Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 USC 1232g), you may request that the College
not post your project in the online archive.
Who May View Your Senior Project
The College will make the senior project available to its current
faculty, current students and appropriate staff.
Your permission is needed to make the work available on the
internet, should the College wish to do so in the future. You may
grant or revoke this permission at any time by communicating with the
Library.
Final determination of which projects will be widely available
shall
be made by the College, but in no case will we distribute the project
beyond what you have agreed to.
Reasons You May Wish to Restrict Distribution of Your
Project
Please consult your faculty advisor if any of these are likely to apply:
- If there are co-authors whose permission has not been
obtained
- If the work of College faculty is disclosed and their
written consent to distribute has not been obtained.
- If
you plan to publish the project in a journal at a later date and that
journal’s policy does not allow for internet posting of pre-prints.
- If personal information or images, or politically sensitive
information is included.
Copyright
If the project is entirely your work, you own the copyright for the
project. You are free to publish the work elsewhere in its present or
future versions.
In some cases, additional permissions are needed for wider
distribution; please inform us if this is the case. Additional
copyright permissions may be necessary if:
- the project is the result of research done with faculty or
other students
- the
project contains third party copyrighted materials such as images,
music, scripts, etc. that were created by others, or performances are
part of the work, and written permission for their redistribution has
not been obtained
