Getting Started

Use Course Reserves to manage all your required class readings in one place. Get notified when new materials have been added for a class and save items for easy access later.

Transition Guide

As we prepare to transition to a new Course Reserves platform in April 2024, we’re building a transition guide and FAQ.
