POLICY REGARDING RECORDING CLASS LECTURES

Suffolk University Law School prohibits the use of tape recorders and all other devices by students to record class lectures unless they have the express consent of the professor. Students who have the express consent of a professor to record a class must make their own arrangements to record the class. University Media Services (UMS) (Sargent Hall, Room 330) is not available to record classes for individual students. Students may borrow audio cassette recorders from UMS at no charge. Students must arrange for the pick-up and return of the audio cassette recorders. Audio cassette tapes are available for sale at UMS for $2.00 each. Permission to record a class applies exclusively to the student who received permission from the professor. The recording may not be accessed or utilized by any other individual. No replication of the recording may be made without the express permission of the professor.

The Dean of Students will ask Media Services to record all classes held during certain religious observances including, but not limited to, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Passover, and Good Friday. In such cases, faculty participation is voluntary.

Any professor may make any changes to the procedure regarding the recording of his or her own classes.

Students who are requesting recording of classes under the Americans with Disabilities Act must contact the Law School Dean of Students.

In accordance with the above policy, all students should be aware that any class, and discussions held therein, may be subject to recording.
