As part of the consolidation with Georgia Southern University (GS), East Georgia will be integrated into GS’s Day1Access (D1A), an inclusive access program which delivers customized digital course materials directly to students through Folio and are available to them on the first day of classes. Not only do students get the exact content they need on “day one,” they also get it at the lowest market price available. D1A turns physical course materials into interactive digital content with instant access. Barnes & Noble College, through GS’s Barnes & Noble @ Georgia Southern campus stores, is its partner in delivering D1A materials. Publishers and Barnes & Noble @ Georgia Southern agree to deliver material digitally to students at greatly reduced prices. The material can be as simple as a digital “eBook” or include courseware access to publisher platforms.
As East Georgia transitions to D1A the KPIs that were used previously to measure the effectiveness of inclusive access will be retained, including:
- The number of courses that offer inclusive access.
- The number of sections that offer inclusive access.
- The number of students in sections with inclusive access.
- The % of students who opt out.
- The amount of dollars saved by the EGSC students.
- Course success rate (A, B, and C rate) in sections with inclusive access.
Progress on the transition to Day1Access will be closely monitored once the consolidation of East Georgia and Georgia Southern take effect on January 1, 2026.
Day1Access will become available to East Georgia students in Spring Semester 2026.
