Who Can Access Kresge Databases?
Current Ross Students, Faculty, and Staff
If you are a current Ross School of Business student, faculty or staff member, most of our databases are available for you to access from your home, office, or from any Internet connection. To use these databases outside the Business School, you will be asked to authenticate with your iMpact username and password.
Ross Alumni
If you are a former Ross student, you have access to some Ross resources. You will be asked to authenticate with your iMpact login information. If you do not have an iMpact login, or do not remember your username or password, view the alumni community's instructions on setting up iMpact access.
Non-Ross Affiliates
If you are not affiliated with the Ross School of Business, you can still use many of our resources remotely.
