Program Kit Lists
Bookstore · Wing A, main level · ext. 2150 · 2026–27 academic year
This page lists the contents of each program kit stocked by the Bookstore and the price of each item. Kit totals restate the kit charges in the Schedule of Charges, which governs. Programs not listed here do not require a kit. Required materials for individual courses are posted by course section before registration; see the Bookstore.
How kits are issued and charged
- Charge. The kit charge is assessed to the student’s account with the program’s bench and laboratory charges, as published in the Schedule of Charges. It is not collected at the Bookstore register.
- Issue. Kits are issued at the Bookstore in the student’s first semester in the program, on presentation of a College ID, beginning the first day of the term. The kit is retained by the student.
- Kits are issued as a unit. A student who already owns an item that meets the published specification may substitute it. The program faculty review the item and sign a kit substitution form; the student presents the form at the Bookstore before the kit is issued. The kit is issued without that item, and the Bursar credits the listed item price to the student’s account. Substitution forms are accepted through the end of the second week of the term. No substitution credit is given after the kit is issued.
- Items are sold individually at the prices listed, for replacement of a lost, worn, or damaged item. Individual purchases are paid at the register and are not charged to the kit charge.
- Returns and refunds. Kit charges are refundable only if the kit has not been issued (Policy 5.20). Opened kits are not returnable. Individually purchased items may be returned unopened, with a receipt, through the end of the second week of the term.
- Used tools. The Bookstore does not buy, sell, consign, or accept in trade used tools, kits, or footwear, and kit items are not included in textbook buyback. A used item a student already owns may be submitted for substitution under rule 3; the program faculty determine whether it meets specification. Cosmetology implements submitted for substitution must be in a condition that permits disinfection under the rules of the Ohio State Cosmetology and Barber Board.
- Specifications. Kit items are specified by function and standard, not by brand. The Bookstore stocks units that meet the specification and does not guarantee a particular manufacturer from one term to the next.
- Financial aid credit balances may be used for individual item purchases during the first two weeks of each term; see the Bursar for eligibility.
Questions about kit issue: Bookstore, ext. 2150. Questions about whether an item meets specification: the program faculty. Questions about kit charges on an account: Office of the Bursar, ext. 2180.
