The Copyright at UTS section of the Governance Support Unit website contains important information on copyright matters for staff and students. It outlines the responsibilities and procedures that apply when they use non-UTS materials for study, research and teaching (or administrative purposes).

Information within Copyright at UTS includes:

• Overview of copyright – a basic outline of general copyright matters for students and staff
• Information for students – guidelines for copying works in various formats and for study purposes
• Information for staff – guidelines for preparing teaching materials in accordance with UTS copyright arrangements
• Related information – links to further information on copyright and guidelines on official University notices.

The information does not deal with copyright issues for non-UTS matters. General information is available from the Australian Copyright Council.

Nor does it have information for staff or students who have created copyright material as a part of their job or studies. More information about that can be found in the University's Intellectual Property Policy.

Note: breaches of copyright may also constitute plagiarism or misconduct. For more information on plagiarism see the Coursework Assessment Policy and Procedures Manual. And for the University's response to plagiarism see the Student Discipline and Appeals in this website.
