First Day Complete program will launch Nov. 28 for spring 2026 semester

The WVU Bookstore’s First Day Complete program will launch on Nov. 28 for the spring 2026 semester. The program supplies all undergraduate students with their required course materials at a low, flat-rate price.

This program provides a lower-cost, lower-stress approach to obtaining required textbooks and other course materials, including lab manuals, access codes, and digital textbooks, provided on a rental basis. WVU students who participated in First Day Complete during the 2024-2025 academic year saved an average of 22% on course materials.

The cost of First Day Complete, which is $345 per semester for full-time undergraduate students and $161 per semester for part-time undergraduate students, will automatically be added to students’ semester charges through WVU MyAccount.

Undergraduate students will begin receiving emails to their MIX email accounts on Nov. 28 with full information on the First Day Complete program, including instructions on selecting their delivery preference (pick-up or delivery) for their course materials.

Students must complete this step to finalize their order and receive their materials.

Students may choose to opt out of First Day Complete beginning Nov. 28 through Jan. 21 at 11:59 p.m. EST. The opt-out link will be made available online on Nov. 28.

Before opting out, we encourage students to use the Course Material Finder by selecting the spring opt-out term to compare the pricing for individual books and access codes from the WVU Bookstore to the First Day Complete flat fee to determine if purchasing course materials individually is a more cost-effective route.
