Rights to use of student work

SCAD reserves the right to use student work, whether in its entirety or samples, and photographs or videos of students and their work in publications and on SCAD websites or other promotional materials about the university. SCAD may request to purchase student work to be included in the permanent collection. Students are frequently invited to exhibit work in SCAD galleries and in traveling exhibitions. Students also may be invited to sell their work through SCAD galleries, shopSCAD, SCADartsales.com, or through open studio nights held by academic departments.

Students who create copyrightable work with the use of university resources and in furtherance of class projects while enrolled at SCAD grant to the university a royalty-free, nonexclusive, worldwide, transferrable, and perpetual license to use the work (whether in its entirety or samples), together with photographs, and/or videos of students, for the promotion of and/or to advance the interests of the university. This includes the right to reproduce and distribute copies of the work, photographs and/or videos. The complete policy on intellectual property is available at scad.edu/intellectualproperty.
