0:02 Welcome to campus! At the UWF bookstore,
0:05 we'll be with you from orientation to
0:07 graduation to make sure that you have
0:09 the best college experience possible. Our
0:12 mission is to serve you and that starts
0:14 with course materials. We take the
0:16 headache out of getting course materials
0:18 by working directly with faculty members
0:21 to ensure we have the right book at the
0:23 right time with options like renting,
0:27 buying new used, or even going digital. We
0:31 strive to provide the best and most
0:33 affordable options for you. We're excited
0:36 to introduce to you the Follett Access 
0:38 Program, an innovative course materials
0:41 partnership designed to save you money
0:43 while making your life a little easier.
0:46 The Bookstore and Student Accounts have
0:48 joined forces to get your materials to
0:50 you automatically before the first day
0:53 of class at the lowest available cost
0:56 and it's working. The average cost of
0:59 materials in this program
1:00 has dropped by 27 to 34% which means
1:04 spending less money on books and more
1:06 money in your pocket. Classes are only
1:09 chosen to participate if the materials
1:11 are absolutely required. If your class is
1:14 participating, enrollment is automatic.
1:16 All you will have at least one course
1:19 during your freshman year that
1:20 participates. Since you may encounter
1:22 this program in your first semester, we
1:24 thought it was important to cover Follett
1:26 access in your orientation session. You
1:29 will receive at least one email letting
1:31 you know if you're registered for a
1:32 participating course. You will also see
1:34 charges appear on your UWF tuition and
1:37 fee bill. Access to the materials will be
1:40 granted even if you have paid your bill
1:42 or not so a financial aid delay does not
1:45 mean you can't get your materials. If you
1:47 drop a class before the end of the first
1:49 week of classes, don't worry. If you
1:52 choose not to participate, you can simply
1:54 opt out before the deadline then the
1:56 charge will be removed from your fee
1:57 bill and you will be responsible for
1:59 getting the materials yourself. Today,
2:02 course materials could mean a physical
2:04 textbook, ebook, or interactive course
2:07 software. We strongly recommend that you
2:10 look at your syllabus and make sure that
2:12 you understand what your classes require
2:14 before you opt out. You have until the
2:17 end of the first week of classes to make
2:19 your decision. If you opt out by mistake,
2:22 you can always opt back in until that
2:25 deadline. This has been a brief overview
2:28 of the UWF Follett Access. If you
2:31 have any questions, you can find more
2:33 information about how to access your
2:34 materials along with answers to other
2:37 frequently asked questions at uwf.edu/bookstore.
