Future Courses

If your course is not yet loaded in Canvas, please contact libreserve@utsa.edu to request new materials not owned by the Libraries. Streaming media and some books / e-books require additional processing time and may take several weeks to get. Please submit your request as far in advance as possible to ensure timely access for your students. The Libraries team will communicate with you throughout the process.
