Helpful tips for planning your approach to buying materials for your course(s)
Start with what you need for the first class
- Bring a notebook and pen for taking notes.
- Focus on acquiring the items on your course list that are required for the first day of class. They are marked with an asterisk* on the list.
Budget for your supplies
- Art supplies can vary greatly in quality and price. Take some time to understand the pacing of the course and your own learning goals to make informed decisions about what to buy. Instructors will provide more details about the specific materials needed for each course. Talk to them for advice!
- You may already have suitable materials at home; it is not necessary to purchase new materials for every course.
- future skills grant students: Courses that are eligible for the future skills grant will include information about the maximum approved reimbursement amount for material costs. Only materials purchased between Fall 2024 registration open and reimbursement submission deadline for the term will be eligible for reimbursement. Please make sure to track your expenses, and keep all your original receipts. Expenses that exceed the $3500 lifetime limit will not be reimbursed.
Set up any required software
- For courses that require software: purchase, download, and install the required software before the first day of class.
- This will allow you time to troubleshoot any potential installation issues. Most required software are free or have low-cost educational versions that are available to you as an ECU Continuing Studies student.
