In addition to requesting the removal of class materials that have already been uploaded to a website, encouraging students not to upload class materials in the first place may be an effective tool in protecting copyrighted materials and the academic integrity of the university.  The following sample statement may be used by faculty members in their syllabi in order to provide notice to students that they should not copy materials or upload them to websites. 

 

Use of Class Materials

The materials used in this class, including, but not limited to, exams, quizzes, and homework assignments are copyright protected works.  Any unauthorized copying of the class materials is a violation of federal law and may result in disciplinary actions being taken against the student.  Additionally, the sharing of class materials without the specific, express approval of the instructor may be a violation of the University's Student Honor Code and an act of academic dishonesty, which could result in further disciplinary action.  This includes, among other things, uploading class materials to websites for the purpose of sharing those materials with other current or future students.
