DAY1 ACCESS is a collaborative program between the Ichabod Shop, faculty, and publishers. Students enrolled in this program will have access to the required course materials on the first day of class. It is designed to be:
- Affordable – most affordable option in the market; through cost savings you can spread your dollar further.
- Convenient – all students have access on/before the first day of class regardless of financial aid status.
- Worry/Hassle Free – materials are located in one location, D2L; you don’t have to stress over course materials and where you will purchase them and if they are the correct materials.
- Accessibility/Study Assistance – all materials meet/exceed standards set forth by the National Federation of the Blind and have study assistance such as: audio books, flashcard creation, note taking, highlighting, bookmarking and more.
Your course will be identified as DAY1 ACCESS under your course materials on the Ichabod Shop website.https://www.ichabodshop.com/home
All DAY1 ACCESS materials are provided digitally through D2L. If your instructor requires an access code or additional Interactive or Adaptive courseware (Connect, MindTap, Aplia, Mastering, MyLab) these will also be available through D2L, in addition to your digital eBook.
Most DAY1 ACCESS prices are lower than the cost to access the materials directly from the publisher, with the average cost being 60% less than the new print textbook.
When you enroll in a DAY1 ACCESS course, WU Virtual book charge will be added to your Washburn student account along with your tuition & fees for the semester.
A WU Virtual book charge provides you, the student, with the choice of opting out & acquiring required materials for your class somewhere else. You have until the opt out deadline to opt out of having the WU Virtual book charge applied to your student account.
When you opt out of participating in the DAY1 ACCESS, access to your course materials will be terminated in D2L. The course material charge that was applied to your student account will also be refunded. Should you realize after opting out that you wish to opt in, you will have until the 100% refund date to do so to regain immediate access to your materials. This option will be available in D2L for the course up until the 100% refund date.
You have the ability to opt out & back in as many times as you want until the deadline.
Log into your course in D2L. Look for and click on the Course Materials link. Once the new window opens, click on the opt-out bubble. If you experience trouble opting-out, email [email protected]
Simple; visit or email the Ichabod Shop at [email protected]to make arrangements to purchase your course materials subscription, thus reactivating access to your course materials in D2L.
Yes, if you drop your course prior to the 100% refund date your previous charge for the DAY1 ACCESS materials will be refunded.
Courses dropped after the add/drop date are not eligible for a refund.
Yes, if your books are traditionally covered by your 3rd party scholarship, your DAY1 ACCESS materials will also be covered.
No, we have a way to identify students who have purchased one instance of DAY1 ACCESS Cengage Unlimited. Therefore, you will only be charged for the subscription once for the semester regardless of the number of DAY1 ACCESS Cengage Unlimited courses you are registered in. The advantage to this is you may also use the subscription for any other Cengage course you may be taking for the semester as well. To access the materials, simply log into D2L and register. When you enter your other classes using Cengage, log in using the credentials you had when you registered, and your materials will be synced for future use in D2L. To access materials outside of D2L, you will need to log in using your credentials used when registering to obtain access to your Cengage dashboard.
