CS Student Supply Lists

ECPSI Class Supplies

About Student Supply Lists:

Students must purchase their own supplies.
- Plan to spend $150-450 depending on session length and number of credits. Additional supply costs may result based on individual projects and material choices.
- If you already own any of the same or similar materials, you do not need to repurchase them.
Please visit Where to Buy Supplies for information on vendors close to campus.
All courses require note-taking materials: pencils, pens, sketchbooks, or notebooks.
Students are encouraged to bring any materials they would like to use that are not on the supply list.
Field trip courses may require transit and entry fees, which the instructor will notify you of in advance.

Shipping Supplies to the Dorm:

Students are not permitted to have supplies shipped to their dorm before their arrival. Anything shipped to the Jones Hall before the start of a student's stay will be returned to the sender. Please note that Residence Life cannot hold items for you before or after your course.

While their class is in session, students may have supplies shipped to the following address:

Jones Hall

7 West Madison Street

Room Number

Chicago, IL 60602
