At RIT Dubai, the Course Reserve refers to a service provided by the library where essential course materials, such as textbooks, articles, and other resources, are made available for short-term use by students. These materials are typically placed in a designated area of the library, either at the library circulation desk or in G 207 and are meant to ensure that all students in a course have access to the required resources. This system is designed to support academic success by providing equitable access to key learning materials.
