Copyright Guidelines

Copyright protects the moral and economic rights of the author. It is the legal right to copy, manipulate, perform or communicate a creative work. The copyright owner is usually, but not always, the creator of a work. Copyright can be permanently transferred, or assigned, as in an agreement with a publisher. In Canada, all creative works are entitled to copyright protection for the life of the creator plus 50 years.

As a member of the MacEwan community you have certain rights and obligations with respect to the works you create and use.

If you have any questions or inquires regarding copyright, contact Scott Day (MacEwan College Copyright Specialist) at 780-497-4277 or days@macewan.ca
