How to avoid a copycat catastrophe

Attend one of this fall’s copyright information sessions

August 28, 2023 —

As a member of the International Centre for Academic Integrity, UM takes copyright matters very seriously, for both students and faculty. Usage of copyrighted materials can be tricky at times, which is why the UM Copyright Office holds information sessions every fall.

Whether you’re new to UM or need a refresher, consider attending an information and question session for faculty and instructors.

Upcoming sessions

The UM Copyright office will hold three live sessions this fall via Microsoft Teams.

What faculty and instructors need to know: Tuesday, September 12, 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
Using images: Monday, September 18, 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
What faculty and instructors need to know: Thursday, September 28, 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

All three sessions can be joined at the scheduled times using the same Microsoft Teams link.
