Copyright Compliance

Cleveland Community College requires all faculty, staff, and students to respect the rights of copyright owners by refraining from actions that constitute an infringement of federal Copyright Law. As stated in, but not limited to, Title 17, U.S.C., Section 101 and following, Copyright Law governs the reproduction, distribution, and use of all copyrighted materials which includes both print and electronic versions of books, periodicals, audio recordings, video recordings, computer programs, CD-ROMs and laserdiscs. Faculty, staff, and students are responsible for adhering to Copyright Law while using College supplies and equipment and in all production and distribution of educational materials and presentations for the College.

The CCC Copyright Manual has been developed to assist with copyright compliance and is on the CCC website. Any student violation of Copyright Law will be treated as a violation of the Student Code of Conduct.
