There will be lab and field activities that require special clothing. This includes a lab coat and safety glasses, which will be supplied by the program.

You will also need to purchase suitable gear for the fieldwork, including chest waders and rubber boots. Steel toe boots/shoes are also required. Students should also purchase their own good quality compass. More information on obtaining these items will be sent out. It is suggested that you also own a good rain suit and rubber boots for the course fieldwork, and suitable warm clothing, such as winter jackets, hats and gloves. Details for these items can be discussed when class begins.

TEXTBOOKS

We primarily use Open-Sources Textbooks which results in reduced costs for students. Purchase of field books and other resource materials may be required but this will be discussed in person when class begins. There is no requirement to purchase resources prior to September.

CAST 328 is the main laboratory. Lectures are scheduled in various classrooms in Charlottetown Centre and CAST. These may vary for each course, so please watch for your posted schedule to determine classrooms. An email will also be sent with a detailed schedule in late August.
