What is First Day (Previously Inclusive Access)?
First Day textbooks provide convenient, easy access to course materials at a discounted cost for students.
Materials are available in Blackboard (BB) on the first day of class for courses using First Day. Students are charged for the required materials through their account after enrolling in a course using First Day textbooks.
How do I access my First Day Materials?
If your class uses First Day textbooks, the materials will become available in blackboard on the first day of class. Remember, OMGT courses become available in BB approximately two days before the session begins, but First Day materials may not be available until the first day of class.

Log in to Blackboard and select your course. Next, find and click the 'First Day Materials' link on the left-hand navigation menu. A new window will open, displaying your textbook, and you can click the green 'Read Now' button to access your online textbook.
After you’ve accessed the First Day materials through BB, an account will automatically be created for you to access your First Day materials and bookstore account. You will receive an email from the bookstore with a link to change your password to finish setting up your account.
