21,000+ Undergraduate Students Will Have Access
to All Required Textbooks, Lab Manuals, Access Codes and Electronic
Book Versions Before the First Day of Class
Barnes and Noble College (BNC), a Barnes & Noble
Education, Inc. (NYSE: BNED) company and leading
solutions provider for the education industry, announced today the
upcoming launch of First Day® Complete at Wake Tech
Community College. Barnes & Noble College (BNC), which manages
BNED’s campus bookstores and associated school branded e-commerce
sites, will implement the Eagle Advantage book program for the
21,000 plus undergraduate students who will attend Wake Tech,
starting Fall 2023.
With the launch of Eagle Advantage, all Wake Tech undergraduate
students will have access to all required textbooks, lab manuals,
access codes, digital materials and electronic books in a
convenient bundle before the first day of class. For the Fall 2023
semester, the program will be offered to students at no charge, in
a Wake Tech promotion called Free Book Fall.
By delivering all course materials via one highly convenient
concierge service, First Day Complete ensures students have access
to all their required course materials on or before the first day
of class, allowing them to engage with course content from day one,
making them better prepared and facilitating their academic
success. The program offers full academic freedom for faculty,
allowing them to select course materials they think are best for
their curriculum and leverage BNC’s deep relationships with more
than 6,000 publishers, creating a one-stop, simplified
experience.
“We’re excited about our partnership with Wake Tech Community
College, the largest community college in North Carolina,” said
Jonathan Shar, President, Barnes & Noble College. “Eagle
Advantage ensures students are prepared to begin learning on day
one, driving greater student success while also offering a more
affordable and convenient way for students to obtain their course
materials. We support Wake Tech’s mission of ‘providing equitable
access to education that transforms lives’ and, through this
partnership, we will provide a wide range of academic solutions and
a seamless retail experience to help drive success for Wake Tech
students in the classroom and beyond.”
“As important as textbooks are, most students delay purchasing
them because of cost, and many avoid purchasing them altogether,”
said Wake Tech President Dr. Scott Ralls. “And that can have a
serious impact on their chances of success. We want to give
students every advantage, so we’re excited to launch the Eagle
Advantage program – and to offer it free of charge for fall.”
One month before classes start, students will receive an email
from the Wake Tech bookstore prompting them to select their
preferred delivery method for fall semester materials. The
bookstore will prepare materials for each student and notify them
when materials are available for in-store pickup or have shipped.
Digital materials will be automatically delivered to students.
Beginning with the Spring 2024 semester, students in degree
programs will be charged a flat fee of $27 per credit hour for the
Eagle Advantage book program. At that rate, a full-time student
taking 12 credit hours would pay a total of $324 – about 35% to
50% less than if they purchased each book separately. Supplies
and toolkits required for certain courses are not included, and
must be purchased separately.
Here's what students, faculty and administrators had to say
about their experiences using First Day Complete and how it made a
positive impact at their institutions. Watch the video, here.
