Textbooks and Materials

You (the student) are responsible for your own school supplies (notebooks, pens, pencils, highlighters, paper, etc.). Your school district is responsible for providing textbooks and required course materials. Each school district owns the textbooks and supplies purchased for CCP courses and should provide you with the textbook policy for your school. Note: If you self-pay for a CCP course, you will be responsible for the cost of textbooks and course materials for that course.

For campus-based courses, at the request of the school district, you may rent or purchase textbooks and required course-related supplies (for example, blue books, scantron sheets, dissection kit, lab coat, or safety goggles) at YSU's bookstore, Barnes and Noble Education. Your school district pays for the cost of these items. It is up to YOU to confirm with your school whether you can purchase through YSU Barnes and Noble.

At the end of the semester, you return purchased books and supplies to the school. Rented books are returned directly to YSU Barnes and Noble. You may be charged for books and supplies not returned.

You can see what books you need before the first day of class by using the bookstore's textbook look-upClick here for directions.

For high school-based courses, the relevant YSU academic department approves all textbooks. The CCP textbook is the same one used on campus. However, some departments will consider comparable books. The school district is responsible for supplying textbooks, lab materials, copies, etc.
