What Are the Costs?

Your total costs would include the published price of each course you take, and any ancillary fees (like ACC campus parking and insurance), plus any textbooks required.  The latest edition texts for BMGT 1009 Applied PM and BMGT 1040 PMP/CAPM Exam Prep are usually widely available, from the ACC Bookstore (select your TERM (e.g. Fall 2019), then the DEPARTMENT (e.g. BMGT), then the COURSE number (e.g. 1021, 1009, 1040, etc.), then the SECTION (a 5-digit number, e.g. 71675).

But call first before making a trip anywhere to ensure that they are open, and the current correct edition (per the course syllabus) is actually in stock at the location specified – they may still be stocking an older edition.  These texts are also generally available at many other book sources, both locally and through internet orders.  You could search using one of the metasearch engines such as AddAll.com, or CheapestTextbooks.com to find the best combination of price, condition, and availability. Be sure to use the correct ISBN from the course syllabus!

Additional costs you may want to incur might include PMI® membership (which includes local chapter membership, and a free downloadable softcopy of the PMBOK® Guide, as well as many other standards and references), and maybe a paperback copy of the PMBOK® Guide (some people still like to have a reference book on their shelf).
