What is Bookstore First Day Access?
A program that provides students with digital course materials at a significantly reduced cost, on
the first day of class in Blackboard. Through agreements with publishers and the institution, these
materials are seamlessly integrated into Blackboard, ensuring that every student has access to the
required digital resources from the start of the course. The cost is charged to the student account,
simplifying the process and eliminating the need for separate purchases.
How does it work?
Students will receive access to their digital course materials on the first day of class in
Blackboard. The discounted price is automatically charged to the student account. Students may
choose to remain in the program (do nothing) or they may opt-out via the Want to Opt Out
button in Blackboard, or within the View Your Inclusive Access Materials hyperlink within the
Welcome email.
Books that are not included in Bookstore First Day Access?
Some physical text and Printed Access codes are not available through Bookstore First Day
Access. They will be available for purchase in store or online through the Bookstore website.
