We’re Going Digital! 🎉
We’re excited to share that we’re moving fully digital! Beginning immediately, we will no longer mail printed materials to students. All required course materials will be available on Canvas—please be sure to download everything you need before class begins. If you would prefer a printed student spiral book, you may purchase one from the Books tab on our homepage and have it mailed directly to you for an additional fee. This course also requires a regulation book, please purchase with adequate time for shipping to ensure you’re fully prepared.
