Titles Book List??
Does anyone know when Titles will release the book list? I'm really anxious to find out just how much I'll be paying for books this year. :/

You're probably going to get people's hopes up with the title of this thread, lol.

If you're looking for a ballpark figure or books that might be used you could always asked about specific courses. Perhaps past students can say which books their professor used. They may be using a newer edition or a different book now but you might be able to get some of the titles/prices and get figure out close to what you'll have to spend on books.

I think it usually comes out in August.
But as a side note, why does Titles advertise the Textbook and Technology Grant? You can't apply for it anymore since the only way to get it is if you apply and receive OSAP.

You don't have to get OSAP to get the TTG. I didn't get OSAP but got the $150 TTG

They didn't cancel it. It just means you can't receive the TTG without receiving OSAP.

Plus, they are limiting the amount of people they are giving the grant to this year.
