Providing Students Digital Course Materials on Day One

St. Lawrence University's Day One Digital program provides students with available digital course materials and courseware AUTOMATICALLY on the first day of class. Day One Digital converts physical course materials into accessible, interactive, and adaptive digital content, while reducing the cost to students. No waiting for a paper book. No special trips to the bookstore to buy an access code. Day 1 Digital course materials are charged directly to your student account.

Please Note: Many, but not all materials are available digitally as part of this program. Those not offered will need to be purchased separately. Students will receive an email prior to the beginning of the semester to let them know which materials are included for the classes they are registered for. If the student does not receive an email, they do not have any materials available to them in the D1D program.

NOTE: The Opt-out Deadline for Fall 2025 is 9/10/25 to receive a refund

FAQ

How do I know if I have a D1D material?

You will have received an email notifying you if a D1D material has been assigned to you. Additionally, you can check for any assigned materials by clicking on the Day 1 Digital link located on the left-hand side of your course page in Canvas. If there is no D1D link in your Canvas course, then that class does not have D1D material associated with it. It’s always best to refer to the email you received, as some faculty may not activate their Canvas site until after the first day of class. While this is uncommon, it can happen. You can also ask your instructor if the class has D1D material associated with it. Keep in mind that not all materials and not all classes participate in the D1D program.

Do all classes have D1D materials?

No, not all classes have materials available through the D1D program.

What is Day One Digital?

The Day One Digital program at St. Lawrence University is part of a national Inclusive Access model in which publishers and higher education institutions provide timely course materials to students at the lowest possible price. Students in a Day One Digital class pay for and receive digital content, which lowers costs for everyone. Students are billed for the materials specific to the classes they are registered for along with their usual tuition and fees.

What is an Interactive or Adaptive Learning Platform (courseware)?

Interactive Learning Platforms, also called ILPs or courseware, are much more than just eBooks. They are interactive software platforms developed to provide an enhanced learning experience beyond reading the text. They may include video and audio presentations, animations, adaptive quizzes, and homework sets. Courseware can also include various levels of instructor customization, peer-to-peer note sharing, flash cards, eBook searchability and other study aids.

How much does Day One Digital cost?

Day One Digital prices vary depending on the course materials chosen by the instructor, and whether the material includes courseware or ILP, but most Day One Digital prices are significantly lower than both the physical copy price and publishers' listed prices.

How will I get my access code?

You will access most books via Canvas without needing an access code, but if your material uses a code, you may receive it via email or from your professor.

How do I pay for Day One Digital?

When you register for a Day One Digital class, you will see a charge on your student bill that includes the class and the name of the material (ex: GNDR321: Gender Through the Pri) in your SLU portal. When you have a Day One Digital material, there will be nothing tangible to purchase from the Brewer Bookstore. You will have access to your digital course materials via Canvas from the first day of class. If you prefer to use physical materials, you can opt-out of Day One Digital by 9/10/25 to be refunded the electronic course materials charge. You will then be responsible for sourcing your own physical materials.

NOTE: You must opt-out by 9/10/25 to receive a refund

What does it mean to opt out? How do I opt out?
