Class 3 Felony

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? AL
What exactly does a class 3 felony mean?

(a) A person commits the crime of burglary in the third degree if he knowingly enters or remains unlawfully in a building with intent to commit a crime therein.

(b) Burglary in the third degree is a Class C felony.

It's the least severe charge of burglary (but still nothing to be sneezed at). It means she wasn't armed or otherwise threatening to a person in the house she was breaking into.

A class C felony is good for 1 - 10 years in prison.
