Not unless you can wrangle them out of your base. I was standing in line behind a guy at the Manuals window in Atlanta in the same boat as you. He got his pubs months early and was trying to exchange them for an updated set. They wanted to charge him $135!!! They told him he got the pubs he ordered when he ordered them and was on his own for the updates.
Moral of the story: don't order your pubs until very close to your class date. Then pull several all-nighters doing the cd's.
Or, order the aircraft pubs and Jepps separately; that should keep the updating to a minimum.
