Course Materials Fee

Students will be charged fees in some courses for use, rental, or consumption of materials or services necessary to provide a special supplemental educational experience. For example, course materials fees may cover the purchase of chemicals and glassware for a science laboratory or art supplies for an art studio class. They might also cover film rentals, field trips, or the purchase or rental of specific equipment. Courses that have a course materials fee are noted in the Schedule of Classes.

No student will be prevented from taking a course due to inability to afford a course materials fee. Financial aid recipients who are Pell Grant eligible will be automatically exempted from paying the fee. Other students who cannot afford the fee should seek a waiver from the department offering the course before the 20th day of instruction—Oct 22.
