Your professor may simply email the files to students, so be sure your uniqname@umich.edu email address is forwarding to an account you check regularly.   Also be certain your email address is correct in My iMpact.

When emailing files back to your professor, be aware that you cannot send attachments over 2MB in size through the University email system.

Professors can share files with students in the R:\Courses network folder.  The lab computers throughout the Business School are already able to access this folder.  This folder can be accessed on your laptop and from off campus through the internet using ftp.  The files and folders in R:\Courses are read-only - students cannot save or modify files in this network location.

Many Business School courses have worksites in CTools, a course communication and management web tool offered through the University of Michigan.  Professors can post announcements and additional documents on CTools.
 

CTools provides features to supplement and enhance teaching and learning, and CTools is very easy to use.  Once you are registered for a course that has a CTools site, it will be automatically listed in your Workspace.  If you do not see the site you are looking for, you can browse for it through "Membership" and choose to Join the site to add it to your active sites in CTools. 

Documents and assignments will be stored in Resources or Assignments within the class site.  Most files will be posted as Microsoft Office files or pdf files.  Acrobat Reader is installed on the lab computers and is available as a free download from Adobe for your laptop.  Login to CTools to get started.
 

The lab computers throughout the Business School are already mapped to access the R:\Courses folder.  This folder can be accessed on your laptop and from off campus through the internet using ftp.  The files and folders in R:\Courses are read-only - students cannot save or modify files in this network location.
 

We have standard computing labs on the bottom floor of the Electronic Resources building and the Courtyard Lab in the hallway outside of the labs, as well as workstations on the second floor within the Kresge Library, in the Student Lounge and in various locations throughout the Business School complex.  These workstations are available for unlimited time without reservations during regular hours.  Workstations within the Library are available during regular Library hours.  Workstations within the computing labs are available during lab hours.  All other workstations are available whenever the buildings are open.  All computer workstations run Windows Vista with the Office 2007 Suite, as well as specialized software - visit the software page for a list of available software.  These workstations have optical mice, sound cards (please provide your own headphones) and CD-Rom drives. 

Our Commerce Park facility in Dearborn offers the same wireless access and lab software as the Ann Arbor campus, and is available primarily for our Evening MBA students.

The software available on lab computers is also available for use on your own desktop computer or laptop by using our Virtual Lab, which is available 24 hours a day.

A Multimedia Lab on the fourth floor of the Kresge Building within the Library contains workstations equipped with specialized software and equipment for creating and editing video for use in presentations.  To learn more and to reserve a workstation, visit the Multimedia lab page.
 

Any special software needed for your classes will be loaded on the workstations available in the computing labs, library and throughout the Business School complex.
