The total for books is an estimate for the year. Please refer to the BSC Schedule of Classes for dates and guidelines on purchasing books. Unless otherwise specified, the total cost of books can be split between the two semesters.

Students purchase tools from an outside vendor, except for students enrolled in electronics/telecommunications technology. Instructors will give students tool lists and possible vendors the first week of class. First semester students may not have financial aid available to cover tools to be purchased from an outside vendor. (All institutional costs must be paid before a student receives any excess financial aid to cover outside vendor or other expenses.)
