To determine the price of textbooks for a specific course, click www.efollett.com or visit your campus bookstore: North Campus: 305-237-1247, Room 4101. Kendall Campus: 305-237-2361/2063, Room 8105. Wolfson Campus: 305-237-3236, Room 2102. Homestead Campus: 305-237-5042/5043, Room F102. The best time to purchase textbooks for an upcoming term is at the beginning of classes. If a student has a schedule and/or syllabus, he or she can purchase textbooks before the class begins. When going to purchase textbooks, bring your schedule as the Bookstore is organized alphabetically by course abbreviation and by reference number (6-digit code identifying the class). 2. Supplies – Most courses require students to buy school supplies, office supplies, art supplies, computer storage media and other necessary supplies. A home computer is recommended. Campus bookstores sell software applications at special student discounts. Also budget money for food, clothing, gas and other incidental expenses.   © 2012 ela/Miami Dade College School of Entertainment and Design Technology
