FIRST DAY® COMPLETE!

First Day Complete is a course material delivery model that simplifies the student experience, lowers the cost of materials, and ensures students have access to all of their required course materials on or before the first day of class. Through this innovative program, physical books are conveniently packaged and provided to students on a rental basis, and access to digital materials is delivered directly within D2L Brightspace, simply priced at $365 per semester for undergraduate students and $25 per credit hour for students enrolled in online and graduate courses. At the end of the term, students will receive email reminders to return rented physical course materials to the bookstore.

• Register for your classes and the bookstore will start preparing your course materials
• One month before classes start, you will receive an email instructing you to select your delivery preference (in-store pickup or shipped directly to you)
• An email notification will be sent when your order is ready for pickup or when it ships
