• When you try to log in, are you entering the username part of your email address, i.e., before the @up.edu part?

"You currently are not registered for any courses that have items on course reserve."

This message can mean either that your name doesn't appear on a course roster in the reserves system, or that your professors do not yet have any items on reserve. Please contact us at library@up.edu so we can determine the reason for this message.

Similarly, if you can log in and you don't see one of your courses listed, but you think there should be course reserves, contact library@up.edu so we can investigate.
