• Textbooks and materials provided to the student are the property of the postsecondary institution and must be returned by the student after the course has ended.
• The program does not cover general school supplies such as notebooks, pens, pencils, etc., or non-consumable supplies such as, instrument rental, uniforms, etc.
• Shipping costs will be the responsibility of the PSEO student.
