Students must finalize First Day Complete course materials order; opt-out deadline is Jan. 21

Undergraduate students who have not already obtained textbooks and other required course materials should finalize their First Day Complete order now or opt out of the program by Wednesday (Jan. 21) at 11:59 p.m. EST.

All undergraduate students are automatically enrolled in the WVU Bookstore First Day Complete program, which supplies undergraduate students with their required course materials at a low, flat-rate price. The program provides all required textbooks, lab manuals, access codes, and digital textbooks on a rental basis.

Graduate and professional students are not included in this program and are responsible for purchasing their required course materials. High school ACCESS students are also not included in this program.

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.

Students can finalize their order now by accessing their MIX emails and finding the emails sent by “Barnes & Noble College – West Virginia University” with instructions to select their delivery preference (pick-up or delivery).

If students find a more cost-effective route after comparing the cost of the program to the cost of individually purchasing each required book, students may choose to opt out of First Day Complete through Wednesday (Jan. 21) at 11:59 p.m. EST. The opt-out link is available online. Please allow up to 3 days after opting out for the charge to be removed from your account.

Before opting out, we encourage students to use the Course Material Finder by selecting the spring opt-out term to compare pricing for purchasing course materials individually to the First Day Complete program’s flat fee.

If students do not opt out by the deadline, their course materials will be held at the WVU Bookstore awaiting pick-up, and their WVU MyAccount will be charged.
