Welding Classes, Finally!!!

Well, hotdog, i finally got up and out to the local community college and enrolled in welding classes this August.
I'm shooting for a certificate to aid in my career change.
I've been an automotive technician for the last 11 or so years since i was 15 and decided that i could never make enough money fixing cars for someone else, and i really want to start a family, so, i decided to start training at my life long dream of being a welder.

One thing i cannot seem to find an answer for, is what all do i need to bring to classes? I figure a hood, and some gloves at least. Would they allow goggles?
I have a vintage pair of welders goggles i inheireted from my dad, but that's all i have. After searching online, hoods are freakin' expensive, for decent looking ones anyways. Would it be worth my time to look for a used hood?

I'm starting off with a lighter load of 3 classes a week after 6pm.

Fundamentals of Welding Theory
Arithmetic for Welders
Arc Welding-flat are the 3 classes i'm starting with.
