While CSM has moved classes online as a preventative measure to help limit the spread of coronavirus, the following help is available online.
Students should regularly check their CSM student e-mails, as well as their myLearning messages, for the updates regarding campus operations.
During Modified Restricted Operations, all Student Services, including the College Store and Student Account Services (Bursar), will be primarily virtual. In the event that a student has a need that cannot be handled virtually, the student may request an appointment. Learn more about campus access and making appointments.
