What kinds of Materials can I expect to Use?

Course materials may include textbooks, syllabi, audiotapes, videotapes, CDs, computer disks, CD-ROMs, maps, laboratory kits, computer software and other kinds of items depending on the specific course. These materials frequently change as the course content is updated. Textbooks particularly change edition often. If a student is considering using textbooks or materials obtained anywhere other than CDE, he or she should make sure that it is the exact item currently in use for the course. Some courses require specific software or computer disks. Please make sure to mark your platform choice (Windows or MAC) on the registration form.

A student residing in Fairbanks will come to CDE to purchase course textbooks and materials; others will receive them through the mail. Students registering in Independent Learning courses on a semester basis at UA branch campuses will have their textbooks and materials sent by mail.
