Copyright Compliance Policy

Overview:

In undertaking teaching, research or other University activities, it is often necessary to use, adapt or link to material that is owned by a party other than the University. The University supports the lawful use of Third Party Material for these purposes.

This Policy sets out the University's position on the use of Third Party Material and associated copyright compliance requirements. As copyright infringements may result in civil or criminal action against the University and / or the individual responsible for the infringement, copyright compliance is each individual's responsibility.

This Policy does not set out the University's position on the ownership of copyrighted material created by members of the University. That is addressed in the Intellectual Property Policy.
