should have a slightly lighter load fall quarter to meet new people and ease into it, just a suggestion.</p>
