credit refers to the number of hours per week you spend in class. Different programs require different amounts of credit received in order to graduate.
Generally speaking, you pay for the course when you register to take it. You graduate when you've completed all of the required courses and have paid all your debt to the college.
Financial aid programs are available at most community/technical colleges.

No. Usually you have to pay, then go to school, then graduate. However, if you get financial aid in the form of loans, you sign for the loan, which then pays. Then, after you graduate, you have to pay back the loan (not the college).
As far as credits go, each class is worth a certain number of credits, also called units. They correspond to the number of hours you spend in class per week, usually. Usually, a normal class is 3 or 4 credits, while something which meets less often, like a yoga class or music lesson, may be one or two credits. If you were going for a degree, you would have to have a certain number of credits to graduate. If you are just trying to take a few classes, the only way it affects you is that many colleges price by the credit, so you would pay for the number of credits you signed up for.

you can't even attend classes at a technical college without paying first.
credits are just "credit' that you get with certain classes and a specific program that you are in might require a certain number of credits if you are looking to get a technical degreee (like a degree in welding for example)
