First Day Books

Upon registering for courses, you will be automatically enrolled into the program. Once you’ve successfully selected your courses, the Campus Bookstore will start preparing your order. Depending on your preference, you will be notified when to pick up your textbooks at the Niagara University Bookstore or they will be shipped directly to you.

The students’ account will be charged a flat-rate fee each semester for all required books and access codes.

Visit our tuition and fee schedule for additional information about pricing.

The program provides all required course materials including physical or digital textbooks, lab manuals, and access codes to eligible students.

The program does not include select school supplies and kits that cannot be rented, returned, and reused including, but not limited to, lab goggles, lab coats, art kits, and nursing kits.

Students dropping a course or withdrawing from the university must return items issued through the book program within the first 30 days of class.

If a course is added, you must place an online order for the course materials needed through the university bookstore.

Because the program is billed as a flat rate per semester, adding or dropping a course will not impact the cost.

All textbook rentals will be due back at the end of each semester.

If you do not return the rented textbooks to the Campus Bookstore, your student account may be charged the replacement cost and late fees.

Yes, the First Day Complete program provides you with the option to purchase textbooks at a reduced price during the rental return period. The purchase price for individual course materials will vary.

Yes, you will still be required to return continuation course textbooks to receive credit for returning all texts; however, you will be issued the same title for the next semester of the continuation course.

Students electing to opt out of the program must complete the electronic form in myNU before the first day of class. Once the opt-out form is received by the Student Accounts Office, the university is no longer responsible for issuing textbooks to the student. Students are required to opt out each semester.
