Georgia Southern students are saving money through the University\u2019s Day1Access program. Instead of buying traditional textbooks, the program offers students digital course materials at a reduced cost. Last school year, the program helped students save more than $1.7 million. They have saved more than $4.2 million in required course materials costs since the program\u2019s inception in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe cost of higher education is a major concern for all students and their families, and this is just one way Georgia Southern is trying to lower the financial burden for them,\u201d said Provost and Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs Carl Reiber, Ph.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University Store partners with Willo Labs to provide the digital course materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUniversity Store\u2019s focus is always on providing students with guaranteed service and ensuring they have what they need to be successful at Georgia Southern,\u201d said Derick Robertson, director of Georgia Southern\u2019s Retail Services. \u201cOur Day1Access program is growing with over 418 courses using the program and over 17,800 students participating in spring 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
