Lecture Audio Recording

The accommodation to audio record lectures through the use of an audio recording device allows students with disabilities to have equal access to receive and process information presented in class by supporting their note taking needs. Methods of making an audio recording may include an audio recording device or the use of recording software on a laptop or cellular phone.

This accommodation is approved on an individual basis to ameliorate the symptoms that may impact a student within a classroom setting. Students who have been granted access to record audio lectures through the formal accommodation process, are subject to and agree to abide by the following conditions:

  • Recordings of class lectures are only for the student’s personal use in study and preparation related to the class. If a student is studying or preparing in a public or semi-private space including a dorm room, library, coffee shop, community space or others, they must ensure that any content is strictly limited to their personal use and not to be heard by others.
  • The student may NOT share these recordings with any other person, whether or not that person is in their class.
  • Recordings must remain on student’s personal device for personal use in study and preparation for course and cannot be shared or transferred by any method currently available or any method which may become available in the future. For instance, recordings may not be uploaded to file-sharing sites, posted on the web or to any form of social media, provided to journalists, newspaper, blogs or shared in any other way.
  • The student acknowledges that the recordings of lectures are sources, the use of which in any academic work is governed by rules of academic conduct in addition to federal copyright laws. Students acknowledge that course lectures and materials are the protected intellectual property of the professor and the student could be subject to disciplinary action for violating those rights and this agreement. Student agrees to not upload, broadcast, publish, quote, share or release all or any part of these recordings.
  • All students who receive this accommodation agree to destroy any recordings, in any and all formats, within 10 days from the completion of the academic term for the course.
