Audio Recording

Students are informed of the following rules when approved for an audio recording accommodation:

Agreement for the Recording of Lectures

Temple University wishes to make every effort to assist students with disabilities and, to this end, such students may record lectures provided they agree to comply with the
procedures outlined below.

Adherence to these procedures will ensure that the University is able to make a reasonable adjustment under the terms of the Americans with Disabilities Act, while respecting matters of intellectual property and copyright.


The recording of lectures is generally considered to be a "reasonable accommodation" under the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

These procedures form part of the agreement between you and the University and must be adhered to by all students.
I hereby agree that the recordings of any lectures by me, or on my behalf, must be used only for my personal private study, and must not be reproduced or passed on or made available to anyone else other than for transcription purposes including by any electronic means such as email, attachment or posting on any website or social media.

I agree to delete the recordings once they are no longer needed.

I acknowledge that the content of the lectures and the Lecturer’s delivery of the lectures remain the intellectual property of the Lecturer delivering them, and that the Lecturer retains the copyright in the lectures and the recording of them in any form.

I understand that information given in the lectures must be referenced if referred to in my
own academic work.

I understand that if requested by the professor, and notes are not being taken at the time, class discussions should not be recorded.
