What Does It Mean to Opt Out?
Opting out removes the Day One Access charge from your student account and revokes your digital access in Blackboard. If you opt out, you are responsible for obtaining the required course materials on your own before assignments are due. Discounted print materials in the bookstore are not available to you upon opting out.
How to Opt Out
Opt-Out Deadlines
| Part of Term | First Day of Class | Last Day to Opt Out |
|---|---|---|
| Fall I - 8 Week | Aug 17, 2026 | Aug 20, 2026 |
| Fall - Full Term | Aug 17, 2026 | Aug 24, 2026 |
| Fall II - 8 Week | October 12, 2029 | October 14, 2026 |
Requests submitted after the deadline cannot be processed.
After You Opt Out
- Digital access in Blackboard is removed within 24 hours.
- You must secure required materials elsewhere at market price. This is often at a higher price than through the Day One Access program.
- You may opt back in up to the add/drop date. After that time, the discounted price is not available.
