e-Learning Portal Access
U.S. copyright law (Copyright Act of 1976, Title 17 of the United States Code) and Conference on Fair Use guidelines (published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office) mandate that copyright-protected course materials posted on the Bastyr University e-Learning portal be password protected and restricted to students currently enrolled in the class. These materials include, but are not limited to, journal articles, single chapters from books, and instructor-created PowerPoint presentations or other instructional tools that utilize copyright-protected materials.
To comply with copyright law and fair use guidelines, students are allowed access to current quarter course materials on Canvas one week prior to the start of the quarter and one week after the end of the quarter to review any assignments, materials and review any feedback on ending assessments and exams. No course will be opened outside of this time for students.
Approval for course access is at the discretion of the Provost Office outside standard course openings.
