Copyright Laws and Guidelines

The Print Services staff will not knowingly participate in reproducing materials in violation of copyright. They will refuse to photocopy materials, and this is within institutional policy. Print Services will notify the Office of Academic Affairs of individuals who repeatedly request copying in violation of copyright. If you have a question about copying materials for class use, please ask the Print Services staff or the College of Arts and Sciences Library director.

Civil damages may range from $250 to $10,000 per violation, and assessment of attorney's fees. While the person infringing copyright is the prime offender, the institution may also be sued for failure to follow the law.
