Copyright Resorces for Students

As students you are expected to follow copyright laws and guidelines.  The Eastern Michigan University Copyright Policy states “Faculty, administrators, staff, students and others engaged in University related activities, who violate the University’s copyright policy and/or the law, do so at their own risk, assume all liability for such violations and may be subject to disciplinary action.”

Also remember as student your classroom work, thesis, and dissertations are also protected by these same laws. 

If you have questions or concerns about  your course papers or project, review the Basic Copyright Principles and Fair Use sections on our Copyright at EMU page as well as the other listed topics.
