Welcome to the Bulldog Bundle program, formerly known as First Day Complete, at the University of Redlands – an additional solution for course material needs! We are thrilled to introduce this new initiative to enhance the academic experience and ensure our students have everything they need to succeed.
The University of Redlands has partnered with Barnes & Noble to offer an additional way to obtain your course materials by offering a comprehensive package tailored to students’ specific courses and instructors. With Bulldog Bundle, students have access to all required textbooks, etextbooks, lab manuals, access codes, and other essential materials – ensuring you are fully prepared for every class.
Bulldog Bundle streamlines the textbook purchasing and rental process, providing students with significant cost savings compared to purchasing individual textbooks. Plus, by bundling materials together, students will save valuable time and energy that can be better spent focusing on their studies.
Getting started with Bulldog Bundle is easy! Simply visit the dedicated Bulldog Bundle portal, which includes all the information needed to participate in the program. Here’s how it works:
Bulldog Bundle is a course material delivery model that simplifies the student experience, lowers the cost of materials, and ensures students have access to all of their required course materials on or before the first day of class. Through this program, course materials are conveniently packaged and provided to students on a rental basis. At the end of the term, students will receive email reminders to return rented physical course materials to the bookstore.
All students within the College of Arts and Sciences undergraduates are eligible to participate in the Bulldog Bundle program.
The program provides all required course materials in the format determined by the faculty instructor.
The program does not include consumable course supplies that cannot be returned and reused, such as lab goggles, dissection kits, molecular model and engineering kits. In addition, Bulldog Bundle does not include shipping costs for delivery to students outside of the campus bookstore or designated locations on campus.
All College of Arts & Sciences undergraduate students will be automatically enrolled in the Bulldog Bundle program.
Students can opt-out of the Bulldog Bundle program each semester during the opt-out window, which is open from August 5 through September 20. By opting out, students will not receive their required materials in a convenient package, and access to digital content will be removed after the opt-out window closes. Options for purchasing course materials after opting out can be found on the bookstore website. When a student opts out of the program, they should allow 5-7 days for the charge to be removed from their student account.
To opt back into the Bulldog Bundle program, please click here or follow the instructions found in your opt out confirmation email. Please note you must make your final selection by September 20.

If course materials have been picked up or delivered for the dropped class, those materials should be returned to the bookstore within 48 hours. If you drop a class and enroll in a different class, the bookstore will “swap” the required course materials so that you have what you need. As students add and drop classes, the charge on your student account will be adjusted based on the number of registered units.

The charges will be applied to your student account with your tuition and fees, as well as your grants, scholarships, and loans. If you have a credit from your financial aid awards, it will automatically be applied to this additional charge. If you have a payment plan, the cost of the Bulldog Bundle will be spread over your remaining monthly payments. If you need additional financial aid to help cover the cost, you may apply for additional aid to cover the charges.
At this time, students can continue to access the Book Lending Program through the existing process.
