What textbooks are required? Textbook information is available on our Access Courses web page. Textbook ordering information is available through the University BookStore. If no textbook information is available for a particular course, readings required will be provided as supplements, either electronically (e-Library via e-Reserve) or in print by the instructor, and sent with the course materials. Some other web sites to consider for purchasing textbooks on-line are through: Amazon.com, Half.com, and BN.com

How do I prepare to take a class? 1. Go through the program Setup Lesson. This lesson will make certain you and your computer are ready for M.S. in Agronomy Program coursework. Please let us know if you encounter any technical difficulties or have any questions.

If you haven't already, register for an ISU NetID through Account Services on the Web (ASW). This is your username/password for access to our Student Notebook System (WebCT) and to our online courseware. You will need your red ISUCard to do this. By now you should have received your ISUCard. If not, please let us know.
