Per the General Catalog, students may be charged fees in some courses for the use, rental or consumption of materials, tools or equipment, or for the costs of materials or services necessary to provide a special supplemental educational experience. These fees are called Course Materials and Services Fees (CMSF). All courses with a CMSF are noted accordingly on Schedule Builder. The Entomology & Nematology Department (subject codes: ABI, ENT, NEM) and Plant Pathology Department (subject codes: GDB, PLP, SAS) courses listed below have a CMSF.
Students who are registered for a course with a CMSF but are unable to afford the fee may complete and submit a Course Materials and Services Fee Waiver before the 20th day of instruction. Please scroll to the bottom of the page to find instructions and more details about submitting a waiver.
