FIRST DAY® COMPLETE

WVU has partnered with  Barnes & Noble to provide undergraduate students with rented course materials at a lower, flat-rate price before the first day of classes. Students will receive email notifications from Barnes & Noble with specific instructions. The cost of the program will automatically be added to their spring charges. Students can choose to opt out of the program for the fall 2025 semester.

PROJECT 168

Project 168 is an innovative approach to add purpose to WVU students’ outside-the-classroom experiences while bringing WVU’s core values to life. At WVU Potomac State College, what a student learns outside of the classroom is just as important as what they learn during class. Project 168 is a way to formally recognize this and provide a credential for extracurricular effort.
