Spartanburg Community College expects all members of its academic community, including students, to respect copyright and to adhere to the provisions of the United States Copyright Law (Title 17, United States Code and its subsequent amendments). Except as allowed by this code, it is a violation of law for persons to copy, distribute, perform, digitally transmit (in the case of sound recordings) or to create a new work based upon a copyrighted work without the permission of the copyright owner. Examples of copyrighted works include printed materials, sound recordings, video recordings, visual art, computer software, multimedia and websites. Copyright infringement is a violation of College policy and can result in the imposition of discipline under the Student Code and Grievance Procedure. Copyright violations may also incur criminal and civil penalties.
Copyrightable materials, patents and all other forms of intellectual property produced out of the participation of students in activities of the College or by student workers in the course of assigned duties are exclusive property of the College unless other agreements exist.
For more information related to copyright or intellectual property and what types of uses are allowed, contact the SCC Copyright Officer at (864) 592-4485 or by email, moores@sccsc.edu.
