What Happens When the Campus Receives a Copyright Violation Notice?

This page contains information about what happens when the campus receives a copyright violation notice.

From the Copyright Compliance Statement:

CITES Security investigates all legitimate complaints regarding online copyright violations. They notify the network administrator and student discipline office for students or the network administrator and unit head for faculty and staff upon receiving a request that copyrighted information be removed.

The machine is prohibited from Internet access until CITES Security has been notified that the copyrighted information has been removed and that appropriate disciplinary action has been taken by the unit head or student discipline office.

Copyright violations may be the result of a compromised system, so CITES Security may request that the system also be examined for compromises/unauthorized activities before further action is taken.

Subsequent copyright violations may result in termination of network and computer access and further disciplinary action as deemed appropriate by student discipline, personnel, or academic human resources.
