Policy Statement - Recordings of Class Session

Policy Regarding Creation of, and Access to, Recordings by the Law School of Class Sessions

All law school courses occur in classrooms equipped with audiovisual telecommunications equipment that is capable of making an audiovisual recording of each class session as it occurs. In order to provide the potential educational benefits of recorded classes to our students, the law school has decided to automatically record, and to archive for a limited period of time, all class sessions occurring in law school classrooms. The purpose of the recordings is to permit students enrolled in each recorded course to access the recordings outside of the regularly scheduled class period, according to rules established by the professor.

Access to recorded classes will be controlled via a secure course management platform, such as ANGEL, and will be restricted to students enrolled in the recorded course, the professor, and those University IIT personnel necessary to maintain the system. All recordings will be deleted following the conclusion of the semester in which the recorded course occurs (unless all identifying student images are edited out of the recording, in which case the professor and law school jointly may decide to retain the edited recording for other purposes).

By registering for or attending law school courses, a student consents to the law school’s making and display of class recordings within the scope of this policy.
