Core Course Materials Packages are pre-assembled bundles of required materials for high-demand courses. These packages cover all required resources, including textbooks, subscriptions, and lab equipment, where applicable. Core courses currently covered include:
- Chemistry 101DL & 101 L9
- Biology 201L
By implementing set deadlines, DukeLIFE can work with the financial aid office and Duke Bookstore to expedite the delivery of materials for these courses.
Students who are not enrolled in a Core Courses course may still request materials using the regular CMA application as long as the instructor has adopted their materials through the Duke Bookstore.
