Updates on Services from the Kresge Course Materials Team

The Kresge Course Materials team has made a few changes that we hope will help keep

students and faculty members safe this Fall. You can find all the details on our webpage

 (https://tinyurl.com/rosscoursepacks), but here are a few highlights:

• New TEXTPAK Shipping and Pickup Options: Kresge staff have temporarily

  closed the TEXTPAK delivery point in Kresge Hall. To obtain their TEXTPAKs, 

  students may opt to pick them up at a new point in the University of Michigan’s

  Print-Copy-Mail offices, or have the TEXTPAK shipped to a home address. 

  Our page (https://tinyurl.com/rosscoursepacks) has more details on shipping

  and locations.
  
  

• A Course Materials Chat Service: If you’d like to ask us how to purchase,

  access, or ship your course materials, please give our new Course Materials

  Chat service a try. Just visit our webpage (https://tinyurl.com/rosscoursepacks)

  and type your question in the Chat box. We’ll be available from 10:00AM to 4:00PM,

  Monday through Friday. We also welcome questions at kresge_learn@umich.edu.
  
  

We look forward to assisting you this term! Please contact us at kresge_learn@umich.edu 
if you have any questions for us.
