[cid:image001.jpg@01DBFD5E.F2E6D990] Message from Laurie Schnarr, Vice-Provost (Students) Dear students, I hope this message finds you well - whether you are continuing your studies or enjoying a well-deserved break for the summer months. I'm writing to share an important update on UM's copyright policy<https://umanitoba.ca/governance/governing-documents/governing-documents-uni…>, specifically regarding the use of course materials. The Copyright Office has received numerous reports that course materials created by faculty have been posted or shared without the permission of the faculty member who owns that content. In response to this issue, the Copyright Office has updated the UM copyright guidelines<https://news.umanitoba.ca/updated-um-copyright-guidelines-add-clarity-for-f…> to help students, staff and faculty determine what may be legally copied or shared . As a student, it's important to understand that course materials created by an instructor or professor are copyrighted content. This includes PowerPoints, handouts, or notes made available for private study and research. These materials must not be shared or distributed in any format without authorization (this includes course note sharing or tutoring websites such as Course Hero, Chegg, etc.). Violating copyright<https://umanitoba.ca/copyright/guidelines/copyright-information#um-copyrigh…>, or engaging in unauthorized file sharing or recording, can result in serious consequences for students at UM, including but not limited to disciplinary actions under the University's Student Discipline Bylaw<https://umanitoba.ca/governance/sites/governance/files/2021-09/Student%20Di…>, Student Academic Misconduct Procedure<https://umanitoba.ca/governance/sites/governance/files/2021-06/Student%20Ac…>, and Student Non-Academic Misconduct and Concerning Behaviour Procedure<https://umanitoba.ca/governance/sites/governance/files/2021-09/Student%20No…>.
