Balances remaining at the end of the summer, however, will not be refunded, so don't overestimate the amount you think you will need. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, individual classes will eat lunch together at locations chosen by each class separately. All students will need to purchase at least some of their materials in the University's Book Center on Fifth Avenue. There is no Pennsylvania sales tax on required textbooks, so take your pink registration form or Pitt ID with you when you go to the Book Center. Instructors will inform you of any other supplementary materials that may be needed.
Several classes require students to view video materials outside of class.
There are VCRs available for student use in the Media Resource Center in Hillman Library, room G-20. Just bring your Pitt ID and whatever videos you need to view. Hillman library has one of the largest collections of Russian feature, animation and documentary films in the country. A language lab is available where you can work on your tapes or access additional instruction materials. Your class may require work with audio tapes stored in the laboratory.
