Are costs of class supplies 529 qualified expense if the student drops the class

My daughter took an art class that had a long list of required (expensive) supplies.   She dropped the class halfway through the semester.  We received no tuition refund and I understand that the tuition counts as a qualified expense for the 529 plan.  Does the cost of the materials that we purchased for the dropped class also still count as a qualified expense?
