Student Academic Creation Policy
Student academic creations are subject to Kansas State University and Kansas Board of Regents (BOR) Intellectual Property Policies. The BOR policy states:
“The ownership of student works submitted in fulfillment of academic requirements shall be with the creator(s). The student, by enrolling in the institution, gives the institution a non-exclusive royalty-free license to mark on, modify, retain the work as may be required by the process of instruction, or otherwise handle the work as set out in the institution’s Intellectual Property Policy or in the course syllabus. The institution shall not have the right to use work in any other manner without the written consent of the creator(s).”
“Otherwise handle,” as referenced in the BOR Intellectual Property Policy, includes display of student work in various media and use for accreditation purposes.
