Obtaining Cases

Columbia CaseWorks cases are available for license and download through our web site which provides a live, watermarked link for use in your courses.

Once you have logged into the site with your UNI, use the Search box to locate the case you need. Click  on “Read More” below the case title to open up the main case page. Then click on “License Case” on the right-hand side. You will be directed to a form. Please complete the form fields per the information below:

1. Check that the professor(s) name is correct. The professor’s name will appear on the case watermark.
2. Fill out the Course Name and Course Number.
3. Complete the number of students with your best approximation.
4. Provide the start and end dates for the course (no longer than 5 months).
5. Click Submit.

You will receive an email with a link from which you and students can download the case. The link should only be posted on CANVAS, Angel, or a password protected website for student access. You may also print the case for inclusion in a print case pack. Please use the CaseLink direct URL at all times to assure the students have the most recent version of the case. Students will be able to download the file from the date of approval until 30 days after your course end date.

Please note that some cases are restricted to Columbia Business School use only. 

If at any time you need assistance with the ordering process, please reach out to Columbia CaseWorks for assistance.

Columbia Business School and Columbia University Students and Alumni

Website accounts are granted only to university faculty and authorized staff. Students receive cases for their courses from their professors or through Canvas. If you are a student or an alumnus who is interested in a case not offered in your courses, we can send you a sample copy for your personal review, if it is available for distribution. Please reach out to Columbia CaseWorks for assistance.
