What is the Course Reserves System?

The Automated Reserves System, Course Reserves, manages course reserves including electronic and physical reserves. Course Reserves is a single point access for instructors and students for online reserve services which can include articles from journals or periodicals or book chapters. 

Logging In

 

When logging in for the first time, you will need to click the Submit Registration button to activate your account and start using the system.  You will only need to do this the first time you login to Course Reserves.  


Students can login to Course Reserves using their Campus Connect login information.  After logging in you will see a page listing any course you are registered for that has materials available in course reserves.  If you do not see a course listed, contact your instructor to see if your course has materials available in Ares.
