You are in a course that is participating in the Day One Access program. Through this program, some or all of your materials for this course will be delivered digitally through Canvas, at a reduced price. All communication from University Book Store about this program will be sent to your UW email address, and it is your responsibility to read this information thoroughly to ensure that you understand how the program works, and what your responsibilities are as a participant. Participation is optional, and if you find that Day One Access is not right for you, make sure to opt out by the deadline for this quarter. To opt out, click the “want to opt out?” button on the Vitalsource tool in the Day One Access Materials tab.

PAYMENT DEADLINE FOR FALL QUARTER 2026 – SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18

To access your materials: Your materials are accessible in Canvas. Click on Courses, then on the Day One Access Materials link. On this page, you will see an item ‘card’ with a button that either says Launch Courseware or Read Book. Click on this button to access your materials.

To pay for your materials: The balance due for your Day One Access materials will appear on your Accounts page in MyUW, underneath your tuition balance. To pay for your materials, click the “make payment” button underneath the balance, and you will be re-directed to your shopping cart on ubookstore.com. You will receive an order confirmation after submitting payment – please keep this confirmation for your records. Your balance due in MyUW will be updated within 24-48 hours.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT PAYMENT: The balance for your Day One Access materials is NOT part of tuition, and must be paid separately. It is not covered automatically by financial aid, scholarships, or most other funding (exception: funding that is billed through University Book Store by your program, and which specifically covers the cost of course materials). If you have not paid by the posted deadline, you will lose access to your materials.
