This is applicable to physics students only.
The physics lab is done using lab materials, which are obtained as follows:
Some basic inexpensive materials (called the initial package, which also includes the DVDs for the course) are sent to you at the beginning of the semester, provided you follow the instructions in the link given below and fill out the necessary forms according to instructions given there.
You will purchase some materials from the VHCC bookstore (you will be notified when these for-purchase materials are available, which will be during the second or third week of class; for the first couple of weeks you will use the materials in the initial package).
Depending on your course you might also need to rent some materials and/or devices from the bookstore.
You need not come to campus to perform the labs. All labs are designed so they can be done by a single individual working alone.
More extensive information on lab materials and costs, as well as instructions for filling out the necessary forms, are at the link lab materials info. This is a form that you need to submit, and you also need to submit a form within that form. You should take a minute now and do so.
