Paw Pack (First Day Complete) is a course material delivery model that simplifies the student experience, lowers the cost of materials, and ensures students have access to all of their required course materials on or before the first day of class. Through this innovative program, physical books are conveniently packaged and provided to students on a rental basis, and access to digital material is directly within Canvas, simply priced at $24 per credit hour. At the end of the term, students will receive email reminders to return rented physical course materials to the bookstore.
