Students and their families are encouraged to carefully review all available housing options in and around Corsicana to determine what works best for their situation.

TOOLS

Navarro College provides a limited set of tools for freshman students to use while working and learning in the lab during their first year of study. However, during the first semester, students are required to purchase a small starter set of tools as well as a Fluke 179 multimeter for use in their electrical course.

As students progress through the program, they are encouraged to continue building their personal tool collection. Students are required to provide their own tools for use both in the lab and during practicum experiences. By the sophomore year, students are expected to have a complete set of tools in order to successfully meet program requirements.

The John Deere TECH program instructors provide a prescribed tool list to help guide purchases. Tool vendors also visit campus to present their tool programs and financing options. Students are encouraged to review the instructor-prescribed tool list, ask instructors for recommendations, and explore potential John Deere student programs, which may offer discounts or packages on John Deere tools, tool sets, and toolboxes.

Students are also encouraged to ask their instructors about Empeople Credit Union, a financial institution that partners with John Deere employees, dealers, and students. Empeople offers financial services such as checking and savings accounts, loans, and special student financing programs that may help with purchasing tools and equipment needed for the program.
