REQUIRED SUPPLIES
There are required supplies you will need prior to beginning your first year of veterinary school. To ensure you have everything you need and that they are of appropriate quality, we have selected specific materials and you must purchase the required supplies from the University of Minnesota bookstore. There are also several required supplies that can be purchased through the bookstore or from another store of your choosing, as well as required supplies that are not available through the bookstore and must be purchased elsewhere. Purchase of these supplies is required as part of your enrollment, and this payment is not included in the University payment system (i.e. will need to be paid separately). All supplies must be purchased by June 15th, 2024. Use coupon code VETMED2024 at checkout to receive 20% off through 6/15/24 (discount not valid on stethoscopes.).
