If you don't have a graphing calculator, you MAY be able to get through this class with a scientific calculator and Desmos. However, I wouldn't want to. Luckily there are lots of options to help you with graphing and calculations.

You can purchase a TI-83 or 84 starting at around $90 from retailers such as Walmart, Amazon, etc.
This could be a good option if you have a lot of advanced math and science courses ahead of you that will require a calculator.

The Reedley College Library has a free calculator rental program. You can check out a calculator for the entire semester, while supplies last.
In a normal semester they are usually all checked out within the first three days of the semester.
Contact the Library to make an appointment to check out a calculator at library@reedleycollege.edu.
Visit the Reedley College Library website for updated information or follow the Library on Instagram.

Desmos is a graphing software that is available free online or as a downloadable app for your smartphone or tablet. I highly recommend trying it out even if you have a graphing calculator. It often gives a better image and graphing polar equations (chapter 12) is easier than on a graphing calculator.
