this one looks kinda funny with alot of * marks on it, anyone care to elaborate?
A unit is sort of a sub-subject, at least in High School courses - I'm unsure if it has the same meaning in College.
So basically, at 3 units per class, if you complete that class it means you go through 3 units, and therefore pay the unit tuition 3 times...
I think?
Anyway, the *s and ^s indicate the footnotes below (sorry if this is stupid - you pointed out the *s so I'm unsure of whether or not you were unsure of what they meant - for all I know they could be something that isn't used a lot in other languages) which are basically saying the marked fees cannot be transferred if you have already paid for them and decide to switch to a different course before starting - you'd have to pay them again. The same is true if you decide to not go to college and redact your application, they keep that money if you've already paid it.
At least I'm pretty sure. Perhaps wait until someone who's actually been to college/university can tell you. Especially since I'm not even American and for all I know their colleges work very differently.
