California State University, San Bernardino is on the "quarter system" and all of the ECTS courses are 4 (four) credit units per course. There is no difference in cost between courses offered on campus and distance learning courses.
When making cost comparisons, distance learners should consider the money and the time they will save by not ever having to drive to any course locations at any time! :^)
Fees for registration must be paid before the beginning of each quarter. Several factors may influence cost. Each of those factors is addressed below.
