Culinary and Baking and Pastry students need to purchase additional supplies for the start of the fall semester.

- Black Sharpie markers
- Lock for your locker at the Academy or Fairman building
- Pens and pencils
- White short-sleeve t-shirts with no design or decoration. (If you wear a shirt under your chef coat, it must be a plain white t-shirt.)
Camera is Required
The camera is used to take pictures of classroom demos and cooking assignments for your portfolios.
- Cell phones with a good camera.
- You must be able to take and upload 30 photos per semester for your portfolios.
- Photos are required to be very clear and of good quality.
- Points will be deducted from your portfolio grade for unclear, blurry, and/or poor-quality photos.
Computer, Laptop, Tablet
Please note: Our recommendation for personal computers has changed due to social distancing guidelines being implemented on campus.
- We recommend (if possible) you bring a computer (desktop, laptop, or tablet) to campus.
- If you are looking to purchase a new computer, we recommend purchasing a Windows-based operating system, as those are more compatible with the technology on campus. IT Support provides more hardware guidelines.
- A camera and microphone (built into the device) or an external webcam are highly recommended to allow you the option of participating in some lecture classes virtually.
- If you are unable to provide your own computer, you will have access to a computer lab in the IUP Punxsutawney Living and Learning Center.
- Printing (black and white) is available in the computer lab from university computers.
- You must add money to your I-Card to print.

- Textbooks
