NEW MEXICO TECH

   Student Contract for Use of Multimedia Lecture Capture (MLC) provided by New Mexico Tech's Academic Center for Technology (ACT)

New Mexico Tech's Student Access Services (SAS) makes every effort to ensure that appropriate and reasonable accommodations are provided to students with documented disabilities, which substantially limit one or more major life activities. To maintain the integrity of services offered and to comply with applicable law, the following policies and procedures apply to the use of multimedia lecture capture (MLC) as an accommodation in classes.

In consideration of the provision of MLC, the student acknowledges and agrees to the following:

I acknowledge that the recording of lectures is an accommodation provided to me due to a documented disability.

I have provided Student Access Services with appropriate supporting documentation of disability, which supports the multimedia lecture capture accommodation.

I acknowledge that audio recording is a separate accommodation, which must be discussed with SAS and with my professors.

I agree that I will discuss the MLC process with the professor of the course when I present my accommodation letter to them.

I agree that attendance is required to maintain access to the MLC. Multimedia lecture capture does not replace classroom attendance.

I agree that I will use MLC ONLY for my studies and notetaking in the course. I WILL NOT share, copy, lend, sell, post, or otherwise distribute MLC to anyone, including classmates, other students, or the general public.

I agree that multimedia lecture capture may not be used in any way against the faculty member, other lecturers, or students whose classroom comments are taped as part of the class activity.

 

I acknowledge that information contained in the MLC is protected by federal copyright laws and may not be published or quoted without the express consent of the lecturer and without giving proper identity and credit to the lecturer.

I agree that I will use this technology appropriately by not accessing it during class and for the sole purpose of access to information.

I understand that access to the MLC will be suspended after final grades are submitted.

I agree that, if a professor asks for notebooks to be closed and recording devices to be turned off due to confidential, private, or personal class discussions, I will comply by reminding the professor that the class is being recorded.

I agree that I will contact SAS and ACT as soon as possible if I am not able to access the multimedia lecture capture. Technology does not always work in the manner expected.

I understand that any violation of this agreement may be considered a violation of the University's Student Code of Conduct and may result in penalties including suspension, expulsion, and/or the multimedia lecture capture accommodation being revoked. Violations may also constitute a violation of federal and/or state laws and may result in civil or criminal prosecution, payment of fines, and/or incarceration.

Before accessing any New Mexico Tech lecture or class, this agreement shall be signed by the student and the designated college official and kept on file each semester in which the student's accommodation includes MLC.
