How FGCU First Day Ready Works
Register For Classes
When registering for courses, you will be automatically enrolled in the program and the bookstore will start preparing your order. A charge of $20 per credit hour will be applied to your FGCU student account along with your tuition.
Verify Your Order
Starting 30 days before the first day of class, you will receive an email that summarizes your required and recommended course materials and prompts you to select fulfillment preference for pickup or delivery.
Receive Your Textbooks
An email notification will be sent when your order is ready for pickup or when it ships. Your digital materials will be accessible for your course(s) within Canvas.
