Day One Access for Every Learner

Day One Access programs ensure every student has their required learning tools on the first day of class without the delays, guesswork, or last-minute workarounds that put pressure on the store. This model has become the preferred approach, replacing unpredictable demand with reliable, convenient access. When materials are delivered through familiar systems, students start the term prepared and confident, and stores gain greater visibility, fewer exceptions to manage, and a stronger role in supporting student success from day one.
