Audio and Video Recording

Professors will generally grant permission for students to record class lectures for use in personal studies only. Before recording lectures, students should ask permission of the professor and obtain a Recording Agreement form (to be signed by both the professor and the student) from the Office of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs (see Appendix B). Lectures recorded by the student may not be shared with other people outside the classroom setting without the written consent of the lecturer.

Information contained in the recorded lectures is protected under federal copyright laws and may not be published or quoted outside the classroom setting without the expressed consent of the lecturer and without giving proper identity and credit to the lecturer. Students agree to abide by these guidelines with regard to any lectures they record while enrolled as students at Brite Divinity School, Texas Christian University.
