First Day®

The First Day® program is a course material textbook savings program designed to ensure students have their required materials within Canvas and are prepared for the first day of class. This program offers significant savings, a simplified payment process, automatic enrollment, and an option to easily opt-out. 

Note: All students enrolling in participating courses will be automatically enrolled in First Day®. When ordering other course materials online, do not add First Day® items to your shopping cart. Enrolled students who do not wish to receive course materials using First Day® must opt-out by the semester 100% refund deadline.

Benefits of First Day®

• Deeply discounted
  • Pay less than the cost of the traditional printed materials sold in the bookstore or available from the publisher
• Simplified payment process
  • Digital course material costs are charged to your student account, the same as your tuition and fees.
• Ready to go on day one
  • Achieve success when you’re prepared on the first day of class with increased course content interaction.
• Save time and frustration
  • No waiting in line at the bookstore. No waiting for materials to come in the mail. Course materials are automatically available through Canvas on the first day of class.

Accessing First Day® Materials in Canvas

Students will access their First Day course materials in their Canvas course. See the Student Experience Video for step by step instructions. 

If students need further assistance, visit First Day® Customer Care, or reach out to the Bookstore. 

Opt-Out of First Day®

Students may opt-out of purchasing the First Day® digital course materials; however, students are still responsible for purchasing course materials and completing all assigned work.

When you opt-out, it means you do not want the automatic charge for your course materials applied to your student account and you will no longer have access to First Day® digital course materials.

2. Select the opt-out button. You are only able to opt-out until the opt-out deadline.
3. Confirm your choice to opt-out within the popup message by marking the checkbox and hitting confirm.
