Sign up for an upcoming CLST class: CLST REGISTRATION

Students who sign up for a course will be provided with a digital file for the syllabus which may be downloaded. It is up to the student whether they choose to print out the syllabus(or they may bring a laptop to class to view the syllabus during lectures). CLST only provides the textbooks for which they can supply a downloadable file (this applies to DE courses as well, so you may want to contact us first regarding the textbook before you order a course). The textbooks for which CLST does not have rights must be obtained by the student at their own expense; you will be provided with the title and ISBN for these classes. You may obtain these books in any way you choose, including purchasing new or used, by Kindle, checking out of a library, borrowing, sharing with other students, etc. In some cases the textbook will be important in finding answers to exam questions that are not included in the syllabus or the course lectures.
