In partnership with Barnes and Noble College, the WVU Bookstore will launch First Day® Complete this fall, a new course material delivery program for undergraduate students that provides rented course materials at a lower, flat-rate price in a convenient package before the first day of class.
With this new rental program, you will receive your course materials (required textbooks, lab manuals, access codes and digital textbooks) at a savings of 35-50%. Instead of purchasing materials a la carte, you will receive all required course materials on a rental basis for a flat fee of $360 for full-time (12 credit hours or more) and $168 for part-time (11 credit hours or less) students, which will be added to your WVU MyAccount.
Here’s how First Day® Complete will work for the fall 2024 semester:
- You register for classes.
- One month before classes start (July 22), you will receive an email from Barnes and Noble College instructing you to review your courses and choose how to receive your materials (pickup or direct shipment).
- The WVU Bookstore will prepare your course materials in a convenient package.
- You will receive an email notification when your order is ready for pickup at the WVU Bookstore or when it ships, depending on your selection.
- Your digital materials will be delivered within eCampus.
- When your courses are over, the WVU Bookstore will send you helpful reminder emails to return your rental course materials.
All undergraduate students on the Morgantown, Beckley and Keyser campuses taking classes during the upcoming fall semester are automatically enrolled in the program. Beginning July 22, you will receive emails from Barnes and Noble College with a link to opt out should you decide to purchase your course materials outside the program. You must opt out by Aug. 30.
More information on First Day® Complete, including a list of FAQs, can be found on the Student Accounts website, and additional updates will be provided as we approach the fall semester.
