Course Materials
The course fee includes everything required for the class work including notebooks, articles, note-paper, pencils, and CDs for those courses requiring them. |
Pre-Course Assignment
The pre-course assignment will be an assigned reading, project, or problem set requiring approximately 2 1/2 hours of study time. It will be posted to the
Pre-Course Preparation website no later than
2 weeks prior to the start of your class.
You may access the pre-course assignment only after payment in full
has been received. Once payment is received, you will be notified if
the pre-course assignment is posted earlier. Each PDP course has a required pre-course assignment. Completion of this assignment is critical to your full participation in the program. To access the link to your pre-course assignment(s), go to the
Pre-Course Preparation website and follow the prompts. Your USER NAME and PASSWORD will be provided to you after the course deposit has been paid
and no later than 30 days. Please note that both the USER NAME and PASSWORD are case sensitive, so be sure to type them in just as they appear.

Attire
You should select your wardrobe in consideration of the weather. Attire for classes is strictly casual - shorts and jeans are standard dress in the classroom. Please note that all spaces in the School are on a central air conditioning system. If you come from a warm climate, you may want a light jacket or sweater to wear in the classroom. There will be some photo opportunities and some participants like to plan weekend trips, so you may want to pack at least one business outfit (dress; suit; jacket and slacks; etc.). If you are more comfortable in attire that is customary or traditional in your country, by all means dress accordingly. |
