First Day Complete

Take the guesswork out of purchasing course materials! Walsh University students now have the ability to bundle the cost of materials into their tuition and fees at a flat rate. The program results in a 35% to 50% reduction in cost to students. This ensures that students have all of their material for the whole semester available to them before the first day of class.
