First Day® the Wright Way

First Day the Wright Way is a course material delivery model that simplifies the student experience, lowers the cost of materials, and ensures students have access to all required course materials on or before the first day of class. Through this innovative program, physical books are conveniently packaged and provided to students on a rental basis, and digital materials are accessed directly through Canvas, the College's course platform. At the end of the term, students will receive email reminders to return rented physical course materials to the bookstore.

• Register for your classes and the bookstore will start preparing your course materials
• One month before classes start, you will receive an email instructing you to select your delivery preference (in-store pickup or shipped directly to you)
• An email notification will be sent when your order is ready for pickup or when it ships
• Your digital materials will be delivered for your course(s) within Canvas

All undergraduates (both full time and part time) are eligible to participate.

The program provides all required textbooks, eTextbooks, lab manuals, and access codes to eligible students.

The program does not include consumable course supplies that cannot be returned and reused such as lab goggles, dissection kits, molecular model kits, engineering kits or nursing kits.

All eligible students will be automatically enrolled in the First Day® the Wright Way program.

The opt-out window is open until the drop/add deadline of the corresponding semester. When you opt out, the course material charge will be removed from your student account and you will be responsible for purchasing your required materials independently. Keep in mind that opting out means you will no longer receive your materials in a convenient package and access to any digital content will be removed once the opt-out window closes. Options for purchasing course materials independently can be found on the bookstore website.
