Electronic resources, software and applications will be introduced in the first few days of the term and will be in use during classes almost immediately.
Students do not have to buy from a specific vendor or manufacturer; they are free to find the best device that meets or exceeds the minimum specifications for their program.
Please note that any anticipated costs are not included in Books and Supplies estimates.
