Enroll Your Classes Today

Don’t miss out on your chance to save students money on their textbooks. Since 2016, UCF faculty have saved students over $11 million through efforts such as Affordability Counts, Open Educational Resources, Library-Sourced Materials, and First Day™. 

Friday, April 30th is the last day to enroll eligible Fall 2021 courses for First Day™. 

First Day™ is your bookstore’s inclusive access program. With this program, the cost of course materials is added as a charge for the course, by your school, and students receive benefits such as: 

• Deeply discounted, lowest price materials 
• The guaranteed right materials 
• Single Sign-On (no access codes) 
• Access on or before the first day of class 

Commercial publishers and other for-profit entities have set agreements with Barnes & Noble to offer discounted pricing to students for course materials that qualify for First Day™. By opting into this program, students are also able to defer payment through their student account. 

By enrolling your classes in First Day, you’ll be a part of the affordable instructional materials initiative (AIM) and recognized for saving students money at our annual AIM High event.  

Don’t delay! Enroll your courses today to ensure your students have access to affordable instructional materials.  

Once you fill out the form, you can email it directly to Melissa Yopack, Barnes and Noble Assistant General Manager, UCF Bookstores.  

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to email us at affordable@ucf.edu. Charge on!

Sincerely,

The Affordable Instructional Materials Initiative Committee
