To better ensure that students are prepared for class from the first day of instruction, Linfield partnered with Barnes & Noble to launch a new textbook rental program this fall. The First Day Complete program delivers print and digital course materials to students before the first day of class – at no additional cost to students.
With First Day Complete, Linfield became the only college in Oregon where books are included in the cost of tuition.
“This takes the guesswork out of budgeting for textbooks and eliminates a major chore for students at the beginning of the semester,” said Michael Wenz, Linfield’s vice president for finance and administration and chief financial officer. “More importantly, it ensures that all students are ready for classes on the first day and no one is disadvantaged because they can’t afford their textbooks.”
