Recorded Lecture Policy & Procedure
Accessible Campus Community & Equitable Student Support (ACCESS) will determine if classroom recording is an appropriate academic modification, auxiliary aid, and/or resource with respect to the individual student’s documentation. Prior to the recording of any classroom activity, a Recorded Lecture Agreement must be signed by the student and filed with ACCESS (linked below). This form will be kept on file for the life of the student's enrollment and can be offered for review by instructor as needed. These recordings must be disposed of by the end of the semester and the student will not be permitted to re-publish or share these recordings without expressed explicit permission from the instructor. Recorded lectures can be audio, video, or digitized media formats. Permission to use video or other methods for capturing lecture materials other than audio recording should be acquired from the instructor prior to beginning recording. The student will agree to focus on only recording course material and the instructor, and attempt to avoid capturing other students in the course.
Faculty have the right to protect intellectual property and ensure that the use of recordings is for the sole use of the student as an academic accommodation. Students enrolled in a class where classroom activities are being recorded will be informed electronically by the instructor prior to the first recorded class session. Instructors have the authority to spontaneously, or in advance, prohibit recording of personal student information (i.e. an instructor may tell students in a counseling class that a student’s personal discussion of their own life challenges must not be recorded). The University prohibits the distribution of classroom recordings in any manner. Any alleged violations of the Recorded Lecture Policy will be referred to the University conduct process.
For your convenience, we have also included here a copy of the Recorded Lecture Agreement. Please note, the agreement itself is invalid unless you as the instructor have also received an accommodation letter from our office approving the accommodation.
