How many credits is an entire college year?

I'm looking at college credits and I'm getting a little confused on the payments.

Here is the website:

http://www.spsu.edu/tuitionfees/undergradtuition/

I'm in-state tuition. Assuming I take 12-credit hours to be a full-time student, would that be $2,749.28 a year or $2,749.28 a semester?

If that's a year then I'd have to pay $2,749.28 x 4 for the entire 4 years of college (at least tuition). Then I assume that the fees at the bottom would also be yearly so it'd be ($2,749.28 * 4) + ($698.00 * 4) + (Freshman dorm is $2,700 per semester) + (($595/2) * 36) for everything, correct?

If I'm right it should be about $25,110 not including books.

That can't be right can it? It has to be more expensive. If I had to pay tuition each semester wouldn't it just add another ~$3000? I'm so confused. Haha. Here are links if you can help any.

Tuition in fees (I'm in state)- http://www.spsu.edu/tuitionfees/undergradtuition/

Housing (going for double occupancy Hornet Village Suites for freshman year and 2bed/2bath University Commons Apartment for the rest)- http://www.spsu.edu/tuitionfees/housingfees/index....

Which does not seem right now that I think of it... That's pretty cheap isn't it?

    Thats per semester. Depending on your age and how much you make a year though, I would look to see if you can qualify for the pell grant. If you are over 18, don't have your parents claim you as a dependent in taxes, even if you live with them. I get 10,000 bucks a year from the pell grant. that covers all my tuition, books, and what ever else expenses.

    Usually a full year is 24 credits, but some poeple take more credits per semester and some people take summer classes so it is usually 12 per semester for two semesters.

    You have to take 12-credit hours a semester to be a full time student so that would be the price per semester not counting how many hours you would have to take during the summer.
