Your instructor will setup an AWS account for you. Once the account is setup, you will receive an email from AWS and be provided with $100 credit to complete all labs and assignments for this course. These credits are more than enough and is your responsibility to manage this. This limit cannot be increased by AWS or your instructor. Credits will get used much faster if you are careless with how you use the cloud-based AWS instances.
