Copyright at UCQ

Introduction

The information contained in this guide is intended to help faculty, staff, and students to stay copyrigh-compliant in their course work at the University of Calgary

UCQ follows the copyright rules and protocols developed and required by main campus (the University of Calgary) Copyright Office.

The office ensures that our legal obligations set out in the Copyright Act to protect the intellectual property used and created at all university sites.

The Copyright Office manages copyright compliance and does not operate under a collective copyright license agreement. Therefore it is important that UCQ, as extension of main campus, comply in all areas of copyright.
