Labs

When students are on campus attending program specific lab courses, they are required to be in full uniform. The pharmacy technician uniform consists of a navy blue scrub shirt with the program crest affixed to the left arm (may be substituted with a pharmacy technician program specific t-shirt for certain labs), navy blue scrub pants, a white lab coat, and closed toe shoes. All components of the lab uniform may be purchased through the college bookstore.

Equipment

All lab materials will provided to the students. Students are responsible for their uniform and textbook requirements.

Software

Students have access to industry-leading software packages and bundles that can be found in rooms, labs, and podiums across our campuses. Computers at each campus will be loaded with the applications for use in your courses. To access these features, you must log in to the network using your student number. You can see a comprehensive list of software and software packages installed by room and by campus here.

When on campus, all software requirements are accessible via lab computers and when working remotely, students will have access to all pharmacy software via classapps.

If your instructor is using eReserves, you will see a module in the course content on eCentennial. The list may include links to library resources like databases, articles, and eBooks; book chapters; web links; and open educational resources.
