Course Reserves search
Search for your course reserves! Just enter the course ID number or the instructor’s last name in the search field and select the appropriate option in the drop down menu. (Note: searching by course name is inconsistent and is not recommended.)
Be careful and use the exact course ID with the correct spacing between the initials (e.g. CN ED 503 not CNED503) or your search will fail. If you get zero results, try adjusting the course ID.
