Day 1 Textbook Access

All students are enrolled in the D1TA program by default each semester, and the cost of D1TA is charged to their MyCSULB Student Center account. 

• $250 for full-time 
• $165 for part-time

All required textbooks will be listed in Canvas and can be accessed through the MyTextbooks Hub sidebar navigation. As a digital-first program, any textbook that is available digitally will be accessible through Canvas.

• E-books will be delivered through VitalSource, our campus digital book provider
• Courseware (assignment platforms and e-texts) will be delivered through the publisher courseware tools, which link to external publisher platform websites

If a book is not available in a digital format, a physical copy will be included at no additional cost and can be picked up at the Book Information counter inside the Bookstore. These will show in Canvas as a “print” and “ready to be picked up”.

• Physical books picked up as part of D1TA must be returned at the end of the semester
• Multiple emails will be sent about returning any physical books
• For any physical books not returned, students will be charged the replacement costs as shown in their MyTextbooks Hub and emails

Participation in the program is voluntary. Students will have until the last day to add/drop classes without approval to opt out, which is generally 2 weeks for the regular Fall or Spring semester. Check Enrollment Services Key Dates and Deadlines for the exact date. Students can opt out by clicking the “Opt Out” button towards the top right in their MyTextbooks Hub or by emailing D1TA@csulb.edu from their @student.csulb.edu email accounts.

For any additional questions about D1TA, please contact us at D1TA@csulb.edu.
