Actually. The units are used to determine what classes you take/can-take. For example. You need so many points in so and so, to be allowed to take so and so.
The price is just tacked on afterwards in an annoying "We don't care how useful this class actually is." method of finding the cost of a class. As an 8 point class that was technically useless would cost more than a 1 point class that is required. And vice versa, the 8 point would still cost more if it was required. because they just apply a flat value.
Prices are often stated for example as "24$ per unit, per hour" That one being really low for over here with 48+ being the most common. And considering this adds up to 100+$ per week for a ONE unit class using the 24$ value. Woooo.
You usually need like 52 units to graduate. And have to take 8 or more units to even go to the college in the first place. Yay 960$ per week...
You only officially gain one "unit" after you have taken it for an entire year and remained passing.
