    2. Purchase of expendable academic course supplies (i.e., notebooks, pens) and cost of rental of nonexpendable supplies (e.g. computer equipment and cameras) that are required of all students enrolled in a class.
    3. Medical and dental costs not covered by another insurance program (e.g. premiums for optional medical insurance, hearing aid, vision therapy and off-campus psychological counseling).
    4. Costs associated with student-athlete or family emergencies.
