Books and Materials
Students are expected to obtain their own books, supplies, and consumable materials needed in their studies. The cost varies according to the number of credit hours taken and courses the student is enrolled in. Students are urged to check exact book titles and authors required in each course before purchasing books. The College Bookstore has very specific guidelines about returning books for a refund. Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with these guidelines before making any purchases.
College Committees
The College has standing committees composed of members of the College community. These committees advise the Vice-President and/or the President on important matters. Student representatives are appointed to all standing committees with the exception of the Student Affairs Committee and Professional Development Committee. For information regarding College committee appointments, please contact the Dean of Student Services at 276.523.9107.
