Credit vs. Unit
A credit represents the number of hours a student spends in class each week for a for-credit course. For example, a 3-credit class will meet for about 3 hours weekly during the term. Students taking a course for credit are required to complete homework, assignments, and exams, as well as maintain regular attendance. Because credits count toward a transcript and graduation requirements, tuition for credit classes is higher than for audit units.
A unit is the equivalent measurement for an auditing student—someone enrolled in the class for personal growth and learning rather than earning credit. Auditing students still participate in class but are not required to turn in homework, take exams, or meet attendance requirements. Since no academic credit is awarded, unit tuition is less expensive than credit tuition.
In short:
-
Credits = homework, attendance required, counts toward graduation, higher tuition.
-
Units = no homework or exams, attendance optional, no credit given, lower tuition.
