Copyright Compliance Information
Ownership of any intellectual property created by a student enrolled at the College such as written compositions, musical scores, sculptures, paintings, photographs, films, audio or video recordings, and computer software, shall be vested in the student unless the student has created this intellectual property in the course of employment by the College.

Under those circumstances, the intellectual property may not be the exclusive property of the student.
