If nothing is listed under required, then no.

The T&T is given out later in the year (oddly). The amount is the same for everyone. It was 150$ last year, but there have been rumours that it has decreased.

If some of your courses aren't listed in the course materials section does that mean there aren't any textbooks or courseware for it?

It may mean that Titles got the listing from the prof after the deadline. Soo there (likely) still are books...but Titles isn't publishing them.

It's a weird...thing.

Good question, I would like to know as well. I know that if it's a term 2 course, then there are chances the professor hasn't gotten around to setting up the list yet (They might not be teaching the course first term so they don't have to have their course completely outlined yet).

But I do have 1 course in term 1 that doesn't have a book list. So I'm a bit curious. It would be great if I don't have to buy another book though XD. I'm at roughly 895$ for new and 656$ old (not sure if there are taxes too...) and that's only for 6 courses out of 10 :(

I could only find the books for 3 out of my 10 courses listed. I knew I couldn't get off with only $400 worth of book.

It says Fall 2009. I don't think they added the Winter term.

Yeah, but some courses for Fall 2009 aren't up yet either. :(

I think this might be true b/c of all my courses I only found my courses for Term 1 listed thus far.

If a book isn't listed yet for Term 1 it may still get listed later on. The Prof just hasn't ordered it or given the listing to Titles yet.
