How does the First Day Complete affordable access model actually work? Get a step-by-step look at the student experience to see how better access, convenience and affordability prepares students for success on the first day of class and beyond.

Watch to Understand

• How the bookstore communicates with students – primarily via email, students’ preferred channel
• What students see – personalized course pages and more
• What actions students need to take – review pre-filled list of materials and select how they want to receive any print materials
  

Students receive all required course materials by the first day of class with First Day Complete. They take advantage of personalized concierge service, which provides all physical and digital materials via in-store pickup, shipping or electronic delivery. Course material costs are bundled into tuition or applied as a course charge, saving students an average of 35-50% over their academic journey.

While students get improved access, affordability and convenience, it’s about more than just the experience. They see meaningful results in the classroom, too. Affordable access programs are proven to positively impact the student experience and student outcomes, including being better prepared for class and achieving higher course completion rates.
