To reserve computers for classes, please submit your request using our online form.

Please supply your own copy of the item (book, handout, video, CD, etc.) for placement at the SLC. Students with a valid MCard may borrow materials placed on reserve from the SLC front desk.

Many GSIs hold office hours at the SLC. In fact, some terms bring as many as 75 different GSIs from more than a dozen courses. With only 8 meeting alcoves, scheduling can be a challenge. Therefore, we ask that you submit your requests early and allow us up to 48 hours to process your request. Please submit a master list showing all of your GSI's names, uniqnames, and requested days/times. Send the master list to slcgsiofficehours@umich.edu with the subject line GSI Office Hours Request.

Visit the Study Group Program Faculty Page where you can read the Faculty FAQ or request a group for your course.
