Take action now to get all your required textbooks at one flat-rate price
August 18, 2025
Undergraduate students should finalize their First Day Complete order now to be prepared with all required course materials on the first day of class.
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.
WVU students who participated in First Day Complete during the 2024-2025 academic year saved an average of 22% on course materials.
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 your semester charges through WVU MyAccount.
You can finalize your order now by accessing your MIX emails and finding the emails sent by Barnes & Noble with instructions to select your delivery preference (pick-up or delivery).
If you find a more cost-effective route after comparing the cost of the program to the cost of individually purchasing each required book, you may choose to opt out of First Day Complete through August 30 at 11:59 p.m. EST.
The opt-out link is available here. Please allow up to 3 days after opting out for the charge to be removed from your account.
Before opting out, we encourage you to use the Course Material Finder by selecting the fall opt-out term to compare pricing for purchasing course materials individually to the First Day Complete program’s flat fee.
For more information on the program, visit the First Day Complete webpage. For questions, please email FDC@mail.wvu.edu.
