小蝌蚪APP淲e want to make it very clear to our students and the public that the 小蝌蚪APP makes every effort to ensure that the materials required for courses are affordable.

小蝌蚪APP淲e welcome the opportunity to clarify some confusion that resulted from the pricing of materials for Accounting 201 and 202.

小蝌蚪APP淭he materials 小蝌蚪APP both a textbook and access codes for online supplementary materials 小蝌蚪APP are available from the 小蝌蚪APP小蝌蚪APP檚 bookstore for $313.

小蝌蚪APP淭he 小蝌蚪APP, the bookstore and the publisher worked to set the price for the materials, which students could use for Accounting 201 and 202, which are offered consecutively in the fall and spring semesters.

小蝌蚪APP淭he publisher, after conversations with the Department of Accounting, set the online price at nearly $1,000 to discourage students from choosing to buy materials directly from its website. They believed it was best for the students to use a printed textbook since many of the materials in the book are needed for homework and classroom instruction. 

小蝌蚪APP淪tudents who chose not to purchase the book and access codes from the 小蝌蚪APP bookstore discovered the price difference. We are not aware of any students who purchased the materials online; if they did so, they should contact the College of Business Administration, which will work with them to rectify the situation.  

小蝌蚪APP淏ut again, let me stress, this is a misunderstanding. The 小蝌蚪APP wants students enrolled in the course to spend only $313, and I am grateful for the chance to encourage them to do so.小蝌蚪APP
