Copyright

Recent changes to the Copyright Act (Canada) and decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada, in particular Alberta (Education) v. Canadian Copyright Licensing Agency (Access Copyright), 2012 SCC 37, have expanded the scope of the fair dealing exception under the Act.

The university’s Fair Dealing Advisory (the “Advisory”) outlines the guidelines for making copies under the fair dealing exception of the Act, including how much of a given work may be copied, how it may be distributed and for what purposes. Please review the Advisory carefully so that you understand what you may copy under fair dealing.

The Copyright FAQ, Guide for Instructors, and Fair Dealing Flowchart provide further details about various aspects of copyright.

We are committed to providing copyright related support and advice to assist faculty, staff. If you have questions please contact the appropriate individual listed as a copyright contact.
