What are required course materials for enrollment?
If your school required you to purchase books or other course materials directly from the school as a condition for enrollment, the costs of those books and course materials would be considered required for enrollment.
Example 1:
If, as a condition for enrollment, your school required you to purchase books or other course materials directly from the school, include that amount where we ask for the cost of books and materials that you had to buy directly from the school.
Example 2:
If, as a condition for enrollment, your school did NOT require you to purchase books or other course materials directly from the school but instead, allowed you to purchase your books somewhere else (online, for instance), then include that amount where we ask for the cost of books and materials that you didn't have to buy directly from the school.
Example 3:
If, as a condition for enrollment, your school required you to purchase a laptop computer directly from the school, then include that amount where we ask for the cost of books and materials that you had to buy directly from the school.
Be sure to keep records such as receipts for any purchases you made.
