Did you know that you could be held responsible for copyright violations on your packets? Publishers are prosecuting professors, universities, and duplicating businesses.

Most of the following documents are in the portable document format (pdf) and require Adobe Acrobat Reader.


Course Packet Information Brochure: This brochure is to be used to help you prepare your course packets. It describes the copyright permissions process that Quick Copy Centers provides. The forms that are required for submitting your course packet to Quick Copy Center are included in this brochure.

Course Packet Request Form: This is the main form used in getting copyright permissions. It lists the information that we need in Quick Copy Centers in order to get copyright permission. One set is included in the Course Packet Information Brochure.

Copyright Information
The Quick Copy Centers offer assistance in obtaining copyright clearances for course packets. With the support of UT System’s Attorney and Georgia Harper’s guidelines, we are following these guidelines to protect our faculty, the University of Texas and the Quick Copy Centers.

Copyright Brochure
The Course Packet Information brochure (provided in pdf format to your right) contains general information on the copyright laws, do’s and don’ts for copying, a course packet request form, and an indemnification form to help speed up the copyright approval process.

Course Packet Deadlines
Due to the large number of course packets that Quick Copy Centers handle for the faculty, we have a four to six-week deadline for all course packets. This deadline was enacted to ensure that we are able to review all of the course packet material and be sure the material complies with the fair use and copyright laws. The deadline also ensures that your course material will be ready by the first day of class.

Occasionally, we have to obtain permission from an individual copyright holder/publisher, which often takes several weeks before a response is received. If your course packet contains copyrighted material, we will not be able to reproduce this packet for your students until we obtain permission.

All packets turned in after the six-week deadline will be processed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
