Copyright Policies & Related Sanctions

Copyright laws protect the rights of creators of works of music, visual art, texts (artistic, informational, scholarly, editorial etc.), plastic arts, architecture, software, multimedia works, dance, drama, or other activities and products covered by federal copyright law (U. S. Code Title 17).  Students, faculty and staff of Notre Dame of Maryland University are expected to follow fair use guidelines of copyrighted material.

Extensive information on copyright in academia is provided online by the Copyright Clearance Center. Loyola-Notre Dame Library also provides information to help students, faculty and staff understand fair use with respect to materials accessed through the library.

Fair use guidelines govern photocopying as well as other means of utilizing copyrighted material. Style manuals such as The Chicago Manual of Style, the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), and the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing provide guidance on how to cite sources within various academic disciplines.

Violations of copyright law include plagiarism, which is an honor charge. Information on the NDMU Honor Board may be found in the Student Handbook.

Unauthorized downloading or illegal distribution of copyrighted material of any kind is strictly against the NDMU honor code and federal law. Any breach of this policy is considered illegal, and any member of the NDMU community involved in such a violation will be subject to disciplinary action. NDMU uses network software to actively detect and shut down illegal music downloads and certain classes of peer-to-peer file-sharing activity; however, individuals are responsible for using network software within approved guidelines. 

Teacher Preparation Program Reporting

Teacher preparation programs are required by federal law to submit a report annually to the state that describes its goals, pass rates on certain exams, and certain assurances. Each state submits to the U.S. Department of Education a report that contains state-level and institutional information. These reports are available to the general public. For more information, see the Title II reports.

Textbook Information

All NDMU Students can access the course schedule through WebAdvisor under sections. Students are directed from the course schedule through a web integration program to the bookstore site where students can find by course the ISBN numbers and retail prices of both required texts and recommended supplemental material. The bookstore staff and website offer cost-saving strategies for students when it comes to purchasing textbooks.

Book Advance funds are available to students who anticipate a refund from financial aid. 

Bookstore staff and students can find the number of students enrolled in a course and the maximum enrollment allowed for a course through WebAdvisor. The Registrar’s Office also has this information.
