Materials
Depending on your classes and the course materials your faculty requires, you may receive a combination of:
- Digital course materials
- Printed textbooks
- Printed lab manual
- Workbooks
Print or digital format is determined based on the adopted material for the specific course prior to the start of class. As a student, if you have a preferred format (print or digital) for textbooks, you should first check with your faculty member to see what format has been chosen for the course.
If it is a digital version, you can contact the N.C. A&T Bookstore for available print options.
If you are a student with a qualified disability requiring print versions or other accommodations, please contact Accessibility Services for more information.
