Audio-recording Policy

In accordance with Subpart E of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, a student with a qualifying disability which adversely affects his/her ability to take or read notes may be permitted to audio-record class lectures as a form of reasonable academic accommodation. Use of this accommodation is subject to the following conditions:

1. Recordings of class lectures are only for the student’s personal use in study and preparation related to the class.

2. The student may not share these recordings with any other person.

3. The student may not publish or quote the lecture without the written consent of the lecturer.

4. The student agrees to return all recorded lectures to the lecturer or to DSS (if DSS provided the tapes for the student’s use), or destroy all recordings that were made when they are no longer needed for his/her academic work.
