Audio Recording Policy and Restrictions:

Unauthorized recording of classes is prohibited. A student seeking to record any class must receive permission through the ADA Office. Once the ADA Office has granted you the accommodation to audio record classroom lecture and discourse, you must provide that notification to your professors. In order to protect the privacy of the other students and professors, while accommodating students with disabilities, certain restrictions must be followed. Violations of this policy could subject a student to discipline under the Lynn University Code of Conduct or to liability under copyright laws and/or civil litigation. Students availing themselves of the audio-recording ADA accommodations must be aware of the following restrictions:
The class audio recording is only for that specific students’ own academic purpose.
The recording may not be used or released for any other purpose.
The recording may not be shared with others. This includes sharing it with other people, including other Lynn University students, non-Lynn University students, friends or family, or posted it on social media.
The information contained in the audio-recorded lecture is protected under federal and international copyright legislation and may not be published, released, or quoted without the lecturer’s explicit written consent and without properly identifying and crediting the lecturer.

All lectures and course materials, including PowerPoint presentations, tests, outlines, and similar materials, are protected by copyright law.
