What happens if I can't complete my undergrad degree "on time", as in within my first 4 years of college. Can I just take an extra (9th) semester of classes in order to graduate? Are there any consequences, besides paying some more money for the semester?

Most schools have a time limit to get your 4 year degree but its usually very liberal, like 8 to 10 years. A lot of people don't complete classes for their 4 year degree in 4 years
I believe it was in the movie, the "Maid" actress Ally Sheedy said she didn't go 6 years to junior college to become a maid

I don't think there's any consequence except like you said, paying more. I had several professors in college who said that is is almost impossible to finish college in four years anymore, due to the amount of classes required for almost any major. You would not be alone if you took an extra semester to finish...lots of people do a fifth year of college. Good luck!

It is very common to go beyond 4 years. I went to UC Davis, and I think the average was 4.5 years. I know people at SJSU in their 7th year. Consequences depend on the school. My alma mater had a unit cap of 225 units, which is 5 years of full time units. The cap could be waived, and the main purpose of it was to discourage people from spending forever at the school.
The best place to find out is in your course catalog, or talk to a counselor.

You just keep going (and paying) until you have enough credits to graduate.
Many people don't attend college on a traditional 4-year schedule -- some people work full time, and attend college in the evenings. It took me many years to get my degree, since I was working full-time, and raising my child as well.
If you're on a scholarship, you should expect to lose it. AND if you're parents have been paying for you to go, you might expect to lose some of that, too...

You are not alone. Many and probably most do not obtain a BA or BS within four years. There are no consequences other that your own concern, payment of fees and perhaps loss of income for taking more time.

The above record is powerful, yet i might upload "selflessness"to it. you will desire to be keen to allow your mate to be thierself except that's detrimental to the courting. Faithfulness is likewise paramount. Infidelity, in any kind, is detrimental.
