Spring/Summer TEXTPAK Availability

Spring and Spring/Summer course materials will be published the week of April 20. There may be slight delays in publication as Kresge Learning Support staff work to put new processes in place, but you will receive a Canvas announcement when your course’s materials are accessible. If you’d like to be sure you don’t miss that announcement, please update your Canvas settings.

Digital course materials will be accessible, as usual, through the StudyNet tool in your Canvas course site. Printed course materials, called TEXTPAKs, are also still available for purchase. As you know, the COVID-19 pandemic has required the closure of the Ross campus and restricted TEXTPAK pickup options. To ensure that you can still receive TEXTPAKs, we are working with the University of Michigan’s Print/Copy/Mail service to provide free shipping on all TEXTPAKs through USPS Priority Mail (for US addresses) and UPS Worldship (for international addresses) during the Spring/Summer terms. We hope this will be helpful to you!

If you would like a printed TEXTPAK, please be sure to:

• Purchase it a little earlier than you usually would, to allow time for any shipping delays, and

• Enter the correct shipping address, or the address to which you would like the TEXTPAK delivered, when prompted during the ordering process. (For example, if you have remained on campus, please enter your “campus address;” if you have returned home, please enter your “permanent address”.)

Please contact us at kresge_learn@umich.edu if there is any way we can help.
