Are my term papers, web pages and projects protected by copyright?
Yes. By including your name and contact information on every web page, presentation or paper you create, it is easy for others to contact you for permission. When may I use a copyrighted work? Students follow the same permissions and fair use guidelines as all other members of the university. Students using copyrighted materials need to abide by US copyright law. You may legally use copyrighted materials in some circumstances. You must ask the copyright holder for permission to use a copyrighted work unless your use is covered by one of law’s exemptions, such as Fair Use.
